About this course
This course develops practical capability in Jenkins Fundamentals. Its course-specific content covers Jenkins architecture, Jobs and source control, Pipeline as code, Build evidence, followed by an applied project focused on implement a basic jenkins build-and-test pipeline. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Learners starting in devops & ci/cd and professionals who want an organized foundation before more advanced work.
Before you start
Basic computer literacy and comfort using the relevant operating system. No prior production experience is assumed; any lab accounts or software are confirmed before training.
Implement a basic Jenkins build-and-test pipeline
Deliver implement a basic jenkins build-and-test pipeline. Use the module outcomes to state requirements, demonstrate a working result, test an expected failure or boundary case, and document assumptions and follow-up work.
