Curriculum
Introduction
This introductory section provides a foundational overview of Jenkins, setting the stage for the comprehensive learning journey ahead. The "Introduction" lecture covers the course's objectives and what you can expect to achieve.
Jenkins Architecture
Understand the inner workings of Jenkins with a detailed explanation of its distributed architecture, specifically focusing on the master-slave configuration. This section provides a critical understanding of how Jenkins functions efficiently in large-scale environments.
Jenkins Setup
Learn how to set up Jenkins in two primary ways: installing as a Docker container using docker-compose.yml for ease of deployment and flexibility, and installing it directly onto your local machine or server using Tomcat for more customized control. These lectures provide hands-on experience with both common deployment methods.
Setup Jenkins Agent
This section focuses on configuring Jenkins agents. Learn how to set up a standard Jenkins agent and how to configure Docker as a Jenkins agent, expanding the capabilities and flexibility of your Jenkins environment. This allows for environment-specific builds and tasks.
Jenkins Elastic Agent using AWS ECS service - Fargate
Scale your Jenkins infrastructure using AWS Fargate and Elastic Agents. This section covers setting up your ECS cluster, configuring Jenkins on AWS EC2 and using ECS plugins, setting up IAM roles for secure access, and finally configuring and running simple jobs using Elastic Agents. This shows real-world scalability techniques.
Create your first Jenkins Job : Freestyle
Begin building your first Jenkins job using the Freestyle project type. This section offers an introductory hands-on experience with core Jenkins job creation, providing a foundational step toward more advanced pipeline configurations.
Credentials Setup Jenkins
This section demonstrates setting up API tokens as credentials within Jenkins, vital for secure and automated access to various resources during your build and deployment processes.
Manage Plugins
Learn how to manage Jenkins plugins: installation, updates, and deletion. You will also learn about Jenkins Configuration History, enabling you to track and manage changes to your Jenkins setup over time.
Integration with tools
Integrate Jenkins with Git for version control, ANT and JDK for build processes, and Maven for project management, mastering the connection between Jenkins and these key development tools.
Building your project with Jenkins (ANT)
Learn to build Java projects using ANT, a popular build tool, within the Jenkins environment. This section also demonstrates integrating JUnit testing and displaying results directly within Jenkins.
Building your project with Jenkins (Maven)
Build Java projects utilizing Maven, another prominent build tool, within your Jenkins workflows. This section focuses on the effective integration of Maven into your CI/CD process.
Building your project with Jenkins (Gradle)
Integrate Gradle, a flexible build automation system, into your Jenkins jobs. This section provides hands-on experience using Gradle within a Jenkins pipeline.
Environment Variables In Jenkins
Learn how to effectively utilize environment variables within Jenkins jobs, enabling dynamic configuration and control throughout your build and deployment processes.
Storing Artifacts in Jenkins job
Master the essential technique of storing build artifacts within your Jenkins jobs, ensuring efficient management of build outputs and facilitating easy access for subsequent processes.
Jenkins Security
Secure your Jenkins instance by setting up users, managing access control using matrix-based security and role-based authorization strategies, creating project-specific folders, and integrating with Active Directory for advanced user management. This section is crucial for maintaining the security of your CI/CD pipeline.
Introduction to IAC pipelines
Explore the world of Infrastructure as Code pipelines with Jenkins. Learn about both declarative and scripted pipelines using Jenkins, opening up possibilities for automated infrastructure management.
Jenkins : Sample Java Project using groovy Pipeline
Build a complete Java project using a Groovy pipeline, integrating Maven and various stages to demonstrate a robust and automated build and deployment workflow.
Deploy Java Application to Application Server(Apache Tomcat) using pipeline
Learn how to deploy a Java application to Apache Tomcat using a Groovy pipeline in Jenkins, demonstrating a full CI/CD process for application deployment.
Multi Branch Pipeline Job
Master Multi-branch pipeline jobs in Jenkins. This section covers setting up and managing jobs that automatically build and deploy code from various branches in your version control system.
