Jenkins & CI/CD

Description

One of the most crucial procedures of every organization in need of DevOps adoption is the production pipeline. Testing, installation, and deployment against a multitude of environments (development, QA, production, etc.) are additional requirements that increase the complexity of the integration problem. Continuous Integration software tools give us the ability to achieve these goals and ultimately with effective solutions. Jenkins is one of the most popular open source Continuous Integration software tools in the market, used by thousands of companies and millions of developers throughout the globe.

Through this Code.Learn Jenkins & CI/CD program, designed in exclusive collaboration with Athens Tech College, participants will use Jenkins to explore all aspects of Continuous Integration up to Continuous Deployment. They will be taught how to create simple pipelines to automate various configuration and administrative tasks. They will learn how to implement both scripted and declarative Jenkins Pipelines. As a result of the use of Jenkins Pipelines participants will be able to create fully automated solutions for integrating newly committed code to the codebase, generating artifacts, and deploying applications to various environments.
