Jenkins
Build great things at any scale
About Jenkins
Jenkins is an open source automation tool written in Java with plugins built for Continuous Integration purpose.
The leading open source automation server, Jenkins provides hundreds of plugins to support building, deploying and automating any project.
- Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery
- Easy installation
- Easy configuration
Jenkins Topics
The following are the things covered under Jenkins.
Creating your first Pipeline
Jenkins Pipeline (or simply 'Pipeline') is a suite of plugins which supports implementing and integrating continuous delivery pipelines into Jenkins.
Running multiple steps
Pipelines are made up of multiple steps that allow you to build, test and deploy applications. Jenkins Pipeline allows you to compose multiple steps in an easy way that can help you model any sort of automation process.
Defining execution environments
The agent directive tells Jenkins where and how to execute the Pipeline, or subset thereof. As you might expect, the agent is required for all Pipelines.
Using environment variables
Environment variables can be set globally, like the example below, or per stage. As you might expect, setting environment variables per stage means they will only apply to the stage in which they’re defined.
Recording test results and artifacts
While testing is a critical part of a good continuous delivery pipeline, most people don’t want to sift through thousands of lines of console output to find information about failing tests.
Cleaning up and notifications
Pipeline is guaranteed to run at the end of a Pipeline’s execution, we can add some notification or other steps to perform finalization, notification, or other end-of-Pipeline tasks.
