Build a complete CI/CD pipeline using Git, Jenkins, Maven, Docker, Ansible and Kubernetes on AWS EKS.

Last updated July 2026
Our take
Based on the ratings of 19,897 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in July 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.
AR Shankar's course builds one pipeline from start to finish for a Java application. Code goes from Git through Jenkins and Maven to Tomcat, then Docker, then Ansible, and finally onto Kubernetes running on AWS EKS. It runs about 6.3 hours over 64 lectures in nine sections, and roughly 104,000 students have signed up. This is a project course, not a tool tutorial. The requirements expect basic familiarity with all seven tools plus an AWS free-tier account, so it fits people who know the pieces and want to see them wired together.
Reviewers praise the teaching most. They call it clear, easy to follow and broken into small chunks, and several like the hands-on steps. One learner who had studied DevOps from scattered sources for a year or two said the CI/CD flow finally made sense. Complaints are mild. A four-star reviewer warns that some videos use older, unsupported tool versions, which can trip up beginners, and another asks for more scenarios. About nine in ten of the roughly 19,900 ratings are four or five stars, and only a few hundred are one or two.
The course was last updated in July 2026, but the older-version comment suggests some lectures show their age. There are no quizzes or coding exercises, just the build itself. The Docker and Ansible sections are the longest, at around 80 minutes each. As a short, focused walkthrough it suits a weekend of practice or interview prep. Anyone still new to Jenkins or Docker should learn those first.
Pros
- One continuous project takes a Java app from a Git commit to pods on Kubernetes
- Reviewers call the explanations clear and easy to follow in small chunks
- Covers Tomcat, Docker, Ansible and EKS in a single pipeline, not separate demos
- At about 6.3 hours it is quick to finish in a weekend or two
Cons
- Some videos use older, unsupported tool versions, which can trip up beginners
- No quizzes or coding exercises, so practice is limited to following along
- Assumes basic knowledge of seven tools and needs an AWS free-tier account
I have been learning DevOps from different sources for almost 1-2 years, but for the first time, things got clear.
Labeled All Levels, but it assumes basic knowledge of seven tools. Better for early intermediates.
What you will learn
- Complete understanding of DevOps flow.
- Kubernetes setup on AWS cloud
- Setup DevOps CI/CD pipeline to build and deploy a real-time project

Course Description
Want to know how Git, Jenkins, Maven, Docker, Ansible, and Kubernetes actually work together in a real DevOps pipeline — not just in theory, but hands-on, end-to-end?
In this course, you'll build a complete CI/CD pipeline from scratch to deploy a real Java application — the same way it's done in production environments. You won't just learn what each tool does in isolation; you'll learn how they connect, step by step, into one working pipeline.
What you'll build:
Set up Jenkins, Maven, and GitHub for continuous integration
Deploy artifacts to a Tomcat server and automate builds with Poll SCM
Containerize your app with Docker and manage deployments with Ansible
Set up a Kubernetes cluster on AWS EKS and deploy your app as pods
Automate the entire flow — from a Git commit to a live deployment on Kubernetes — using Jenkins and Ansible together
By the end of this course, you'll be able to set up a complete CI/CD pipeline on your own, using the same tools and workflow followed by real DevOps teams.
Who this course is for:
Anyone who already knows the basics of Git, Jenkins, Docker, Ansible, or Kubernetes individually, but wants to see how they fit together in one real pipeline
Anyone preparing for DevOps interviews or real-world project work who wants hands-on practice, not just theory
I'm AR Shankar, and I've spent 10+ years working in DevOps. I built this course the way I wish someone had taught me — with a real project, real problems, and a clear step-by-step path from start to finish.
Requirements: Basic familiarity with AWS, Git, Maven, Jenkins, Docker, Ansible, and Kubernetes; an AWS free-tier account to follow along.

Good course for learning DevOps fundamentals and core concepts. However, beginners may find it a bit challenging as some videos use older, unsupported versions of tools and technologies.
