Advanced Jenkins
Introduction
Course Introduction
Welcome to the Advanced Jenkins course. I’m Siddharth Barahalikar, and in this lesson you’ll embark on a deep dive into Jenkins for building scalable, efficient CI/CD pipelines in real-world environments.
Why This Course Matters
Many teams stop at basic Jenkins setups and struggle when projects grow. This course bridges that gap by teaching you how to:
- Architect reusable Jenkins Shared Libraries
- Manage custom agents with Docker and Kubernetes
- Optimize pipeline performance with caching and parallel execution
- Secure, monitor, and back up your Jenkins installation
By the end, you’ll be equipped to implement robust, enterprise-grade CI/CD solutions.
What You’ll Cover
| Module | Topic | Key Takeaways |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Shared Libraries in Jenkins | Design, structure, and maintain reusable pipeline components |
| 2 | Advanced Agent Management | Build custom Docker images and run agents as Kubernetes Pods |
| 3 | Pipeline Enhancement & Caching | Parallel stages, dependency caching, and workflow optimization |
| 4 | Scripted vs. Declarative Pipelines | When to use each style; advanced syntax and best practices |
| 5 | Jenkins Administration & Monitoring | Secure your installation; integrate with Prometheus and Grafana |
| 6 | Backup & Configuration Management | Use Jenkins Configuration as Code (JCasC) and GitHub Actions |
| 7 | KodeKloud Community Engagement | Join forums, ask questions, and share best practices |
If you’re ready to bridge the gap between basic Jenkins knowledge and enterprise CI/CD mastery, enroll now!
