Course description

This lesson provides an in-depth exploration of Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD), essential practices in modern software development and DevOps workflows. It begins by explaining the significance of CI/CD in ensuring efficient, reliable, and consistent software development and delivery processes. You’ll learn how CI focuses on integrating code changes into a shared repository, triggering automated builds and tests to detect and address issues early in the development cycle. 

The lesson then transitions to Continuous Delivery, where you’ll understand how it builds on CI by automating the deployment process, enabling teams to deliver new features, updates, and bug fixes to production environments swiftly and securely. Concepts like pipeline stages, version control integration, and deployment automation will be covered, along with their role in minimizing manual interventions and reducing deployment risks.

Real-world examples and best practices will demonstrate how CI/CD fosters collaboration between development and operations teams, reduces lead time, and ensures high-quality software releases. By the end of the lesson, you will have a comprehensive understanding of how CI/CD pipelines work, their benefits, and how to implement them effectively to streamline your development workflows and achieve faster, more reliable software delivery.

What will i learn?

  • Understand the CI/CD Concepts and Benefits: You will be able to explain the principles of Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery and how they help improve the software development process by automating build, test, and deployment workflows.
  • Set Up and Configure CI/CD Pipelines: You will learn how to configure and set up CI/CD pipelines using popular tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or AWS CodePipeline, automating code integration and deployment.
  • Integrate CI/CD with Version Control Systems: You will understand how to link version control systems like Git to CI/CD pipelines, ensuring that every change made in the repository is automatically built, tested, and deployed as part of the continuous integration process.

Requirements

  • Basic Understanding of Automation: While not required, familiarity with automation tools or scripting will help in understanding how CI/CD automates repetitive tasks in software development.
