Course Curriculum

Introduction to CI/CD
  1. What is CI/CD?
    • Overview of Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment/Delivery (CD).
    • Benefits of CI/CD pipelines in modern software development.
    • Differences between CI, CD, and DevOps practices.
  2. The Role of Jenkins in CI/CD
    • Introduction to Jenkins as an automation server.
    • How Jenkins fits into the CI/CD lifecycle.
    • Key concepts: Jobs, Pipelines, and Stages.
Jenkins Installation and Setup
  1. Setting up Jenkins
    • Installation on different platforms (Windows, Linux, Docker, Cloud).
    • Initial configuration: Setting up Jenkins as a service.
    • Exploring the Jenkins UI and understanding its components.
  2. Basic Jenkins Configuration
    • Configuring Jenkins system settings.
    • Setting up security and user permissions.
    • Installing essential plugins for CI/CD.
Jenkins Pipeline Basics
  1. Understanding Jenkins Pipelines
    • What is a Jenkins Pipeline?
    • Declarative vs. Scripted Pipelines.
    • Overview of pipeline syntax and structure.
  • Creating Your First Pipeline
    1. Writing a simple Jenkins pipeline script.
    2. Using pipeline blocks: stages, steps, and post.
    3. Using sh, echo, and other commands in the pipeline.
Automating Builds with Jenkins
  1. Configuring Build Jobs
    • Creating and configuring Freestyle and Pipeline Jobs.
    • Setting up a build trigger (e.g., GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab).
    • Setting up build parameters and environment variables.
  2. Integration with Version Control
    • Setting up Jenkins to interact with Git repositories.
    • Configuring SCM (Source Code Management) in Jenkins.
    • Triggering builds on commits and pull requests.
Continuous Integration with Jenkins
  1. Running Unit Tests and Code Analysis
    • Integrating unit tests (JUnit, NUnit) into Jenkins pipelines.
    • Running static code analysis (e.g., SonarQube, Checkstyle).
    • Managing test reports and build artifacts.
  2. Handling Dependencies
    • Managing dependencies in Jenkins jobs (Maven, Gradle, npm, etc.).
    • Caching dependencies for faster builds.
Continuous Delivery/Deployment with Jenkins
  1. Deploying to Various Environments
    • Setting up deployment steps in Jenkins pipelines.
    • Integrating with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and Docker.
    • Continuous Delivery to staging and production environments.
  2. Managing Deployment Strategies
    • Blue/Green Deployment and Canary Releases.
    • Rolling updates and automated rollback.
    • Managing deployment configurations and secrets (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker Swarm).
Jenkins Integration with Other Tools
  1. Integration with Build Tools
    • Configuring Jenkins with build tools like Maven, Gradle, npm, and Ant.
    • Integrating Jenkins with containerization tools like Docker and Kubernetes.
  2. Third-Party Tools and Plugins
    • Integrating Jenkins with JIRA, Slack, and other monitoring tools.
    • Using Jenkins for code quality and artifact management tools (e.g., Nexus, Artifactory).
Capstone Project
  1. Building a Complete CI/CD Solution
    • Work on a real-world project where you’ll set up Jenkins from scratch, implement a full CI/CD pipeline, and deploy applications.
    • Use multiple environments (dev, staging, production) and automate testing and deployment.
