Who is this for?

This Learning Path is for software developers deploying and optimizing Jenkins workloads on Arm Linux environments, specifically on Microsoft Azure Cobalt 100 processors and Google Cloud C4A virtual machines powered by Axion processors.

What will you learn?

Upon completion of this Learning Path, you will be able to:

  • Provision an Azure Arm64 virtual machine using the Azure console with Ubuntu Pro 24.04 LTS
  • Provision an Arm-based SUSE Linux virtual machine on Google Cloud (C4A with Axion processors)
  • Install Jenkins LTS with OpenJDK 17 on an Arm64 virtual machine
  • Validate Jenkins installation through service checks, UI access, and Arm-native pipeline execution
  • Execute Arm-native Jenkins pipelines to verify correct runtime behavior
  • Implement CI use cases on Arm64, including Docker-based pipelines

Prerequisites

Before starting, you will need the following:
