Complete CI/CD Course

with Docker | Kubernetes | Microservices

Learn how to build production-ready CI/CD pipelines in one comprehensive and practical course!

Become a CI/CD Pro — Build real DevOps Pipelines

GitLab CI/CD is one of the most popular CI/CD platforms! More and more companies are adopting it. So, the need for Developers or DevOps engineers, who know how to build complete CI/CD pipelines on GitLab is increasing

So, you'll have built several CI/CD pipelines with real life examples & best practices!

While many GitLab courses teach you only the basics, we will dive into more advanced demos, like implementing dynamic versioning, using cache to speed up the pipeline execution or deploying to a K8s cluster.

As usual you can expect complex topics explained in a simple way, animations to help you understand the concepts better and lots of hands-on demos!

By the end of this course, you'll be able to
