This GitLab CI/CD pipeline tutorial focuses on building real-world DevOps workflows using GitLab, Docker, and cloud infrastructure. It is designed to help beginners understand how modern CI/CD pipelines automate application building and deployment.

The course begins with building Docker images inside a GitLab CI pipeline. You will learn how pipelines can automatically create container images from your application code, ensuring consistent builds across environments.

Next, you will explore how to use GitLab CI/CD variables to securely manage configuration data. These variables help you store sensitive information like credentials and configuration settings, and use them inside pipelines without exposing them in code.

The tutorial then provides a hands-on demonstration of jobs and stages in a pipeline. You will understand how pipelines are structured into multiple stages such as build, test, and deploy, and how each job executes in sequence to complete the workflow.

Finally, the course covers how to create a free instance in Oracle Cloud. This allows you to set up a cloud environment where you can run and deploy your applications as part of your CI/CD pipeline.

By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to build Docker images, manage CI/CD variables, and connect your GitLab pipelines with cloud infrastructure confidently.
