Jenkins, From Zero To Hero: Become a DevOps Jenkins Master (Udemy.com)

Become a DevOps Master learning Jenkins & integrations with powerful tools like Docker, Ansible, AWS, GIT & more!

Created by: Ricardo Andre Gonzalez Gomez

Last updated April 2025

Our take

Based on the ratings of 19,599 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in April 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.

Ricardo Andre Gonzalez Gomez, a DevOps engineer and Red Hat certified sysadmin, teaches Jenkins here as a hub for other tools. The syllabus shows 16 sections and 187 lectures across about 10.8 hours, with separate blocks for Docker, AWS, Ansible, security, email, Maven, Git and DSL. The biggest chunk is a 36-lecture finale that builds a CI/CD pipeline with Docker and Maven. It needs a Linux machine, physical or virtual, and basic Linux knowledge helps even though the listing calls it optional.

About 85 percent of the roughly 19,600 ratings are four or five stars. Reviewers like the simple, clear explanations and the hands-on practice, and one says they picked up Docker commands along the way. The complaints are consistent, though. The course dates from 2018 and was last updated in April 2025, and several reviewers hit old screens, outdated security settings and install errors with no fix offered. The AWS section is called basic, and one reviewer found the audio rough.

Pace is the other gripe. One reviewer says the screens change too fast to follow and that the last 15 videos failed when they tried them. Another found the whole thing long. The dedicated Jenkinsfile section runs only about 27 minutes, so it is not the place for pipeline depth. With more than 156,000 students and a Bestseller badge, it works as a broad first tour of Jenkins and its neighbors. Take it for the integrations, and expect to troubleshoot version differences on your own.

Best forSysadmins and developers new to Jenkins who want to see it wired to Docker, Ansible and Maven on a Linux machine.
Skip it ifYou want deep Jenkinsfile and declarative pipeline coverage, or a course that is fully current with today's Jenkins.

Pros

  • Plain, step-by-step explanations that reviewers find easy to follow
  • Separate sections on Docker, Ansible, AWS, Maven, Git and email show how Jenkins fits with other tools
  • Hands-on practice throughout, ending with a 36-lecture CI/CD pipeline build
  • About 85 percent of ratings are four or five stars across roughly 19,600 reviews

Cons

  • Reviewers report outdated screens, security settings and installs that throw unexplained errors
  • The AWS section is called basic, and the Jenkinsfile section runs only about 27 minutes
  • Fast jumps between shells and folders, plus rough audio, make some lectures hard to follow
Very helpful and informative, with in-depth explanation at ever step. The age of the course led to some compatibility issues and errors that were not covered, which was frustrating but to be expected.
Daniel Diaz, a student

Fits beginners to Jenkins who are comfortable on Linux and Docker basics; a Linux machine is required.

Instructor Details

Ricardo Andre Gonzalez Gomez

DevOps Engineer & SysAdmin.

Cloud Architect & Linux Specialist.

Red Hat Certified Engineer.

Red Hat Certified System Administrator. 

Encuentro en Linux mi pasatiempo y diversión. Soy amante de las tecnologías open source y esto me ha llevado a integrar distintas herramientas proporcionando soluciones ágiles con Docker, Jenkins, Ansible, Git, etc. 

Mi ideal es enseñar a gente de habla Hispana sobre tecnologías actuales. Usualmente este tipo de herramientas están documentadas en Inglés, lo que podría ser un obstáculo para muchos. También, el hecho de leer y leer (en inglés) sin comprender mucho, puede llegar a acabar con las ganas de aprender de personas que se están iniciando en determinada teconología. Con mis cursos, podrás aprender de una manera más ágil y practica; y lo mejor ¡en Español!

The Jenkins course was well-structured and provided a clear understanding of CI/CD concepts and Jenkins automation. The instructor explained the topics effectively with practical demonstrations, making it easy to understand pipeline creation, job configuration, build automation, and deployment workflows. The hands-on exercises were particularly valuable and helped reinforce the theoretical concepts. The course content was relevant, informative, and beneficial for real-world DevOps practices. Overall, it was an excellent learning experience that enhanced my knowledge of Jenkins and continuous integration/continuous deployment processes. Thank you for conducting such an insightful and engaging training session.

By Victor Ponce on 1/4/2026

Overall, the course is good and helped me learn the basics of Jenkins but there were some issues: 1. The course is old and many parts are outdated, it needs to be redone completely. 2. The AWS section was disappointingly basic 3. It needs a section for Terraform

By Rakhmat Kurnia on 10/5/2022

Great so far but its also hard course because this is the practical course. We need to follow all the practical step at our computer. All teacher need to do is how to make this course up to date because of change in this technology is so fast, especially for the technical issue like how to install something with the latest version or fixed error because of that change... But overall its Great !!!

By 金子純 on 8/21/2022

This course is very worthless. We could study various things, Jenkins, Docker, Gitlab etc.. from this course. Some information is not the last updated information however we can find some hints in Q&A section. I recommend to throug this course many times for the begginer like me.

By Kalle Anka on 1/2/2022

Very good instructor and clear instructions. The course met my expectations but I feel way too much time was spent setting up tools at the expense of core knowledge. I spent more time solving problems with plugins etc, than learning Jenkins. Would appreciate to have all installations in one lecture, with all plugins installed at once instead of spread out over the course. Also, one tip is to backup your jenkins_home often. It would be nice to add some graphics illustrations showing how the different parts (containers e.g.) depend on each other.

By Shaikh Qadir on 7/22/2020

This is a great course about JenkinsRicardo is a great teacher.My advice to new comers is from the beginning use Centos7 and avoid centos8 if you want to be away from dealing with too many errors.Otherwise be ready to put up with lots of headaches and frustration.Only thing this course lacks is the master slave architecture.I hope it will be covered in the future updates.Once again I was to thank this very author Ricardo for creating such a comprehensive course about jenkins.

By Yenni CHERMAK on 4/13/2020

J'ai perdu beaucoup de temps sur les installations des environnements, je trouve qu'il n'a pas donné assez de détails pour les potentielles erreurs que l'on peut rencontrer. Tout ce que je peux dire c'est que j'ai appris plein de choses, il explique assez clairement, mais que j'ai aussi perdu beaucoup de temps a cause des multiples erreurs rencontré, et malheureusement il n' y a pas de solution proposée la plupart du temps, ce qui fait que la formation prend beaucoup mais vraiment beaucoup plus de temps.

By Szymon Stuszek on 11/10/2019

Great course, I'm a junior java developer working, in my first programming job. The material from Ricardo let me not only learn about Jenkins and Docker but gave me practical experience with linux and bash. Just set up my first working pipeline for a spring boot application running on an EC2 instance :) Pushing my code to github and then just waiting till it deploys itself through a webhook to the production server :) Very happy with the course, big thanks Ricardo!

By Ritupurna Biswal on 5/17/2019

Ricardo is outstanding! I had no idea when i took this course and now I can say I have a very good idea about jenkins and CI/CD. The best part is he is doing everything via docker and docker-compose. So you will learn docker along with the Jenkins course. Well done Ricardo. Appreciate!!

By Usman Ahmad on 4/2/2019

Really Really Awesome course. You have described each and every step in very detail and I personally recommended to everyone who wants to learn Docker, Jenkins, Ansible, Bash and Git. Thanks again for this awesome course :)
