Kubernetes Cluster Creation and CI/CD with Jenkins X

Modern software development demands fast, automated, and reliable deployment pipelines. Transitioning to cloud-native architectures can be complex, but Jenkins X simplifies the process by automating continuous integration and continuous delivery directly on Kubernetes. This text-based course guides you from the absolute basics of container orchestration to launching your own automated development environment, helping you build the confidence to select the right Kubernetes environment, configure Jenkins X, and establish automated workflows. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational Kubernetes and Jenkins X architecture and terminology. - Evaluate different Kubernetes environments and flavors to choose the right setup for your needs. - Install and configure Jenkins X to automate cluster management and application deployment. - Create quickstart projects with built-in continuous integration and continuous delivery. - Apply modern GitOps principles to manage cluster states and application updates through version control. - Configure secure secret management and basic container registry integrations for production-ready pipelines. You will start by exploring core cloud-native concepts and terminology before moving step-by-step through cluster provisioning, tool installation, and pipeline automation. Through clear written explanations and structured configuration examples, you will learn how to manage the lifecycle of your deployments. This course is designed for software developers, system administrators, and DevOps beginners who want to learn automated cluster management without needing prior Kubernetes experience.
