A principle of DevOps is to replace manual processes with automation to improve efficiency, reduce human error, and accelerate software delivery. This requires automation that continuously integrates code changes and continuously delivers those changes to a production environment.
This course introduces you to Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD), an automated approach to software development. You’ll discover the benefits of CI/CD for creating a DevOps pipeline and explore popular CI/CD tools. You’ll examine the key features of CI, explore social coding, and the Git Feature Branch Workflow. You will also learn about standard CI tools and gain a deep understanding of GitHub Actions workflows and their components. This course provides an overview of CD and its goals, benefits, and best practices. You will learn the requirements of a CI/CD pipeline and discover standard CD tools. You will explore Tekton and discover how its components work together to create a CD pipeline. You will learn how to build a pipeline, pass parameters to a pipeline, build triggers to start pipeline runs, implement reusable tasks, and create custom tasks. You will discover how to complete your CD pipeline by building a container image and deploying your application to an OpenShift Kubernetes cluster. Throughout the course, you can hone your skills and challenge yourself through several hands-on labs.

One of the best CI/CD courses I've seen that includes #tekton as a native k8s CD. This course would be perfect if ArgoCD (GitOps) was included
NB
Amazing Course, would recommend to everyone who is eager to learn about CI/CD integration. Super helpful super fun super easy. Thank you IBM !

in my idea, it would be better to continue using Git
BT
Big thanks for your efforts. It was amazing course and rich in valuable info
ER
It was amazing, very clear explanations and very insightful practices. It was advanced enough for already experienced professionals who want to expand their knowledge, which is just what I needed.
SS
Thanks for this awesome course. Learned a lot about CI/CD, how to make pipelines etc.
SG
Good explanations and labs that give some practice
Showing: 20 of 62
pipeline version not up to date, so couldn't complete half of the hands-on labs
Missing “How’s” Part. Mostly Theories like Benefits, Best practices etc
This course provides very clear introduction regarding CI/CD conceptions and also provides many opportunities for hands-on labs.
Some labs actually requires basic knowledge regarding key tools like kubernetes, git, and Tekton. You'd better attend related courses in advance or check those online documents.
The Labs need some update
This course provides an excellent introduction to CI/CD principles and practices. The content is well-structured, with clear explanations and practical examples that help solidify the concepts. The hands-on projects are especially valuable, offering real-world scenarios to practice implementing CI/CD pipelines. The instructors are knowledgeable, and the delivery is engaging. I also appreciated the detailed explanations of tools like Jenkins, Docker, and Kubernetes. It’s a must-take for anyone looking to enhance their DevOps skills. Highly recommended!
Thanks to John Rofrano and the team, this course was enlightening. I learned the fundamentals of Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery and gained hands-on experience with various CI/CD tools and frameworks. I am now ready to use this knowledge in my work.
Recommending the course to all those who want to learn (or just reinforce) the basics of CI/CD along with a couple of very useful tools like GitHub Actions and Tekton. Thanks John Rofrano for the course!
