Work At Home Moms

Part I introduced the foundations of GitOps and modern deployment workflows. In Part II, we move from concepts into the practical realities of how engineering teams run scalable CI systems using Jenkins. This hands-on session explores the patterns teams adopt when simple pipelines are no longer enough. Topics include: * Multibranch Pipelines * Parallel Stages * Docker Agents * Shared Libraries * Parameterized Pipelines * Manual Approval Gates * Jenkins Configuration as Code (JCasC) * Smart Notifications Attendees will also experience live demos showing: ✅ Automatic pull request builds ✅ Shared libraries across repositories ✅ Fully upgraded production-style pipelines By the end of the session, participants will understand how to: * Reduce build times * Create reproducible build environments * Scale CI pipelines across multiple projects * Centralize deployment logic * Combine automation with human approval workflows * Treat Jenkins infrastructure as code 📍 Venue: STMB Basement (B-01), Strathmore University 📅 Date: 5th June 2026 ⏰ Time: 2:30 PM – 4:30 PM 💻 Bring your laptop for the best experience. Perfect for students interested in DevOps, CI/CD, Cloud Engineering, and Software Infrastructure.

Grab a drink or some food and get to know each other. This is our first event and we can take it slow. I’d love to meet everyone and hear if there’s anything you like to get out of the group. Looking forward to meeting you all!
