Architecting CI/CD Pipelines and Automations

This course covers what attendees need to design successful CI / CD pipelines using a variety of popular platforms including GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, and Jenkins. Students will write a variety of code including Python and Ansible scripting, that will trigger a variety of automated behaviors upon git commits and pull (or merge) requests. Some of the triggered DevOps automations include testing, running scripts, building and releasing containerized services. DevSecOps paradigms include running security apps such as password and token detection, as well as other popular DAST and SAST tools.
