In this intermediate level course, you will learn to build, test, and deploy applications, end-to-end, using CircleCI.

 

Welcome to the Build → Test → Deploy Course

In this course, we cover concepts regarding Build → Test → Deploy scenarios using a variety of frameworks, tools and languages. 

Who should take this course?

This course is designed for CircleCI developers using the cloud hosted solution. You should be familiar with managing source code in a VCS such as GitHub or Bitbucket; have a working knowledge of editing YAML files, and experience using command line utilities to automate builds and deploys for the technology stack at your organization. This is intermediate level course.* We will be adding lessons and scenarios over time to this course, featuring both our old and new user interfaces (UIs).

Concepts covered: 

  • VCS integration
  • Automated testing framework
  • Workflows
  • Code-based configuration
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

 

*If you are just starting out with CircleCI, you may consider completing our Associate Developer Training course, prior to starting this course.

 

 

Scenarios:

In this lesson, you will take a quick trip through CircleCI as one of our Solutions Engineers builds, tests and deploys changes to a Python Flask application running in Heroku. Concepts covered: 

  • Workflows
  • VCS platforms integration
  • Automatic testing framework
  • Code-based configuration approach

This lesson is presented featuring the CircleCI old user interface (UI). Stay tuned for an update to this lesson using our new redesigned UI.

Infrastructure as Code

 

Gain a basic understanding of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and how it can enable you to scale, version, and audit infrastructure resources.

DevOps adoption usually includes an evolution of processes and tool chains that enable these teams to function optimally. Modern day computing and infrastructure management is definitely shifting away from “ClickOps” management and adopting the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) way of doing business. IaC enables teams to easily define, deploy and maintain compute infrastructures in the form of code. It also provides the ability to effortlessly scale, version and audit infrastructure resources.

In this session, you'll be introduced to the core principles of IaC and have the opportunity to reinforce what you've learned featuring industry known tools such as Terraform and Pulumi. CircleCI Developer Advocate Angel Rivera leads this course. He will demonstrate along the way how to specify, deploy and destroy a Kubernetes cluster via code. 

 

Infrastructure as Code – Prerequisites

Course SCORM: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y6RM7WEI-CzhC3cfms13EJZpe6O0ibNG/view?usp=share_link

In this section, we feature a series of eight lessons covering Infrastructure as Code (IaC). IaC enables organizations to create, manage, and destroy compute resources using modern DevOps tools by statically defining and declaring these resources in code. We review IaC from a high level, then get into specifics on how to use HashiCorp’s Terraform to provision, deploy, and destroy infrastructure resources. This training was developed in conjunction with a CircleCI blog post tutorial series that you might find useful as a preview.

For the first lesson, we cover the installation of tools and cloud services necessary to follow this training, namely:

  • Terraform CLI
  • Terraform Cloud Account
  • Google Cloud SDK CLI
  • Google Cloud Platform
  • Docker
  • Docker Hub Account
  • CircleCI Account
  • GitHub Account
  • Learn laC Code Repo
