Red Hat DevOps Pipelines and Processes: CI/CD with Jenkins, Git, and Test Driven Development (DO400)

Red Hat Training is proud to announce the release of Red Hat DevOps Pipelines and Processes: CI/CD with Jenkins, Git, and Test Driven Development  (TDD) .... 

DevOps practices enable organizations to undergo a digital transformation, moving from a monolithic waterfall process to a rapidly releasing cloud-based agile approach that is able to nimbly respond to customer and market needs. Establishing an automated pipeline from the developer to production is a critical component of DevOps that reduces time to market, enables faster feedback looks and decreases Mean Time-To-Resolution (MTTR) to resolve defects.  This transformation requires a team of developers trained to use tools that enable them to spend more time coding and less time troubleshooting. 

This course teaches developers how to achieve continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD) through the establishment of a DevOps pipeline. Students will learn how to:

• Use version control with Git.
• Write unit, integration, and functional tests.
• Build and monitor Jenkins pipelines for Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD).
• Implement DevSecOps principles, scan containers, and secure pipelines.

Since I am early in a journey on pipelines, how does the release of this new course based on Jenkins reconcile with the deprication of Jenkins in favor of Tekton in OCP?

[joelbirchler]

We created this course just a little before Tekton was released as GA. And while Red Hat Pipelines (Tekton) and Red Hat GitOps (Argo) are really amazing technologies that we completely plan on adding to future courses, Jenkins is by no means deprecated. It is the current CI industry leader.

I only used the deprecated reference because it was explicitly called out as such in the DO288 Red Hat OpenShift Development II: Containerizing Applications


NOTE

The Jenkins pipeline build strategy is deprecated in OpenShift Container Platform 4. The equivalent functionality is present in the OpenShift Pipelines based on Tekton. Despite of the deprecation, Jenkins images on OpenShift are still fully supported.

Thank you for the clarification and I am glad to hear you intend to add Tekton.
