This course explores the world of continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD), with a specific focus on GitLab CI/CD. Students will learn what CI/CD is in simple terms, and will compare GitLab to other CI/CD platforms. After a brief overview of the demo app, students will gain an understanding of GitLab architecture and how the GitLab CI/CD pipeline works. This includes: configuration file, running tests, building and pushing images, writing pipeline configuration, and Docker in Docker. Students will also configure, deploy, and validate the demo application, before deleting the server on DigitalOcean. Lastly, learners will delve deeper into the nuances of developing an effective CI/CD pipeline for production deployments.
