Design and Implement a DevOps CI/CD Pipeline Case Study

Overview

By the end of this course, learners will be able to design, implement, and evaluate a complete DevOps CI/CD pipeline using industry-standard tools and real-world practices. They will gain the ability to provision development environments, manage source code with Git-based workflows, containerize applications, configure continuous integration, automate deployments, and monitor application performance within a production-like setup. This hands-on, case study–driven course enables learners to move beyond isolated tool usage and understand how DevOps components work together across the full CI/CD lifecycle. Participants will build practical skills in Docker, Jenkins, configuration automation, web server deployment, and monitoring, while applying declarative pipeline principles to create maintainable and scalable automation workflows. What makes this course unique is its end-to-end, project-centric approach. Instead of focusing on individual tools in isolation, learners follow a cohesive DevOps implementation from initial setup through deployment and observability. This practical orientation prepares learners for real DevOps roles by simulating professional workflows, challenges, and decision-making processes commonly encountered in modern software delivery environments.

Syllabus

Building the DevOps Foundation

This module introduces learners to the foundational components of a DevOps CI/CD lifecycle by establishing project context, configuring development infrastructure, preparing backend source code, implementing containerization, and setting up core continuous integration tooling required for automated application delivery.

CI/CD Pipeline Implementation and Operations

This module focuses on implementing and operationalizing a full CI/CD pipeline by configuring Jenkins architectures, automating deployments, integrating configuration management, enabling infrastructure monitoring, and applying declarative pipeline practices for reliable and maintainable DevOps operations.
