About Jenkins

Jenkins automates build, test, and delivery workflows through configurable pipelines and agents. Build a versioned pipeline for a sample application, preserve artifact identity, and separate test success from permission to deploy.

Jenkins Course Objectives

  • Configure a Jenkins controller and isolated build agent.
  • Write a maintainable Jenkinsfile.
  • Integrate source control, tests, and artifact publication.
  • Protect credentials and approval boundaries.
  • Diagnose failures and document recovery and maintenance.

Pre-requisites

  • Working knowledge of Git and command-line build tools.
  • Familiarity with Linux, application tests, and basic deployment.
  • Container knowledge is helpful for the supplied agent setup.

Lab Setup

  • Supplied local Jenkins controller and build-agent environment with reviewed plugin versions.
  • Sample Git repository, application tests, local artifact destination, and dummy credentials.
  • No production deployment targets or unrestricted build identities are used.

Detailed Course Outline

Continuous Integration and Delivery

  • Build, test, package, and deployment boundaries
  • Pipeline stages and artifact identity
  • Feedback time and reproducible execution
  • Choosing automation from team needs

Jenkins Architecture and Setup

  • Controllers, agents, executors, and workspaces
  • Initial configuration and access control
  • Plugin selection and compatibility
  • Keeping application builds off the controller

Pipeline as Code

  • Jenkinsfile structure and Declarative Pipeline
  • Stages, steps, parameters, and environment
  • Scripted Pipeline concepts
  • Timeouts, post actions, and cleanup

Source Control and Branches

  • Checkout and revision tracking
  • Multibranch projects and pull requests
  • Webhook and polling tradeoffs
  • Handling untrusted contributor code

Build, Test, and Artifacts

  • Dependency installation and repeatable builds
  • Unit and integration-test reporting
  • Archiving and fingerprinting artifacts
  • Parallel stages and shared-state risks

Agents and Credentials

  • Agent labels and tool environments
  • Container-based build isolation
  • Credential binding and secret exposure limits
  • Scoped identities and protected deployment jobs

Deployment and Approval

  • Promoting the tested artifact
  • Manual approval and environment checks
  • Failure handling and bounded retries
  • Recovery without assuming data changes are reversed

Operations and Troubleshooting

  • Build logs, queueing, and resource constraints
  • Backup and configuration records
  • Plugin and controller upgrades
  • Auditability and least-privilege review

Practical Exercise

  • Build a pipeline that checks out, tests, and packages a sample application
  • Block artifact promotion after a failed test
  • Protect a dummy deployment credential from ordinary build jobs
  • Record artifact versions, failure evidence, and cleanup results
