Welcome to the "Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery with Jenkins" course! This comprehensive course is designed to provide you with a deep understanding of Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD), two essential practices in modern software development.
We begin by exploring the fundamental concepts of CI, explaining how it integrates code changes from multiple contributors into a shared repository several times a day. You'll learn why CI is crucial for early detection of integration bugs and how it improves the overall software quality.
Next, we delve into the differences between Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment, helping you understand the nuances and applications of each. Continuous Delivery ensures that your code is always in a deployable state, whereas Continuous Deployment goes a step further by automatically deploying every change that passes the automated tests to production.
For the practical part of the course, we will use Jenkins, a widely adopted CI/CD tool. You will learn how to set up Jenkins on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Compute Engine, configure it for your projects, and automate your build, test, and deployment processes. We'll cover essential Jenkins features such as pipelines, plugins, and integrations with other tools, ensuring you can build a robust CI/CD pipeline.
By the end of this course, you'll also be well-prepared for software engineering interviews, as we'll cover the top CI/CD-related interview questions. This knowledge will help you confidently discuss CI/CD practices and tools with potential employers, showcasing your expertise in this critical area of software development.
Whether you are a software engineer looking to improve your CI/CD skills, a DevOps engineer tasked with implementing CI/CD pipelines, or a student preparing for a career in software development, this course will provide you with the knowledge and hands-on experience you need to succeed.
