The Linux Foundation has released a new free course titled 'Feature Flagging with OpenFeature (LFS140)' to advance release engineering practices. The course focuses on implementing progressive delivery and experimentation at scale using OpenFeature. It aims to help teams achieve safe, repeatable releases that build trust.
On November 12, 2025, the Linux Foundation announced a new educational offering through a post on X (formerly Twitter). The course, 'Feature Flagging with OpenFeature (LFS140)', is available for free and targets professionals in release engineering, DevOps, and cloud-native development.
The announcement emphasizes the importance of safe releases: 'Fast releases are impressive. Safe, repeatable releases build trust.' It highlights how the course enables learners to 'implement progressive delivery and experimentation at scale with OpenFeature.' Key skills covered include integrating OpenFeature into real projects, evaluating flags in code, managing flag debt, and running safer canary and dark launches. These techniques are designed to keep teams moving forward without breaking production environments.
OpenFeature is presented as a tool for progressive delivery, allowing controlled feature rollouts. The Linux Foundation positions this training as a way to make release engineering a differentiator: 'Ready to make release engineering your differentiator? Enroll now.' Enrollment is available via a provided link.
The course aligns with broader trends in software engineering, including continuous delivery and site reliability engineering (SRE). Hashtags in the post include #FeatureFlagging, #DevOps, #CloudNative, #OpenFeature, #PlatformEngineering, #SRE, and #ContinuousDelivery, indicating its relevance to these fields.
This initiative reflects the Linux Foundation's commitment to open-source education, providing accessible resources for building robust deployment practices.
