Building Serverless Applications with Jenkins X and Knative

Modern cloud development requires fast delivery pipelines and efficient resource utilization. This text-based course guides you through the foundational concepts of serverless architecture, showing you how to build and deploy auto-scaling applications without managing complex infrastructure. You will start with the core definitions of serverless computing and container orchestration before moving into hands-on configuration. By reading through clear explanations and structured configuration examples, you will understand how to automate your deployment pipelines and optimize cloud resources. You will also learn to implement modern observability practices to monitor your serverless deployments effectively. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles of serverless architecture and containerized deployments - Configure Jenkins X pipelines to automate the build and release process - Deploy auto-scaling, scale-to-zero applications using Knative Serving - Manage event-driven architectures with Knative Eventing concepts - Apply modern observability and logging practices to monitor application health - Structure cloud-native projects using declarative Kubernetes configurations The course begins with essential terminology and setup fundamentals, then guides you step-by-step through pipeline integration, deployment strategies, and real-world scaling scenarios. This course is designed for software developers, system administrators, and DevOps beginners who want to learn modern cloud-native deployment workflows. No prior experience with Jenkins X or Knative is required, though a basic familiarity with command-line interfaces is helpful.
