Linux Foundation Training and Continuous Delivery Foundation launched a free training course on the edX platform, LFS167x – Introduction to Jenkins, on June 4. In that time, the course has already enrolled 5,000 students, making it one of the fastest-growing courses we have ever released. This is great news for helping to grow the Jenkins and overall DevOps communities.
The course covers the fundamentals of continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD), and how they help transform the overall software delivery process. It is most useful for roles such as DevOps engineers, software developers and architects, and professionals focused on site reliability and quality assurance, though anyone involved in the software delivery process will benefit. It includes a detailed introduction to the Jenkins automation server, and also provides instructions on how to set up/use Jenkins for CI/CD workflows.
Upon completion, enrollees will have a solid understanding of the role that Jenkins plays in the software development lifecycle, how to install a Jenkins server, how to build software with it, how to manage third party integrations/plugins and how to scale and secure Jenkins. They will also get a glimpse of what they can do to further enhance their CI/CD skills.Ā
Join the more than 5,000 individuals who have started improving their software delivery processes – enroll for free today!
Hi CI/CD Fans,
I’m Romnick Acabado, a DevOps Leader and IT Manager from Lingaro Philippines. I use my strengths, passion, and purpose in exploring, learning, and sharing DevOps practices to improve the lives of the people who are involved within the flow of business ideas to the best quality of user experience.
In short, I would like to help to improve the lives of people all over the world through modern IT.
This year marks my tenth year in my IT professional career. Learning DevOps practices becomes my priority as we call our team a “DevOps Team.”
Everything starts with awareness, and you will only know your team’s position, validate your overall experience and challenges on something when you are exposed to the external community.
When I was studying, I was very active in joining student societies to give additional value to our community. I have never imagined that I could continue it in the corporate world because of my doubts.
Last 2019, I worked a lot on how I can improve my confidence, and I believe that the actions that I took helped me to believe in myself, leverage my strengths (analytical, responsibility, relater, communication & learning) and competencies while outworking my potentials. So in the latter part of 2019, I found the Ambassador Program of DevOps Institute, and I tried to sign-up. Forest Jing and Dheeraj Nayal were too accommodating to assist me in the process. I have been a fan of the learning model of 70-20-10, where 20% of learning a skill usually comes from your relationship and connections to experts, so I thought that it is about time not to limit my connections within my company. Luckily, I was selected, and I have successfully joined the program.
I have focused on improving myself and continuously be an asset wherever I am engaged, and I am happy that the DOI’s Chief Ambassador has recognized it:
As I continue to build my branding and represent our organization in DevOps, I have embraced my role as one of the leaders in the Philippines to support and promote the DevOps movement.
I created a website, where I share my exploration and DevOps journey. I also maintain a Facebook and Twitter account.
You can also join my Meetup group DevOps SKIL Up PH, where I want to build a community of DevOps practitioners and leaders in our country to help each other through upskilling.
I’m joining the CDF as an ambassador because I believe that DOI and what they advocate are intersecting. I even see my co-ambassadors in both communities. I am confident that through CDF, I will be able to learn more and share my knowledge about CI/CD tools, which are essential in the DevOps design.
I also see the alignment of my vision, mission, and my values about creativity, being solution-oriented and collaborative in these communities.
Being a life-long learner, I know that I will continue to learn with the experts in this community, and I will be able to give value as well through my time and expertise. It’s always fun to be surrounded by like-minded DevOps professionals.
For the past months, I was able to join the DevOps summit and panel discussion in our DevOps communities at the DevOps Summit in April 2020 and DevOps India Summit. I’ll also be speaking at the DevOps upcoming Virtual DevOps Summit on November 2-3.
You can connect to me through my LinkedIn account for future collaboration about DevOps, CI/CD, or analytics solutions.
Good luck to your DevOps journey and see you at future CDF events. It’s my pleasure to represent and be part of this great community! š
Iāve been involved on a range of projects before but itās a wide spectrum - from mobile app development, co-creating AdoptOpenJDK, GPUs from Java, Apache Spark, Node.js, Microclimate, and for…

Heyyo!
My name is Steven Terrana. Itās great to be here! Iām currently a DevSecOps & Platforms Engineer at Booz Allen Hamilton.
My day to day largely consists of working with teams to implement large-scale CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, implementing DevSecOps principles, and adopting all the buzzwords :).
Through experiencing all of the pains associated with the ālarge-scaleā pipeline development, I developed the Jenkins Templating Engine: a Jenkins plugin that allows users to stop copying and pasting Jenkinsfiles by creating tool-agnostic, pipeline templates that can be shared across teams enabling organizational governance while optimizing for developer autonomy. If that sounds cool, you can check out the Jenkins Online Meetup.
You can probably find me somewhere in the Jenkins community. I help drive the Pipeline Authoring SIG and contribute to community plugins and pipeline documentation where I can.
Iām excited to be a part of an organization in CDF thatās helping to establish best practices, propel the adoption of continuous delivery tooling, and facilitate interoperability across emerging technologies to streamline software delivery.
Oh, yeah, and I have two cats and a turtle. Meet James Bond, GG, and Sheldon:

Hello folks,
My name is Alex and I am excited to be a part of the Continuous Delivery Foundation community. I believe that the work we do here will help the world deliver faster through interoperability of technology and foundational component governance.
I am an open source contributor to many projects and also advocate for the work of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. I hold it a great privilege to help give a platform for those without a voice and act as a force multiplier to create opportunities for others.
I have worked for the past thirteen years at Microsoft, BSkyB, Blinkbox, Beamery and more. Working as both an individual contributor and engineering leader.
Now I am an engineering director at American Express.
I work on large scale serverless runtime observability, proliferating DevOps practices and hybrid-cloud cluster development on hyper-converged infrastructure.
It is my hope that I can bring real end-user community desires and feedback to the governance body of the CDF to help us understand and shape the activities that we invest time in. Equally I am looking forward to working as an ambassador to help the community gain tangible benefits of a collaborative vendor-neutral continuous delivery ecosystem.

Hi All,
I am Hector Calderon, an engineer, architect, or insert open source loving nerd adjective here. I have worked with companies of all sizes from small to enterprise. With a vendor/cloud agnostic mentality, I have had the chance to work with many open source projects, including all of the graduate CDF projects. When I am not trying to automate myself out of a position I am out exploring the world with my dog, Piper.
My delivery journey started a few years ago when I was assigned to optimize RPM libraries for modernizing mainframes.. Yes, MAINFRAMES. Itās actually a lot cooler than it sounds and I had the opportunity to work with some of the best engineers I know to this day.
Over the years and various companies, I noticed the most important requirement for delivering success is largely based upon the mentality of the team and company (below is a meme we put on the back of our CI team shirts). Note, huge fan of Napoleon Hill’s QQMA formula – quality, quantity, and mental attitude.Ā
At the end of the day everybody wants a high-quality product at a fast speed with least amount of overhead.
I have not been much of a contributor in the past, but now I am looking to give back to the community that has taught me so much. My objective as Ambassador is to make delivery easier for everyone. Feel free to reach out.
Stay safe and stay tuned for my next post.
