Hands-On Continuous Integration and Automation with Jenkins - CD Pipeline – Approve and Deploy to Live

This video tutorial focuses on completing a Continuous Delivery (CD) pipeline using Jenkins. It covers adding manual approval and deployment stages to a Jenkins file, configuring the pipeline, and executing it. The tutorial also provides resources for writing pipeline scripts and highlights the use of Docker and Python in the process. The video concludes with a demonstration of the pipeline's successful execution and offers additional resources for further learning.
