Notes on Software Development

In the previous article of these examples , we created a stateless jenkins container which can be initialised solely by using scripts. In that example, a seed job for jobdsl plugin was also implemented. This job was later on used to create an automated simple jenkins job inline. In order to create more complex jobs in an automated fashion, we will extend previous seed job implementation further in this example. Our extended seedJob will poll a job definition repository to gather the information on how to create new complex jobs for some other remote repositories.

The purpose of these sample series is to create a simple set of examples, which showcasesCI/CD as Code, using Jenkins. Main goal is to create a stateless CI/CD setup, which can be bootstrapped from a set of configuration files and scripts so that many problems related to maintenance of the infrastructure and other operational issues are reduced. First Steps to "job as code" Checkout this example from here We are going to introduce necessary plugins to achieve the goal of programmatic job descriptions in this step and configure them accordingly via programmatic means. The first plugin that we are going to introcude is jobDsl plugin . The most common job creation mechanism in Jenkins is that users usually create jobs by cloning/copying an existing project. As experienced by most of us, when the number of jobs grows in Jenkins or the job description gets complicated, use of user interface oriented method becomes...

The purpose of these sample series is to create a simple set of examples, which showcasesCI/CD as Code, using Jenkins. Primary goal is to create a stateless CI/CD setup, which can be bootstrapped from a set of configuration files and scripts so that many problems related to maintenance of the infrastructure and other operational issues are reduced. We created a containerised Jenkins instance in the previous part of these example series . Most of the installation and setup work in that example was done manually via user interface. Our target in this step is to automate most of the manual work in our way towards a stateless Jenkins instance.  Checkout this example from here In summary, this basic setup will handle the following on behalf of an actual human being: Creation of the user(s) on jenkins programmatically. Installation of basic plugins to get up-and-running with Jenkins. ...

The purpose of these sample series is to create a simple set of examples, which showcases   CI/CD as Code , using Jenkins. Primary goal is to create a stateless CI/CD setup, which can be bootstrapped from a set of configuration files and scripts so that many problems related to maintenance of the infrastructure and other operational issues are reduced. A step by step approach is followed while implementing the examples. The documentation regarding each step can be reached using the links below. Sample Steps Introduce a stateful containerised Jenkins Complete the basic setup of Jenkins via code : The goal of this step is to complete  basic setup  of Jenkins completely programmatically. First steps to 'job as code'  : In this step, we are going to head towards configuring jobs programmatically. Stateless Jenkins - Job as Code Part II : In this ...
