Build DevOps CI/CD Pipelines with Jenkins and Ansible

Overview

By the end of this course, learners will be able to design DevOps architecture, configure CI/CD pipelines, automate builds and deployments, and validate a fully automated development environment using industry-standard tools. This hands-on DevOps case study course guides learners through the complete automation of a development environment, from initial project planning to final deployment. Learners will gain practical experience with cloud infrastructure using AWS EC2, source code management with GitHub, continuous integration using Jenkins, build automation with Maven, application deployment on Apache Tomcat, and configuration management with Ansible. The course emphasizes real-world DevOps workflows rather than isolated tool usage. Each module builds progressively, helping learners understand not just how to configure tools, but why each step is essential in a modern CI/CD pipeline. By following an end-to-end case study, learners develop the ability to troubleshoot, optimize, and automate deployments with confidence. What makes this course unique is its project-driven approach, clear architectural focus, and practical automation mindset—making it ideal for aspiring DevOps engineers, system administrators, and developers looking to transition into DevOps roles with job-ready skills.

Syllabus

Project Foundations & Architecture

This module introduces the DevOps case study by explaining the project objectives, DevOps principles, and architectural roadmap, enabling learners to understand how automated development environments are designed using cloud infrastructure and version control systems.

CI/CD Pipeline with Jenkins & Tomcat

This module focuses on building a continuous integration and delivery pipeline by configuring Jenkins, Maven, and Apache Tomcat to automate builds, manage dependencies, and deploy Java applications in a controlled runtime environment.

Automated Deployment with Ansible

This module demonstrates automated deployment and configuration management using Ansible, covering security best practices, Jenkins job execution, and end-to-end DevOps pipeline validation.
