Project Overview

In this 1-hour long project-based course on Jenkins, you will install and configure a fresh Jenkins instance in Windows. The focus in this course is less about Jenkins pipelines and scripting in jenkins, and more about configuring Jenkins for use in a real team environment. You will set up authorisation with multiple teams across Dev, Test, and Staging environments, and restrict access to different users respectively. You will also learn how to set up scheduled jobs using the CRON format, and remote builds which can kickstart builds in Jenkins from anywhere. You will also set up notifications to email for failed builds as a postbuild step. This course is designed for any person working or who intends to work with Jenkins, or just become more familiar with DevOps tools, from system administrators to developers and DevOps practitioners and developers. This is a Beginner level course and is designed for an individual who has a base foundation of either computer programming in at least one language.
