Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD) Fundamentals

Are you struggling with slow, manual software releases? Modern software delivery demands speed, consistency, and reliability, all achieved through effective automation. This course provides the foundational knowledge of Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) necessary to build professional, automated deployment pipelines, minimize risks, and collaborate effectively in a team environment. What you'll learn: * Understand the core concepts of CI/CD, DevOps, and industrial software development principles. * Master essential Git commands and branching strategies for collaborative team development. * Configure automated pipelines to build, test, and verify application code upon every change. * Apply deployment strategies like blue/green or canary releases to minimize risk during production updates. * Practice integrating containerization fundamentals into your deployment workflow for environmental consistency. * Grasp the principles of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and pipeline security best practices. We begin by defining the modern software development lifecycle and foundational Git practices. We then move step-by-step through designing, building, and securing automated CI/CD pipelines, concluding with advanced deployment patterns used in professional settings. This course is designed for absolute beginners in software development, operations, or quality assurance. No prior experience with DevOps tools or CI/CD systems is required.
