This topic covers the GitHub-specific concepts needed to integrate version control with CI/CD pipelines, focusing on how repository events trigger automated workflows.
This topic dives into how Jenkins pipelines are structured and written, moving students from simple manual jobs to fully automated, code-defined pipelines.
This topic covers how automated testing is integrated into Jenkins pipelines, ensuring that code is validated at every stage and that teams are quickly alerted when something breaks.
This topic covers how Jenkins is used to automatically deploy applications after successful builds and tests, along with strategies for managing sensitive data and recovering from failed deployments.
This topic introduces GitHub Actions, GitHub's native CI/CD tool, giving students a comparison point to Jenkins and helping them understand when each tool might be the better choice.
This topic brings together everything learned so far into a hands-on project, giving students practical experience building and running a complete CI/CD pipeline from start to finish.
This final topic helps students understand the certification landscape related to CI/CD and DevOps tools, preparing them for the next steps in advancing their careers in this field.
This lesson compares Jenkins Freestyle jobs, which are configured through the UI, with Pipeline jobs, which are defined as code, helping students understand the advantages of the pipeline approach for complex workflows.
