Continuous Integration in DevOps with Jenkins Online Course

Continuous Integration in DevOps with Jenkins Online Course

This course takes you from Jenkins setup to advanced CI/CD pipelines, starting with server configuration, dashboard navigation, and lab environment setup. You’ll build confidence by manually creating pipelines—forking repositories, building Java applications, adding tests, packaging jobs, and visualizing workflows with the Build Pipeline plugin. As you progress, you’ll master Pipeline as Code with Jenkinsfiles, multi-branch pipelines, and Git-based workflows using the Blue Ocean UI. Finally, you’ll integrate Jenkins with Docker to automate builds and publish images. With hands-on labs throughout, this course ensures you gain practical, real-world CI/CD skills.

Who should take this course?

This course is ideal for developers, DevOps engineers, system administrators, and IT professionals who want to master continuous integration using Jenkins. It’s well-suited for those with basic programming or system administration knowledge who are looking to streamline software delivery, automate builds, and improve testing workflows.
