This course is meticulously crafted for DevOps engineers, Quality Assurance professionals, Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), as well as software developers and architects eager to enhance their proficiency in Jenkins CI/CD. Prior to enrolling, students are expected to possess a foundational understanding of Jenkins and be acquainted with Kubernetes and Docker.
Prerequisites
Prior to enrolling in this course, it’s beneficial to have a foundational understanding of the following:
● Basic knowledge of Jenkins. We recommend completing the free course Introduction to Jenkins (LFS167).
● Fundamental understanding of Kubernetes concepts, including pods, namespaces, volumes, and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). We recommend the Introduction to Kubernetes (LFS158) course.
● Basic comprehension of building and utilizing Docker images.
Lab Info
The lab exercises in this course are crafted to function seamlessly on native hardware or virtual machines (VMs) within a hypervisor environment, such as those offered by the KVM, VMWare, or Virtual Box families. Detailed instructions for setting up your lab environment will be provided within the course materials.
