Description

From the author of Get into DevOps, the learning blog trusted by over 19,000 DevOps professionals every month:

Learn how to build a Continuous Integration pipeline for your application. Welcome to Best Practices for Docker with Jenkins.

This course is your turn-key solution to using Docker with Jenkins. Through practical demos and tutorials, you will learn how to build Dockerfiles and Jenkinsfiles, and how to configure Jenkins to build Docker images automatically with a Continuous Integration pipeline.

If you haven't used Docker or Jenkins before, don't worry - we will cover the fundamentals of both of them from the ground up, so you don’t need prior knowledge on either. This course will also teach you more advanced topics like how to use Docker to simplify Jenkins dependency management while building more traditional software artefacts like JAR files.

Throughout the years I have had to learn many quirks and gotchas of Docker and Jenkins through trial and error. I’ve collected my knowledge on this course so you don’t have to.

Did you know that DevOps is one of the most sought-after set of skills in the job market right now, with tens of thousands of open roles globally. According to PayScale, the median DevOps salary in the U.S. is $93,770 per year. The best DevOps specialists on the market can name their price, and often earn more than $200,000 in a year. The best time to start learning DevOps was 5 years ago - the second best time is now!
