DevOps is the new buzz in the IT Industry. Companies that have adopted DevOps are more reliable as their continuous delivery adds value to the business besides cutting down on failure/timely costs. Jenkins is the leading CI solution that is extremely flexible and powerful. As a Continuous Integration/Build solution, Jenkins helps in cutting down costs by enabling teams to automate their build and release processes. As a Jenkins Developer, you will have a head start into getting into the DevOps domain and thus contribute directly to your organization's bottom line.

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

Understand the Continuous Integration/Delivery concepts and Build Pipelines Configure and build basic Tools/Plugins Use Jenkins to set up Build Pipelines Perform Unit and Integration testing with Jenkins Administer Jenkins by performing Backups/Restores Understand the Master/Slave Topologies Build and deploy simple applications to Tomcat 7 containers

The pre-requisites for this course include Intermediate scripting knowledge and of basic testing frameworks like JUnit or TestNG. Knowledge of Maven/Ant is beneficial but not mandatory. Some awareness of Server topologies and Release management is recommended, but not mandatory.
