DevOps and Jenkins Fundamentals

Overview

Kickstart your journey into modern software development with DevOps and Jenkins Fundamentals. In this course, you will learn how your Dev and Ops teams can collaborate to crush these release barriers, increase the quality of your deliverables, reduce error rates, and accelerate the delivery of your product. You’ll then start with the very fundamentals of DevOps and explore everything else in the tool chain - followed by why CI/CD should be adopted and how all these tools come together to boost your productivity. Next, you will work hands-on with Jenkins―the most commonly used automation tool. Learn its practical uses, key features, architecture, and terminology, while navigating the Jenkins dashboard and menus with ease. Structured demos guide you through installing Jenkins with Docker and setting it up on both Windows and Linux, giving you confidence to apply your knowledge immediately. By the time you’re done with the course, you’ll know how to automate builds, deal with deployments, and CI/CD pipelines, enabling you to take your first real steps into DevOps practices and be ready to efficiently work on real-world projects.
