What is the DevOps Automation for Jekyll-Based Systems course about?

Even well-structured documentation projects can become time sinks when rebuilds fail, dependencies break, or deployment workflows aren't automated. Without a consistent, containerized foundation, teams waste cycles debugging environment mismatches and manual processes instead of shipping valuable content.
