This course is designed to teach you the fundamentals of Continuous Integration (CI) and Jenkins pipelines using Amazon Web Services (AWS). The course is divided into three parts:
Continuous Integration Concepts - In this section, you will learn about the benefits of continuous integration and the tools that are commonly used in building pipelines. You will also learn about which languages to use, such as Groovy, and which platforms to choose.
Getting Started with Jenkins - This section is all about getting hands-on experience with Jenkins. You will launch a cloud environment and deploy Jenkins. Then, you will explore the pipeline stages and learn how to develop them. You will also learn how to use third-party tools like Twilio and Dockerhub.
Understanding and Implementing a Typical CI Workflow - In the final section, you will learn about more advanced topics in pipelines such as scaling and parallelism. You will develop a Python Flask application and use Git commands to learn how integration between version control (GitHub) and Jenkins works. You will also learn how to automate the pipeline by triggering it using a webhook in GitHub.
By the end of this course, you will gain expertise in:
Continuous integration concepts and best practices
Creating and implementing pipelines in Jenkins on a free-tier cloud platform (AWS)
Integrating third-party tools like Twilio and Dockerhub
Working with Git commands and version control systems
Optimizing observability and automating the pipeline
