Continuous Integration and Delivery with Kubernetes

In modern software development, delivering features quickly and reliably requires robust automation. This course guides you through building efficient continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines specifically tailored for containerized environments. You will transition from manual deployments to fully automated workflows that scale seamlessly. By completing this text-only program, you will understand how to coordinate code changes from a commit all the way to a running Kubernetes cluster. You will learn to configure pipelines that build container images, run automated tests, and update cluster resources safely and predictably. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles of CI/CD and how Kubernetes orchestrates containerized workloads - Configure automated build pipelines to package applications into secure container images - Implement GitOps workflows to manage cluster states using declarative configuration files - Design safe deployment strategies like rolling updates and blue-green deployments - Apply basic secret management and security scanning within your delivery pipeline - Monitor deployment health and configure basic rollback mechanisms for failed releases We start with the foundational concepts of containerization and the role of orchestration in modern DevOps. Next, you will explore the step-by-step mechanics of pipeline automation, integration testing, and continuous deployment strategies directly to your cluster, utilizing modern industry-standard tools. This course is designed for beginner DevOps enthusiasts, software developers, and system administrators looking to automate their deployment workflows. No prior Kubernetes experience is required, though a basic familiarity with command-line interfaces is helpful.
