GitLab CI/CD curriculum: 4 modules over 4 days
Module 1 : GitLab CI/CD: Advanced Pipelines and Runner Configuration (variables, stages, .gitlab-ci.yml)
Dive into structuring complex pipelines with parallel jobs, masked variables, and YAML inheritance through practical exercises on GitLab. Configure dedicated or shared GitLab runners, test auto-scaling on AWS or GCP, and analyze logs for quick debugging. Create your first multi-stage pipeline with persistent artifacts, apply conditional trigger rules, and validate enterprise-ready deliverables. This session strengthens your DevOps skills in 7 intensive hours.
Module 2 : GitLab CI/CD: Testing and Security Integration (SonarQube, SAST/DAST, secrets management)
Integrate SonarQube for static code analysis and Trivy for container vulnerabilities directly into your GitLab CI/CD pipelines. Implement automated SAST/DAST scans, manage secrets via GitLab Vault or HashiCorp, and configure quality gates to block risky merges. Practice on real projects with real-time feedback, optimize false positives, and produce compliance reports ready for audits. These practices enhance the security of your professional deployments in 7 hours.
Module 3 : GitLab CI/CD: Kubernetes and Helm Deployment (multi-environments, blue-green, canary)
Deploy containerized applications on Kubernetes via Helm charts in GitLab CI/CD, managing dev/staging/prod with protected environments. Test blue-green and canary strategies for zero-downtime rollouts, integrate ArgoCD for GitOps, and monitor with Prometheus. Perform hands-on exercises on EKS/GKE clusters, automate rollbacks, and generate dynamic manifests via Helmfile. Deliverables: end-to-end pipelines deployable in enterprise after 7 hours of intensive practice.
Module 4 : GitLab CI/CD: Advanced Optimization and Monitoring (cache, performance, Merge Requests)
Optimize build times with Docker caches and shared dependencies in GitLab CI/CD, profile slow jobs via GitLab Insights, and integrate monitoring with Grafana. Automate Merge Request approvals, configure child/child-pipelines for microservices, and scale for 100+ developers. Apply real enterprise cases, measure ROI with precise metrics, and complete a certifying capstone project. Strengthen your DevOps skills in 7 hours for ultra-performant pipelines.
