What you’ll learn:

To move fast, organizations need people who are skilled at automating as much as possible. Many progressive startups favor implementing completely automated DevOps pipelines from the get-go. They know these practices of continuous integration (CI) and DevOps yield tremendous speed and agility. Thus, demand for these skills has steadily risen over the last few years.

Jenkins is an award-winning open-source toolset which enables you to build sophisticated automated build pipelines very quickly. It has extensive community support which has augmented the core functionality of Jenkins by building and sharing hundreds of robust plugins. Implementing continuous integration with Jenkins can reduce the risk within the software development lifecycle. It catches bugs early and increases the quality of software products. This, in turn, reduces the overall cost to develop innovative software in any environment—startups and enterprise alike.

With such demand for professionals who know Jenkins, salaries and consulting rates for these skills have also also grown.
