Our take

Based on the ratings of 587 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in January 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a Jenkins course first and a Kubernetes course second. It runs 6.7 hours across 56 lectures and 12 sections, starting with scripted and declarative pipelines, then adding SonarQube, Ansible, Docker with Tomcat, master and agent nodes, credentials, a shared library and Terraform deployments. The newest section covers a GitOps flow with Argo CD on AWS EKS, and the course was last updated in January 2026. The syllabus has no quizzes or coding exercises, so it is watch and follow. It suits people who already know their way around Jenkins.

Reviewers like the step-by-step demos and say the workflow feels like a real project. Of 587 ratings, 476 are four or five stars. The complaints are consistent, though. Hari Kammana's accent and pacing lose some students, and one says terms needed explaining before the practical work. Others mention that Docker and Ansible examples repeat, a few lessons are out of order, tool versions look dated, and a Tomcat key appears in a demo without saying where it came from. One reviewer also asks for the demo code repo.

With 4,747 students, this is a modest crowd, and the course is short. Treat it as a tour of how to build pipelines, not a place to learn Docker or Kubernetes. One reviewer says the basics of both go unexplained and Ansible gets little detail. If you already know those tools and want a compact Jenkins to Argo CD walkthrough, it is decent value. Beginners should learn the tools first and come back.

Best forPeople who already know basic Jenkins and want to see Docker, SonarQube, Trivy and Argo CD wired into one pipeline.
Skip it ifYou need Docker, Kubernetes or Ansible explained from scratch, or want slow, polished teaching.

Pros

  • Step-by-step demos that reviewers say feel like a real project workflow
  • SonarQube quality gates and Trivy scans that fail the pipeline automatically
  • Argo CD GitOps and AWS EKS section, newly added and labeled 2026
  • Also touches Terraform, Ansible, shared libraries and Slack or email alerts

Cons

  • Accent and pacing are hard to follow for some, and terms are not explained first
  • Some lessons are out of order, Docker and Ansible examples repeat, tool versions look old
  • No quizzes or exercises, and reviewers say the demo code repo is missing
Very nice and fluent explanation with step by step hands on. Thank you! Hari Sir.

Listed as All Levels, but reviewers say you should know Jenkins and basic Docker first. It plays closer to intermediate.

Course Description

This course provides a comprehensive, hands-on understanding of DevOps using Jenkins Pipeline jobs with Groovy DSL, covering real-world implementations of end-to-end CI/CD pipelines.

You will learn core Jenkins concepts in depth, including:

  • Jenkins Pipelines (Declarative & Scripted)

  • Master–Agent (Master–Slave) architecture

  • Deploy terraform using Jenkins

  • Jenkins security best practices

  • Tool integrations and plugin management

  • Ansible integration with Jenkins

The course walks you through building production-grade CI pipelines, where you:

  • Build Docker images using Jenkins pipelines

  • Dynamically tag Docker images

  • Push images to Docker Hub

  • Integrate SonarQube for static code analysis and enforce quality gates

  • Perform Docker image vulnerability scanning using Trivy

  • Fail pipelines automatically based on code quality or security issues

Newly Added: Production-Ready Kubernetes CI/CD with GitOps

The newly added section takes the course to the next level, focusing on modern, production-grade Kubernetes CI/CD using GitOps principles.

In this section, you will:

  • Design an end-to-end Kubernetes CI/CD architecture using Jenkins + Argo CD

  • Use yq to programmatically update Kubernetes manifest files from Jenkins

  • Commit and push Kubernetes manifest changes back to Git (GitOps workflow)

  • Set up an AWS EKS cluster

  • Install and configure Argo CD

  • Deploy applications to Kubernetes using Argo CD GitOps-based deployments

Notifications & Integrations

You will also learn how to configure pipeline notifications by integrating Jenkins with:

  • Email

  • Slack
    using industry-standard Jenkins plugins.

In a video course, I expect that the scenario is prepared and tested. I do not expect to see any problem faced during video course. If the scenario in video course is knowingly going hit a problem, then the troubleshoot should be explained as part of course material. Video course is recorded, and it should be reviewed before published, if some unnecessary issue happened, I expected it to be cut/removed.

By Reddy Madhumitha on 6/9/2024

It was good, U should have an idea in Jenkins before coming to this tutorial

By Anonymized User on 7/21/2023

labs and practicals are good. Need to add some more content and choose latest k8s platform

By Mitesh Jat on 1/5/2021

Very nice and fluent explanation with step by step hands on. Thank you! Hari Sir.

By Shiva kumar M on 9/26/2020

This course does not explain the basic of Docker, Kubernetes. There is no mention of how to use Ansible. It's good if you just want to see some sample code of how to build a Jenkins pipeline. Don't have high expectations just the need to know to script stuff nothing in detail.

By Sai Srikanth on 6/15/2020

This is something in real time , this work flow is considered as a real time project experience

By Vince Bailey on 3/9/2020

Great course there was only one thing that think was missing. This was the git repo for all of the code in the demos. If you have the git repo url that would be great

By Md Zaman on 1/31/2019

Section 2: Lecture 11 & 12 If you could create a report or dubug verbose and send the report to Email & Slack that will be great!

By Subramanian Gopalakrishnan on 11/28/2018

Hari Kammana has done a good job, in providing the necessary details to get a quick understanding about using jenkins and configurations.

By Gbenga Akindele on 8/24/2018

This is a very direct training with 100% of what is needed and well coordinated. The instructor has done a very good job here and i have seen same in all of his course. He is always on-point, no time wasting or repetitive saying. Absolutely fantastic!!!
