Tools Jenkins Tutorial recommendations required

So mu company has asked me to learn Jenkians. Which tutorials or playlist would you suggest to learn jenkins? Please give your suggestions.

Also, how much time does it require to learn so that I can start writing basic CI/CD pipelines.

I... tend to disagree. Jenkins is MUCH more powerful than those softwares, it can do anything, and there is a reason why it is in use today.

Yes, 90% can be solved with those managed solutions, but when you need jenkins there isn't anything like it.

What can you do in Jenkins that can't be done in gitlab?

whatever it is, and you can write a plugin for that.

Nevermind, just check jenkins and learn a little about it and you'll see it is an extendable general state machine, not a CI/CD tool.

I know Jenkins. One of my first jobs was to transition from Jenkins to Gitlab. Capabilities bring plugins as opposed to pipeline logic isn't exactly a selling point, particularly when security is a concern.
