Build Automation with Jenkins

Learn the basics of build automation in DevOps

Continuous delivery (CD) is a software engineering approach to automate the delivery of software. It aims at building, testing, and releasing software with greater speed and frequency. The approach helps reduce the cost, time, and risk of delivering changes by allowing for more incremental updates to applications in production. 

Build automation is the process of automating the creation of a software build and the associated processes including compiling computer source code into binary code, packaging binary code, and running automated tests. The build automation process allows DevOps to shorten the system development life cycle.

In this course, students will learn how to install, configure, and integrate Jenkins, Nexus, SonarQube, and Maven in an AWS Environment. They will be able to configure their AWS and GitHub accounts to automate their builds.

At the end of this course, students will have a Pipeline-as-Code running from Jenkins that will integrate with GitHub, Nexus, and SonarQube to automatically build, test, performs static code analysis, validate quality gates and upload artifacts to Nexus.

Course Highlights:

• Introduction and implementation of Continuous Integration
• Configuration Management
• Executing Static Code Analysis Automatically within DevOps Pipelines
• Implementing Code Quality within DevOps Pipelines

Course Benefits:

• Install, configure, and integrate Jenkins, Nexus, SonarQube, GitHub, and Maven using AWS environment and GitHub accounts.
• Experience with Jenkins, Jenkins Plugins, Jenkins View, Upstream Jobs, and Downstream Jobs
• Create Declarative Pipelines to create Pipelines-as-Code and automatically run them from the Jenkins Server.
