This course builds skills directly applicable to roles such as DevOps Engineer, CI/CD Engineer, Build and Release Engineer, Platform Engineer, and Software Developer. The ability to design and manage automated pipelines is a core competency in these positions across technology, finance, and enterprise environments.

Module 1 (Version Control with Git) covers cloning and forking repositories, branch creation and merging, remote management, reverting changes, and Cherry-pick.

Module 2 (Continuous Integration with Jenkins) covers Jenkins job configuration for package installation and database backups, parameterized and scheduled builds, Slave Node configuration, project security with RBAC, and a full deploy pipeline.

Module 3 (Advanced Pipelines & Automation) covers conditional pipelines, deployment jobs, chained builds, multistage pipelines, Ansible inventory creation, Ansible Playbook troubleshooting and creation, and copying data to app servers using Ansible.

Most CI/CD courses teach theory or walk you through demos. This course is structured entirely around hands-on practice — you attempt every lab before seeing the solution, then watch a video that deconstructs the expert approach step by step. The integration of Ansible in the final module also goes beyond what most Jenkins-focused courses cover, connecting pipeline automation directly to infrastructure configuration management.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
