Certified Jenkins Engineer
Introduction and Basics
Course Introduction
Welcome to the Certified Jenkins Engineer course! I'm Siddharth Barahalikar, your instructor for this in-depth Jenkins CI/CD journey.
Jenkins is the leading open-source automation server, powering over one million active installations worldwide. Industry giants like AWS, IBM, and GitHub rely on Jenkins to streamline their software delivery pipelines.
In this hands-on course, you'll progress from foundational concepts to advanced operational strategies. Each module combines clear explanations with practical labs—so you can experiment, troubleshoot, and master Jenkins on real-world projects.
Course Outline
1. Introduction to Jenkins
Understand Source Control Management (SCM), Continuous Integration (CI), and Continuous Deployment (CD) as the core principles of Jenkins automation.
2. Jenkins Architecture & Installation
Explore the master-agent architecture, install Jenkins on various platforms, perform initial configuration, and navigate the user interface.
Note
Ensure you have Java 8+ and Docker installed before starting the labs. These tools are prerequisites for many of our exercises.
3. Plugins Management
Discover, install, and manage Jenkins plugins to extend functionality and tailor Jenkins to your workflow.
Warning
Installing outdated or unverified plugins can pose security risks. Always verify plugin sources and versions.
4. Jenkins Pipelines
Master both Declarative and Scripted pipelines, automate your build-test-deploy workflows, and interact with Jenkins via the CLI and REST API.
5. Continuous Integration & Deployment
Build CI pipelines for Node.js applications, integrate SonarQube for code quality, and deploy containers using Docker and AWS.
6. Kubernetes & GitOps
Implement GitOps workflows with Argo CD and deploy applications on Kubernetes.
7. Administration & Monitoring
Monitor and manage Jenkins with Prometheus metrics and visualize performance dashboards in Grafana.
8. Backup & Configuration Management
Automate Jenkins backup and disaster recovery using the Configuration as Code plugin and orchestrate your configuration pipeline with GitHub Actions.
To ensure you're exam-ready, this course includes mock assessments that mirror the real Jenkins certification test. Practice exams will highlight knowledge gaps and boost your confidence.
