Brujug Jenkins pipeline scalability
The document discusses job scalability in Jenkins, focusing on automating pipelines and managing a large number of jobs effectively. It introduces concepts such as 'pipeline as code', Job DSL, and the use of properties for configuration to streamline automation while addressing challenges like code duplication. The presentation outlines strategies for self-service, simplicity, security, and extensibility in Jenkins job management, ultimately enhancing the automation of automation.

- 16. SO FAR SOGOOD “Look Ma, I’ve built a pipeline!” “Lovely. Now, build one for your sister.”
- 17. THE STORY ▸ 40+projects… ▸ …several maintenance & feature branches per project ▸ … complex validation pipelines (10 - 20 jobs) ▸ … thousands of jobs ▸ … only a small team for Jenkins Jenkins team > 2700 jobs and growing…
- 19. In order toscale, we want: ✔ Self service ✔ Security ✔ Simplicity ✔ Extensibility
- 20. “What are we?” “Developers!” “Whatdo we do?” “Code!” “Why do we do it?” “Automation!”
- 21. PIPELINE AS CODE ▸The Job DSL ▸ Pipeline as code ▸ Pipeline libraries ▸ Pipeline as properties ▸ Pipeline automation
- 22. JOB DSL PLUGIN- START OF THE JOURNEY OUT OF THE JUNGLE ▸ Define a job using a Groovy based DSL!
- 23. JOB DSL PLUGIN ▸Very well supported ▸ Very good documentation ▸ Supports most of the plugins ▸ Built-in extensibility: inline or DSL extensions
- 24. JOB DSL PLUGIN ▸Folders & views ▸ … automatic triggers upon generation ▸ … using files in workspace
- 25. JOB DSL PLUG-IN ▸This remains code…
- 26. JOB DSL PLUGIN ▸DSL based generation done from a job ▸ Can generate and/or update other jobs ▸ Can even run while jobs are running :) SEED JOB GENERATED JOB(S) DSL SCRIPT Generates Accesses (SCM or inline) GENERATED JOB(S) GENERATED JOB(S)
- 27. BRANCHING ▸ One SeedDSL job is all very good but… ▸ Pipeline evolves with the code ▸ Different pipelines for different branches develop release/2.0 Needs a new job Pipelines for releases might be more complex
- 28. PIPELINE AS CODE ▸Your pipeline is linked to the code it builds ▸ Define your pipeline in your code Project src pom.xml job-dsl-script.groovy
- 29. PIPELINE CODE DUPLICATION ▸We can now generate a pipeline for any branch, any commit ▸ It evolves with your branches and is merged like any other piece of code ▸ That’s good enough for 1 project ▸ With several (many) projects, the level of DSL code duplication explodes!

- 34. ARE WE DONE? ▸We can describe a pipeline using a DSL ▸ The pipeline is defined together with the code it builds ▸ The DSL can use libraries to reduce code duplication ?
- 35. NOT QUITE… ▸ Thisis not enough to really scale ▸ We still have to write some DSL ▸ Self service ✔ ▸ Security ✘ ▸ Simplicity ✘ ▸ Extensibility ✔
- 36. PIPELINE AS… PROPERTIES ▸Let’s describe the pipeline using a properties file ▸ Which pipeline library & which version ▸ Configuration properties - specific to the library ▸ Property file format ubiquitous ▸ No code running on the master ▸ Can be used for reporting on all the pipelines!

- 38. SEED PLUGIN ▸ https://github.com/jenkinsci/seed-plugin ▸Allows to generate: ▸ projects folders ▸ branches pipelines ▸ based on seed files (properties and/or DSL) ▸ integration with hooks

- 43. HOOKS ▸ Generations canbe automated using hooks at SCM level ▸ Support for GitHub, BitBucket, generic HTTP calls (for SVN) ▸ Configurable. For example: BRANCH CREATION SCM EVENT Seed plug-in COMMIT SEED CHANGED BRANCH DELETION PIPELINE EVENT Generation Triggers the pipeline Regenerates the pipeline Deletes the pipeline
- 44. RESPONSIBILITIES Jenkins team Pipeline libraries Developsand maintains Development team seed.properties Defines Seed plug-in SCM Triggers
- 45. WHAT DID WEJUST ACHIEVE? ▸ Automation of automation ▸ Self service ✔ ▸ Pipeline automation from SCM ▸ Security ✔ ▸ Project level authorisations ▸ No code on the master ▸ Simplicity ✔ ▸ Property files ▸ Extensibility ✔ ▸ Pipeline libraries ▸ Direct job DSL still possible
- 46. YOU CAN NOWRELAX…
- 47. DEMO TIME ▸ Bootstrappinga project ▸ Configuring the project for GitHub ▸ Creating a branch —> Branch folder generated ▸ Committing on the branch —> Pipeline started ▸ Updating the pipeline branch —> Pipeline regenerated ▸ Deleting the branch —> Branch folder gone

- 52. A GLIMPSE OFTHE FUTURE ▸ Jenkins 2.0 ▸ Pipeline plug-in ▸ “Pipeline as Code” in the core ▸ How does the current solution fit?
- 53. SEED & PIPELINEPLUGIN ▸ The Seed plugin will keep working ▸ It can already generate pipeline jobs (Job DSL) ▸ But overlap of functionalities Branch pipelines Pipeline as code SEED PIPELINE Hook integration Pipeline as properties Community & support Pipeline libraries Pipeline script library
