Page 1: The New Reality of Software Delivery

The Era of Continuous Everything

In today’s fast-paced digital world, software delivery is defined by speed, reliability, and frequency. The days of quarterly releases are long gone; success now hinges on Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CD). At the heart of this revolution—the powerhouse that automates the journey of code from commit to customer—is Jenkins.

Jenkins isn’t just a tool; it’s the open-source automation engine that powers the world’s most complex DevOps pipelines. However, simply using Jenkins is not enough. Organizations need professionals who can not only set up basic jobs but can architect, secure, scale, and maintain massive, resilient CI/CD ecosystems.

This is precisely why achieving the Certified Jenkins Engineer (CJE) certification is the crucial next step for any serious DevOps, automation, or software professional. It moves you from a Jenkins user to a Jenkins master, validating the deep, hands-on expertise required to manage the tool at an enterprise level.

Why Jenkins Expertise is Non-Negotiable

As the landscape evolves to include DevSecOps and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), the central CI/CD engine remains essential. DevOps asks what needs to be done (automation); Jenkins is the core tool that executes the how.

The Certified Jenkins Engineer (CJE) program offered by DevOpsSchool is meticulously designed to instill this deep, practical knowledge, ensuring participants can seamlessly integrate Jenkins with other critical tools across the entire SDLC.

A Focus on Real-World, Hands-On Skills

DevOpsSchool’s CJE training program is not theoretical; it is an intensive, practical course spanning 12-15 hours of instructor-led, live, and interactive sessions. The core objective is to ensure you gain the hands-on experience necessary to deploy and manage production-grade Jenkins environments. The program includes the application of concepts through 5 real-time scenario-based projects.

Comprehensive Agenda: From Basic Jobs to Advanced Administration

The CJE curriculum provides a 360-degree view of Jenkins, covering everything from foundational concepts to advanced administration and Pipeline-as-Code.

1. Foundational CI/CD and Jenkins Setup

• Understanding CI/CD: What are Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, and Continuous Deployment? A comparative analysis of tools (Jenkins vs. TeamCity vs. Bamboo).
• Jenkins Installation: Practical installation methods (Yum, Apt, MSI, Tomcat) and service management.
• Dashboard Mastery: A deep dive into the Jenkins Dashboard, including Freestyle Projects, Source Code Management (SCM) tabs, Build Triggers, and Post-build Actions.

2. Job Configuration and Scheduling

• Creating Jobs: Setting up jobs for various application types (Java/Maven, Java/Ant, DOTNET/MSBuild, C++).
• Scheduling: Implementing various build triggers: fixed schedule, script triggers, and SCM push-based triggers (Git).
• Advanced Job Features: Understanding parameterized builds, concurrent builds, job executors, and the Build Pipeline concept.

3. Plugins, Nodes, and High Availability (HA)

• Plugin Ecosystem: The lifeblood of Jenkins. How to install, configure, update, and utilize the Top 20 Useful Jenkins Plugins.
• Jenkins Node Management: Architecting scalable infrastructure by adding and managing Linux and Windows Slave Nodes (Agents).
• High Availability (HA): Strategies for ensuring Jenkins master resilience and continuous operation.

4. Tool Integration and Reporting

A core skill of the Certified Jenkins Engineer (CJE) is orchestrating tools. The course covers deep integration with the DevOps toolchain:

• Source Control: Git integration for SCM management.
• Code Quality: Integration with SonarQube and Coverity.
• Artifacts & Build: Integration with Maven, Gradle.
• Testing: Integrating Junit, Selenium, and Cucumber for automated testing and reporting.
• Infrastructure: Integration with Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, and Terraform to enable Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) deployment via pipelines.

5. Jenkins Advance: Security and Pipeline-as-Code

• Jenkins Security: Implementing robust security measures, including user Authorization and Authentication, managing credentials, and access control.
• Jenkins Programming & API: Utilizing the Jenkins API for automation and extension.
• Deep Dive into Jenkins Pipeline: Mastering Pipeline-as-Code using Groovy, including Multi-configuration Projects, Multibranch Pipelines, and the modern Blue Ocean UI. This is where you transition from a GUI user to an automation architect.
