Hands-On Continuous Integration and Delivery with Jenkins X and Kubernetes

Build and deliver modern cloud applications—fast!

Learn

Install and configure Jenkins X in a cloud environment with Google Cloud Platform
Build an application with Jenkins X, or import an existing application so you can get started quickly
Control how Jenkins X builds and deploys your applications so you can create the build and test pipeline that works for you
Build preview environments so you can test the latest software changes in your application before you promote it to production
Managing application updates (including manual promotion, rolling updates, and pull requests) so you can accelerate the delivery of your application

About

Jenkins X is an exciting and fast way to build applications on Kubernetes. Jenkins X handles the job of configuring Kubernetes to build, test, and deploy your applications, so you can focus on fast delivery and make your applications great!

Kubernetes is powerful but complicated; using it not only to run your application but also to build and test it requires a lot of configuration. Jenkins X provides automation for Kubernetes so you can use it to its full potential without spending all of your time configuring and debugging.

This course adopts a step-by-step approach to show you how to use Jenkins X, with plenty of hands-on examples that you can use for your own applications. You'll start with a simple example application deployed to Kubernetes using Jenkins X, then build up to awesome features such as preview environments, promotion, and monitoring. With this course, you can learn Jenkins X fast, and immediately apply what you've learned.
