Jenkins Notes

Jenkins is an open-source automation server that can run on Windows, MacOS and Linux. It was originally developed by Sun Microsystems in 2004 and is used to automate all stages of the software development lifecycle, including code testing and deployment. Jenkins has many plugins that allow it to integrate with version control systems like Git and tools for building, testing and deploying code. It uses agents or nodes that can be separate machines to execute jobs and pipelines in parallel.

Jenkins

« Jenkins is an open-source project written in Java, that runs on Windows, macOS, and
other Unix-like OS. Itis a free community supported and might be your first choice tool for CI
(Continuous Integration).
« Jenkins automates the entire software development life cycle.
« Jenkins was originally developed by Sun Microsystem in 2004 under the name Hudson.
« The project was later named Jenkins when oracle bought Microsystems.
« It can run on any major platform without any compatibility issues.

« Wherever developers write code, we integrate all that code and then build, test, and
deliver/deploy to the client. This process is called CIICD.

« Because of Cl, bugs will be reported fast and get rectified fast: So the entire software development
happens fast.

@ Workflow of Jenkins

« We can attach Git, Maven, Selenium, and Artfactory plugins to Jenkins.

« Once developers put code in GitHub, Jenkins pulls that code and sends it to Maven for Build or
other build tools.

« Once the build is done, Jenkins pulls that code and sends it to Selenium for testing.

+ Once testing is done, Jenkins wil pull that code and send it to Artifactory as per requirement.

« We can also deploy with Jenkins,

@ Advantages of Jenkins

« It has a lot of plugins available.

« You can write your plugin.

« You can use community plugins.

« Jenkins is not just a tool. Itis a framework, i.e. you can do whatever you want. All you need is just
plugins,

« We can attach slaves (nodes) to Jenkins's master. It instructs others (slaves) to do Jobs. If slaves are
not available, Jenkins itself does the Job.

« Jenkins also behaves as a Cron Server replacement, i.e- can do the scheduled task.

« It can create Labels.

@ What is Node

« A machine that is part of the Jenkins environment and capable of executing Pipelines or jobs. Both
the Controller and Agents

are considered to be Nodes.

@ What is an Agent in Jenkins

« An agent is typically a machine, or container, which connects to a Jenkins controller and executes
tasks when directed by the

controller

@ What is Pipeline - A pipeline is a collection of steps or jobs which are interlinked with one another
in a sequence.

Declarative: Declarative is a more recent and advanced implementation of a pipeline as a code.

Scripted: Scripted was the first and most traditional implementation of the pipeline as a code in
Jenkins. It was designed as a

general-purpose DSL (Domain Specific Language) built with Groovy.
