Skills
Deployment, operations and service continuity
Shipping a release without interrupting service, monitoring what runs, rolling back within minutes: deployment is the skill that turns written software into a service an organisation relies on every day.
Shipping without stopping the service
A team that ships once a quarter ships big, and therefore ships risk. A team that ships weekly ships small, and catches the gap the same day. That reversal rests on precise practices: every change is versioned and reviewed, tests run automatically, the release rolls out in stages and the previous one stays available. The programme teaches that full chain, with the monitoring and backups that make it sustainable.
- Version code as a team and run a change review
- Automate testing and delivery through to the production environment
- Monitor a running service and alert on the right signal
- Restore a service and its data after a major incident
The taught hours, block by block
The catalogue rule applies throughout: one credit stands for twenty-five hours of work, ten of them taught. These rows give the exact translation.
| Teaching block | Programme | Taught hours | Year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deployment and operations | Computer Science programme — Bac+3 level | 180 h | Year 3 |
| Deployment | Web and Mobile Development | 140 h | Year 2 |
| Service continuity | Networks and Cloud | 120 h | Year 2 |
| Deployment and monitoring | Artificial Intelligence programme — Bac+5 level | 140 h | Year 2 |
Where it gains its worth
The same act is valued differently depending on the level of responsibility: the table makes that visible.

| Application Developer | experienced developer | 5 · Senior technician and supervisor | 800 h |
| Infrastructure and Cloud Manager | infrastructure manager, operations manager | 6 · Manager and professional | 800 h |
| Development Team Lead | lead developer, technical team manager | 6 · Manager and professional | 800 h |
