3 DevOps Principles and Version Control 12 20
Foundational concept of DevOps and modern software development, DevOps vs Agile, DevOps Principles and Life Cycle, how
DevOps contrasts with traditional SDLC models by integrating agile methods , continuous integration, and rapid feedback
loops, Git workflows (branching, merging, and remote collaboration), reinforcing best practices, laying the groundwork for
the
continuous integration and deployment pipeline.
4 Continuous Integration and Containerization 10 20

Continuous Deployment, Continuous Integration, Continuous Testing, Continuous Monitoring, Intro to Jenkins, install and
configure Jenkins on a local machine or in a VM (even running Jenkins itself in a container), Intro to Docker, Containerization,
writing Dockerfiles, building images, and running containers on their own machines. Emphasis is on accessible setup-running
Jenkins in a Docker container. Implement an automated CI build pipeline in Jenkins and containerize applications using
Docker.
