This course emphasises practical implementation and tooling. It assumes a solid grasp of theoretical principles (see the DEVOPS course), as it focuses on the latest tools and methods for implementing DevOps principles.

This instructor-led, live training in New Zealand (available online or on-site) is designed for DevOps engineers who wish to optimise and streamline their CI/CD workflows using Docker and Jenkins.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Automate code delivery and pipeline deployment using Jenkins.
• Build applications with Docker and Dockerfiles.
• Configure authentication options to enhance security.

This instructor-led, live training in New Zealand covers the concepts, tools, and techniques required to implement continuous integration for software projects within an Agile environment. Participants will complete a series of hands-on exercises throughout the course to apply their learning in real-world scenarios. Active interaction between the instructor and participants is encouraged. Real-life case studies are examined, and specific issues and questions are addressed and resolved during class.

This instructor-led, live training in New Zealand (delivered either online or on-site) is designed for engineers who wish to leverage Jenkins 2 to build pipelines that automate the process of moving an application from development to production.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Jenkins 2.
• Adopt a script-based approach to automate every stage of the software deployment process.
• Automatically generate application builds when code is committed to a version control system.
• Automatically initiate the compiling, testing, and packaging of a software application.
• Respond swiftly to notifications and reports when issues arise.
• Install additional plugins to extend Jenkins' capabilities.

This instructor-led, live training in New Zealand (online or onsite) covers advanced Jenkins configurations, security, and scaling techniques, and is aimed at DevOps engineers and software architects who wish to gain expertise in customising Jenkins for complex software projects.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Optimise Jenkins for enterprise-level software projects.
• Implement advanced security measures.
• Build complex and scalable pipelines.
• Troubleshoot and maintain Jenkins installations effectively.

When developers complete a piece of code, they often manually integrate it into an application, copy the application to a folder, run the installer, and then launch the application to verify that it behaves as expected. This manual method does not scale well, is tedious, highly prone to errors, and lacks any mechanism for tracking changes throughout the process.

A more effective approach is to automate these activities using Continuous Integration. Continuous Integration refers to the processes, tools, and infrastructure required to automate the building, deployment, and testing of software applications.

In this instructor-led, live training (available onsite or remotely), participants will learn how to transition from a traditional, manual (or semi-manual) software deployment approach to an agile, Continuous Integration (CI) model using Jenkins. Throughout the course, participants will complete a series of hands-on, live-lab exercises, applying their new knowledge to real-world software development and deployment challenges at every stage. Interaction between the instructor and participants is actively encouraged. Real-world scenarios will be discussed, and specific issues and questions will be addressed and resolved during the training. The content is particularly focused on .Net application development.
 
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Jenkins for .Net application development
• Use Jenkins to automate the process of checking in and merging .Net source code into a code repository
• Use Jenkins to automate the process of downloading, compiling, and deploying an application to a release server
• Integrate Jenkins with other software development tools such as issue trackers and

Audience

• .Net developers
• Build engineers
• QA engineers
• Project managers
• Release managers
• DevOps engineers
