About the DevOps CI/CD Program
In this digital era, software has become an integral part of any business transaction and internal operation. To keep up with the competition and retain customers, organizations had to shorten software delivery, improve software quality and security. As a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops), DevOps has proven to help organizations accelerate application delivery, reliability, and security by adopting a set of methodologies and tools to streamline the development cycle.
The specialized certificate in DevOps CI/CD aims to train participants with the skills to implement and integrate the tools to build a complete DevOps infrastructure and pipeline environment. Students will learn techniques widely applicable to projects in the industry, processes, and tools to achieve continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) by connecting and automating all phases of software delivery. They will obtain hands-on experience with Jenkins Pipelines creation, Jenkins integration with integration and delivery tools including Maven, GitHub, SonarQube, Nexus, JMeter, Packer and Terraform.
Learning Objectives:
- Obtain strong understanding of Continuous Delivery Process, Techniques, CI/CD Tools, and their applications.
- Gain the ability to manage source code, build scripts to the environment, and configure an application to build, deploy, test, and release applications.
- Have the capability to automated tests against every change made to the application.
- Obtain experience with configuration, automation, and the implementation of infrastructure automation (Infrastructure as Code) with Terraform and Packer in the AWS Cloud.
- Understand the importance of acceptance tests to continuous delivery, and create a cost-effective acceptance test suite.
- Have the ability to set up the acceptance, capacity tests, and manual tests within the Pipelines and configure them to run on their own environments.
