Automated CI Pipelines with Docker and Jenkins

Modern software development demands speed and reliability, yet manual build processes often lead to configuration errors and deployment delays. Automating your build and test workflows is the key to delivering high-quality applications consistently. This course guides you through the essentials of setting up a fully automated Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline. You will transition from manual workflows to modern DevOps practices, learning how to containerize your applications and orchestrate automated builds. By understanding how these tools interact, you will be able to eliminate the "it works on my machine" problem entirely. What you'll learn: - Understand the foundational concepts of continuous integration, containerization, and pipeline automation. - Write efficient Dockerfiles using modern multi-stage builds to create optimized, secure images. - Create declarative Jenkinsfiles to define your entire build pipeline-as-code. - Configure Jenkins to automatically build, test, and package applications whenever code changes. - Manage build dependencies cleanly by isolating your build environments inside Docker containers. - Apply modern pipeline practices, including basic syntax linting and troubleshooting techniques. This course begins with essential terminology, core concepts, and installation basics before moving into practical pipeline construction. Through clear written explanations and structured configuration examples, you will follow a logical progression from single container builds to a fully integrated automated pipeline. This course is designed for software developers, system administrators, and aspiring DevOps professionals who are completely new to CI/CD. No prior experience with Docker or Jenkins is required.
