Agenda
● Continuous Integration & Continuous Delivery
● What is Jenkins? Why Jenkins?
● Jenkins Project Types
● Freestyle Project
● Why Pipeline
● Pipeline Concepts
● Pipeline - Structured & Declarative
● Jenkins Job Builder
● Architecture, Automation Framework Architecture & CI Workflow
● References

6. 6
Continuous Delivery
Continuous Integration
● Integrate code into a shared repository frequently
● Each check-in is verified by an automated build
● Can detect errors Early and Easily
Continuous Deployment
● Ability to get changes into production or into the hands of users.
● Code always in deployable state

7. 7
Continuous Integration
● At a minimum:
○ Gather latest source together
○ Compile
○ Execute tests
○ Verify success
● Can include other tasks such as:
○ Rebuild the database
○ Build release distribution
○ Run code analysis and coverage tools
○ Generate documentation

What is Pipeline?
Suite of plugins
Domain Specific
Language
Extensible set of
tools
Text File in SCM

Why Pipeline?
Code
Implemented and Checked in SCM
Durable
Survive Jenkins Restarts
Pausable
Can Stop Or Wait For Human Approval
Versatile
Complex CD Requirements
Extensible
Easier to add Plugins in DSL

15. 15
Benefits of Pipeline
Automatically creates
a pipeline
Code review / iteration
on the pipeline
Single source of truth

16. 16
Pipeline Commands
Pipeline
User defined model of CD pipeline
Node
Machine in Jenkins environment
Stage
Conceptually defined subsets of tasks
Steps
Granular task that tells Jenkins what to do

17. 17
Pipeline Types - Scripted Vs Declarative
Scripted Pipeline
● Tremendous amount of Flexibility and Extensibility
● Groovy language has a limited learning curve
● Imperative Programming
Declarative Pipeline
● Simpler and Opinionated syntax
● Limits user with strict and predefined structure
● Declarative Programming

Jenkins Job Builder
● Configures Jenkins by taking Yaml or Json
● Yaml or Json are human readable
● Create Jenkins job xmls from yamls or jsons
● Uploads to Jenkins using HTTP Api
● Also has Template system
