Implement CI/CD Automation with Jenkins, Docker & Kubernetes

Overview

By the end of this course, learners will be able to design, configure, and implement an end-to-end CI/CD pipeline to automate the deployment of a containerized application using Jenkins, Docker, GitHub, and Kubernetes. This hands-on DevOps case study guides learners through a real-world automation workflow, starting from project and lab setup to building a fully functional CI/CD pipeline. Learners will gain practical experience installing and configuring Jenkins, managing plugins and credentials, integrating source code repositories, building and publishing Docker images, and deploying applications on a Kubernetes cluster. The course emphasizes practical execution over theory, enabling learners to understand how modern DevOps tools work together in an enterprise-style environment. Each step is demonstrated in a logical sequence, helping learners connect concepts with real implementation scenarios. What makes this course unique is its case-study-driven approach, which mirrors real production pipelines rather than isolated tool demonstrations. Upon completion, learners will be equipped with job-ready skills to automate application delivery, improve deployment consistency, and confidently implement CI/CD workflows in real DevOps projects.

Syllabus

Laying the DevOps Foundation

This module introduces learners to the DevOps case study, outlining the project scope, lab environment, and core CI/CD tools required to automate the deployment of a containerized application using industry-standard DevOps practices.

Building the CI/CD Automation Pipeline

This module focuses on implementing deployment automation by configuring Jenkins, managing plugins, setting up Kubernetes, and designing an end-to-end CI/CD pipeline for containerized application delivery.
