Cloud-Native Continuous Integration and Delivery

Cloud-native software development requires new ways of building and delivering applications. This course begins with an introduction to cloud-native concepts. It teaches you the skills you need to create a continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) environment for your applications, and deploy them using tools such as Kubernetes and Docker. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to design professional and enterprise-ready CI/CD pipelines.
The course starts with a detailed explanation of CI/CD concepts by performing exercises on cloud services and on-premise applications. You'll learn to create multi-stage builds and tests for Docker and apply best practices for Docker containers. You'll learn how to continuously deliver to the Docker registry. As the course progresses, you'll experiment with cloud services for CI, including building and testing cloud-native microservices. When the course ends, you would have experimented with GitLab CI/CD pipelines for CD, and configured and deployed software to Kubernetes using Helm.

This course delivers its content through hands-on experiments. Throughout the course, you will learn about the required toolset by using on-premise, open source, and hosted cloud solutions. You’ll find checklists, best practices, and critical points mentioned throughout the lessons, making things more interesting.
This course is ideal for professionals who are interested in cloud-native software development. To benefit the most from this course, you must be familiar with developing, building, testing, integrating, and deploying containerized microservices into cloud systems.
