Jenkins Essentials (LFS267)

This course discusses various usability and administrative aspects of Jenkins. Upon course completion, you will have a solid understanding of containerized installation, distributed builds in Kubernetes clusters, advanced security features, multi-branch pipelines, and GitOps with Jenkins concepts.
In this course, you will learn how to set up Jenkins in a Kubernetes cluster, automate Jenkins installation using IaC concepts, set up a highly available Jenkins server, scale Jenkins infrastructure by leveraging static and dynamic build agents, automate various routine Jenkins tasks using CLI and RestAPI, organize Jenkins jobs and implement fine-grained security controls, set up effective CI/CD feedback loops, set up complex multi-branch pipelines simulating real-life scenarios, and automate pull request workflow using GitOps principles.
After completing this course, you will be able to scale a Jenkins CI/CD server using containerized and cloud-based solutions, use Jenkins multi-branch pipelines to enable pipeline creation at the repository level, and use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and GitOps principles with Jenkins. These skills will prepare you for SRE, DevOps, and release engineer roles.
