Continuous Integration in DevOps with Jenkins Online Course
Continuous Integration in DevOps with Jenkins Online Course
This online course provides a comprehensive introduction to Jenkins, guiding you through the setup and configuration of Jenkins and its dashboard. You'll learn how to create CI pipelines manually, including forking Git repositories, setting up build jobs for Java applications, and adding unit tests. The course covers connecting upstream and downstream jobs and visualizing workflows using the Build Pipeline plugin. As you progress, you’ll master Pipeline as Code with Jenkinsfile syntax, explore multi-branch pipelines, and enforce Git-based workflows. The course concludes with practical integration of Jenkins and Docker, automating Docker image builds, and managing Docker agents. With hands-on labs and real-world examples, you'll gain valuable experience in building efficient CI pipelines.
