Module 1: Introduction to Jenkins

• What is Jenkins: Open-source automation server for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD).
• Jenkins Architecture: Master-slave setup, Jenkins nodes, and executors.
• Jenkins UI: Explore the dashboard, job configuration, and build status.

---

Module 2: Jenkins Installation & Setup

• Install Jenkins: Set up Jenkins on different platforms (Linux, Windows, Docker).
• Configuration: Set up global configurations (JDK, Git, etc.) and security (user permissions, authorization).

---

Module 3: Jenkins Jobs & Pipelines

• Freestyle Jobs: Create and configure basic Jenkins jobs.
• Pipeline Jobs: Write declarative and scripted pipelines in Jenkins.
• Job Triggers: Trigger builds manually, via SCM, or on a schedule.

---

Module 4: Jenkins Plugins

• Installing Plugins: Install and configure essential Jenkins plugins (e.g., Git, Docker, Maven, etc.).
• Managing Plugins: Update and manage installed plugins for extended functionality.

---

Module 5: Jenkins Pipeline Scripting

• Declarative Pipelines: Define CI/CD pipelines in a simplified syntax.
• Scripted Pipelines: Write more flexible pipelines using Groovy scripting language.
• Pipeline Stages: Define build, test, and deploy stages within pipelines.

---

Module 6: Jenkins CI/CD Integration

• Version Control Integration: Integrate Jenkins with Git repositories (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket).
• Build Triggers: Automatically trigger builds on code commits or pull requests.
• Continuous Integration: Automate code testing, compilation, and integration.

---

Module 7: Jenkins & Docker Integration

• Docker in Jenkins: Run Jenkins builds in Docker containers for isolated environments.
• Docker Plugins: Use Docker-related plugins to manage Docker images and containers.
• Docker Registry: Push built images to Docker Hub or private registries.

---

Module 8: Jenkins Security & User Management

• User Authentication: Configure user access control, authentication (LDAP, Active Directory).
• Permissions: Set up role-based access control (RBAC) for Jenkins users.
• Pipeline Security: Secure sensitive data in Jenkins pipelines using credentials.

---

Module 9: Jenkins Monitoring & Maintenance

• Job Monitoring: Monitor the status of Jenkins jobs, build logs, and health.
• System Logs: Check Jenkins logs for errors and troubleshoot issues.
• Backup & Recovery: Backup Jenkins configurations and restore them when needed.

---

Module 10: End-to-End Project

1. Step 1: Install Jenkins:
   • Set up Jenkins on a server or Docker container.
2. Step 2: Create a Pipeline Job:
   • Create and configure a basic Jenkins pipeline to automate a sample project.
3. Step 3: Integrate GitHub/Bitbucket:
   • Connect Jenkins with a Git repository to trigger builds on code changes.
4. Step 4: Write Pipeline Script:
   • Define stages for building, testing, and deploying the application.
   • Use both declarative and scripted pipelines.
5. Step 5: Integrate with Docker:
   • Use Docker for isolated build environments and push Docker images to a registry.
6. Step 6: Implement Security:
   • Configure Jenkins security (user permissions, credentials) and pipeline security.
7. Step 7: Set Up Build Triggers:
   • Trigger builds on push events or scheduled intervals (using webhooks, Git hooks).
8. Step 8: Implement Continuous Delivery (CD):
   • Automatically deploy successful builds to staging or production environments.

---

Module 11: Final Project

• Complete CI/CD Pipeline:
  • Automate the entire software delivery process from code commit to deployment.
  • Integrate GitHub, Docker, and Jenkins to build, test, and deploy an application (e.g., Node.js or Python web app).
  • Use Jenkins plugins, such as Docker and Maven, to enhance the pipeline.
  • Ensure security, job monitoring, and system maintenance.
