Setting up CI/CD Pipelines

Audience:

Attendees will learn how CI/CD pipelines can increase IT velocity (from Dev to Ops), increase code quality and lower risk; and will learn how to implement CI/CD pipelines in two popular tools, Jenkins and GitLab CI.

Who should attend: 

Infrastructure engineers, system administrators, or DevOps engineers familiar with Git who have to set up or support CI/CD pipelines.

Take back to work:

Familiarity with CI/CD concepts; ability to implement CI/CD pipelines using popular tools such as Jenkins and GitLab CI.

Topics include: 
1. Introduction and orientation
Origin of Continuous Integration (CI)
Widespread adoption; how CI relates to DevOps
Basic tasks: Build, Test, Deploy
 
2. GitLab CI
Architecture: GitLab, GitLab CI Multi Runner, ephemeral test environments
Definitions: pipeline, stage, job, build, runner, environment, artifact, cache
Setting up runners: adding job runners; host instance types (shell, Docker, ssh, etc.); runner/job tags
Building, Testing, and Deploying (with hands-on lab)
Troubleshooting: build logs; enabling verbose builds; increasing "loglevel"; interactive access to containers
 
3. Jenkins
Overview and Architecture
Definition of Key Terms
Building, Testing and Deploying (with hands-on lab)
Checking Pipeline status with Jenkins Blue Ocean UI
Troubleshooting
