Great software is not just created; it is tested, measured, and delivered using automation. This course will introduce you to the world of Continuous Inspection and Configuration Management, where Jenkins and Ansible work together to simplify builds, improve code, and manage infrastructure like never before.

You'll begin with the fundamentals of Code Quality, including techniques to increase standards, assess code coverage, and implement static analysis with tools like SonarQube. Learn how Jenkins automates build processes using Gradle, Ant, and shell scripts, allowing you to provide consistent and reliable software with each commit. Then, use Ansible to focus on Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Understand Inventory files, Playbooks, modular architecture, and then integrate Ansible directly into Jenkins to create powerful, end-to-end CI/CD pipelines. A complete demo will lead you through building a real-world pipeline with Jenkins and Ansible. By the end of this Jenkins course, you will not only understand the tools but also be able to create automated, production-grade pipelines that ensure code quality and delivery speed. Enroll today to bring your DevOps workflow to life—efficient, automated, and future-ready.

Module details

This module covers enhancing code quality with Jenkins, like SonarQube integration, and Jenkins' support for build tools like Gradle and Ant. By the end, you will be proficient in configuring Jenkins for Ansible and creating efficient CI/CD pipelines.
