Here is a step-by-step tutorial on setting up a Jenkins CI/CD pipeline to automate the creation, testing, and distribution of your apps. Also, we'll connect it with GitLab so that code pushes will start automatic builds. We will also show how using VS Code and this CI/CD pipeline enables more rapid and dependable software delivery. Prerequisites: Jenkins installed and set up on your server or local machine. GitLab repository with your application's source code. A sample application (e.g., a simple web app) that you want to deploy using this CI/CD pipeline. VS Code installed on your development machine.
Automation in DevOps involves the use of various tools and technologies to replace manual and repetitive tasks with automated processes. This includes continuous integration, continuous delivery, infrastructure provisioning, testing, monitoring, and more. By automating these tasks, development teams can focus on building features and functionality while operations teams can concentrate on managing and maintaining the infrastructure.
