Cloud bills rise, release pipelines multiply and platform teams grow, yet many organisations cannot show whether any of it improves reliability, speed or value. Over ten days you learn to measure engineering performance rigorously and evaluate it honestly. You define outcomes and indicators, then use the four DORA metrics of deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate and recovery time, alongside service level indicators, objectives and error budgets from site reliability engineering.
Technical labs build observability with Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry and cloud-native monitoring on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, while FinOps modules cover tagging, cost allocation, unit economics, rightsizing, commitments and showback. Later days evaluate platform engineering products through developer experience surveys, adoption and cognitive load measures, run post-incident and maturity reviews, and design governance, reporting and continuous improvement cycles. A final project assesses a live or simulated platform. Cloud architects, DevOps and site reliability engineers, platform leads, FinOps practitioners, IT managers and technology auditors will benefit. Classroom, online and in-house delivery lead to a CPD-accredited certificate, and you finish able to present an evidence-based performance review to executives.
Cloud adoption, delivery automation and internal platforms are now among the largest investments in technology budgets, and boards want proof that the spending is producing results. Engineering leaders in turn are asked to show faster releases without more outages, controlled cloud costs and platforms that developers choose to use. Without a disciplined approach to monitoring and evaluation, teams rely on anecdote, vanity numbers or whichever dashboard happens to be available.
The Monitoring and Evaluation of Cloud, DevOps, FinOps & Platform Engineering Training Course brings the discipline of evaluation into technical operations. The first half establishes the foundations: theory of change for technology programmes, indicator design, baselines, data sources and the DORA and SRE measurement frameworks. It then builds the telemetry layer with metrics, logs and traces, and sets service level objectives that connect technical signals to user experience. The second half applies these methods to cost management through FinOps, to platform engineering products and developer experience, and to security, compliance and sustainability indicators.
Participants alternate between concept sessions and hands-on labs. By the end they have designed a measurement framework, built working dashboards, completed an evaluation of a platform case and drafted a reporting calendar for senior management.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
