Categories: Jenkins CI CI/CD Deployment DevOps Ops
Course Length: 3 Days

Originally started off as Hudson, Jenkins is the standard for Continuous Integration. Jenkins is still very popular due to the amount of plugins. Jenkins has certainly changed over the years, where as pipelines were once created in the UI of Jenkins, it is now mostly done as a groovy-based description file called Jenkinsfile which is committed to version control.
