Description
This course is neither endorsed by, nor in partnership, nor affiliated with GitLab, Inc.
This course will teach you how to use Gitlab CI for your own projects. You will learn the basics of CI/CD and start building pipelines right from the first lecture.
Some highlights:
- have an overview of the Gitlab architecture
- create a simple pipeline
- learn the CI/CD practice by deploying a simple website
- use Docker images within Gitlab
- learn how to deploy a Java application to AWS, using AWS S3 and AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
This course will NOT make you a GitLab CI / DevOps expert
A lot of courses promise you will become an expert in no time. Becoming an expert in any tool comes with time and hard work. It simply does not make sense to promise something like that. It will not be honest.
This is a course designed for beginners. Learning to build pipelines is a try-and-error process that can be very frustrating. You need to understand the tools you use and how GitLab can support your needs. In the end, GitLab is just a tool.
What I will try is to explain to you the basics and offer you enough practice opportunities so that you can apply what you learn easily in your own projects as well. I will show you how to build pipelines with Gitlab CI.
Who this course is for:
- Software developers learning to build pipelines in order to test & deploy code
- Solutions architects
- Application Architects
- Infrastructure Architects
- IT Operations
