Continuous Integration Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CICD) is a very important part of modern-day software release processes. As a matter of fact, you can not survive as a DevOps Engineer without a good understanding of CICD.

This course is designed for web developers and beginner DevOps engineers who want to learn how to deploy a Django application to production, using the best practices of Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment/Delivery (CICD).

The course covers the use of Git, GitLab, Jenkins and Docker, to build and deploy a full-fledged Django application. and to create a fully functional CICD pipeline.

By the end of this course, you will have learned

how to deploy a Django application to production and to any other environment,
How to redeploy the same application using deploy scripts, and how to design a functional CICD pipeline with Gitlab and Jenkins and later with GitLab CI.
How to collaborate on projects using GitLab. This a must-have skill if you want to work in an organization that has multiple developers, working on a project.
How to dockerize Django development environments.
How to create and configure virtual machines on your personal computers, so you will be able to practice without the fear of being charged by a cloud service provider.
And more.

Everything we'll do will be hands-on and straight to the point.

If you are seeking a job as a Developer or a DevOps Engineer without any professional experience yet, this course is a must for you because, by the end of it, you will have moved from zero experience to at least a year of experience with the tools taught in the course.
