Jenkins Unlocked: 4-In-One

Merge multiple services to create an optimal code delivery workflows and pipelines

What you'll learn

Master the art of Jenkins management like adding a build node, security and plugin management

Work with automated builds of Jenkins like freestyle project, Git, scheduled builds, and up/downstream jobs

Build and test Java web applications

Deal with database script deployments in the delivery pipeline

Understand Agile tests and implement them in the delivery process

Master pain-points in building complex pipelines with pipeline as code

Requirements

Basic knowledge of the software development life cycle and Java development is needed

Basic understanding of Jenkins is a plus point

Description

This training program includes 4 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.
The first course, Effective Jenkins: Getting Started with Continuous Integration, covers key concepts of Continuous Integration, as well Continuous Deployment. You will understand the main parts of Jenkins and create different types of Jenkins projects to automate everything that you want. You will finish the first course by looking at a Java web project and creating the necessary steps to build and test it, thereby empowering you to implement it in a real project.


The second course, Effective Jenkins: Continuous Delivery with Jenkins Pipeline, covers key concepts of DevOps and delve into Jenkins Pipeline, a set of plugins that provides a toolkit for designing simple-to-complex delivery pipelines as code. To design a production-ready delivery pipeline, you will start by creating a simple pipeline and understanding Jenkins Pipeline terms and its particularities. Next, you will set up Docker to create isolated build environments. To consolidate your learning, you will create a delivery pipeline to build, test, and deploy a Java web project.


The third course, Effective Jenkins: Improving Quality in the Delivery Pipeline with Jenkins, cover various branching strategies and how to implement continuous feedback on every feature branch using Jenkins multi-branch. Moving on, you'll improve the quality of your software development workflows and learn how to integrate Jenkins with GitHub to automatically build pull requests.


The fourth course, Practical Jenkins, gets you up and running with Jenkins and enables you to deliver an optimal Jenkins deployment. Explore and configure features such as high availability, security, monitoring, and backing up/restoring data, which are basically all of the things you need to implementing a scalable and production grade infrastructure. Also, learn how to implement distributed builds, automate build pipelines, and integrate your Jenkins deployment with external services, thus showing you how to increase your team's productivity with pipeline as a code building advanced pipelines faster and easier.


By the end of this training program you’ll be thoroughly equipped with the concepts of Jenkins and be able to automate, implement, secure, and manage your Jenkins deployment in no time
