Deployment Automation
CSE-41381
Master Real-World DevOps Skills for Modern IT Careers
Build, automate, and deploy with confidence. This hands-on course teaches you industry-standard tools like Jenkins, Terraform, and AWS to streamline deployment pipelines and boost your DevOps expertise.
Deployment Automation is a practice that allows to ship code fully or semi-automatically across several stages of the development process - from initial development right through to production. It contributes to more efficient and reliable deployments.
In this course, you will learn how to install, configure, and integrate Jenkins and Terraform using their own AWS environment and GitHub accounts to provision two complete Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) to support a Blue and Green Deployment method. After each run, the Jenkins Project will have the ability to deploy an application in either Blue or Green Environments.
What You’ll Learn
- Automate Deployments: Use Jenkins and Terraform to build robust, repeatable deployment pipelines.
- Infrastructure as Code: Provision and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS using best practices.
- Blue/Green Deployments: Implement zero-downtime deployment strategies to minimize risk.
- Real-World Projects: Complete hands-on labs and projects that simulate real DevOps environments.
