Learning Progression

01

Topic Node

Pipeline Security — Secrets, OIDC, and Least-Privilege CI/CD

Secure CI/CD pipelines with OIDC authentication, proper secret management, and least-privilege runner permissions in production.

Start Guide

02

Topic Node

DORA Metrics — Measuring and Improving CI/CD Pipeline Performance

Use the four DORA metrics to measure deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, and MTTR in production.

Start Guide

03

Topic Node

GitOps with ArgoCD — Declarative Kubernetes Deployments from Git

Implement GitOps using ArgoCD so Git is the single source of truth and the cluster always matches the repo state.

Start Guide

04

Topic Node

Blue-Green and Canary Deployments in CI/CD Pipelines

Implement blue-green and canary deployment strategies inside CI/CD pipelines — automating traffic switching, monitoring gates, and rollback triggers.

Start Guide

05

Topic Node

Environment Promotion — Dev to Staging to Production Pipelines

Build environment promotion pipelines that automatically deploy to dev and staging, then require manual approval for production — with proper config management.

Start Guide

06

Topic Node

Rollback Strategies — Fast Recovery When Deployments Fail

Implement fast rollback strategies for failed deployments — kubectl rollout undo, ArgoCD sync to prior revision, and automated metric-based rollback triggers.

Start Guide

Vocabulary & Terms

Key words used in this concept — explained simply, no jargon.

Pipeline

A CI/CD pipeline is an automated sequence of stages that takes source code from a Git commit through building, testing, scanning, and deploying to production — eliminating manual steps and ensuring every change follows the same verified path to release.
