Implementing a CI/CD Pipeline Training

  • Learn via: Classroom
  • Duration: 3 Days
  • Price: From €3,185+VAT
This class is a hands-on experience in how to create your CI/CD pipeline from start to finish.

Building, testing, and deploying code can be complex and time-consuming. This three-day, instructor-led, hands-on, technical class provides the solution of how to create an automated CI/CD pipeline that builds, tests, and deploys code every time a developer pushes a code change, ensuring only high-quality and approved code gets deployed.

Developers don’t use isolated software tools, so why learn tools in isolation? This course combines the most widely used enterprise technologies into single, integrated, end-to-end pipelines. We’ll teach you git from the ground up so you can securely push code to a remote repository such as Github or Bitbucket. Then we’ll teach you how to configure servers using Ansible from code stored in git. Next, we’ll integrate git and Ansible with Jenkins CI/CD to build, test, and deploy your code into Staging and Production environments, creating an automated end-to-end DevOps pipeline.

If desired, private clients can substitute Bitbucket for Github and/or Chef for Ansible. It is also possible to expand the class duration to include Terraform and/or Docker.

Finally, we’ll create the end-to-end Pipeline using Git, Chef & Jenkins:

Three-day option:

  • Write Chef cookbooks with Inspec tests
  • Push the cookbooks to a branch within a Git repo
  • This push will automatically trigger Jenkins to download the cookbooks
  • Jenkins will then initiate testing the Chef cookbooks using Test Kitchen
  • If any tests fail, Jenkins notifies the developer to fix and repeat the build
  • Once all tests pass, Jenkins can require human approval. Once approved, Jenkins will upload the cookbooks to the Chef Server
  • Jenkins will then trigger Chef-managed webservers (in AWS) to download the cookbooks from the Chef Server and deploy the cookbook code
  • Jenkins will then send notifications over both Slack and email regarding any failures or the successful deployment of the cookbooks

Four-day option adds:

  • Upon successful testing in Test Kitchen, create and save a Docker image
  • Notify teams of successful deployment of Docker containers

Five-day option adds:

  • Write Inspec tests for Terraform configurations
  • Test our Terraform Configuration in Test Kitchen
  • Jenkins will use Terraform to launch Docker Hosts running Docker containers, as well as use Chef to configure those containers to run micro-services
