Jenkins for Continuous Integration and Deployment in DevOps Engineer: A Deep Dive into Features and Best Practices

Nagaraju Islavath

Abstract: Jenkins is an open - source automation server commonly used in the DevOps environment. It plays a crucial role in continuous integration (CI) and the next subsequent step, continuous delivery (CD) or continuous deployment (CD). To address the development problem of continuous automation of their testing, building, and deployment pipelines, Jenkin can be downloaded for free and used for the DevOps private clouds. This software is developed by Kohsuke Kawaguchi, one of the original developers of the Hudson project. It is hierarchical in structure. Users can develop their plugins to improve their customizability. Jenkins, supported by plugins, might be able to automate coding, testing, or building and deploy release activities. This paper explores the best practices when using Jenkins for CI/CD. First, developers will face challenges when conducting Jenkins implementation. I will explain why applying Jenkins to help them solve their bottleneck could work in DevOps. Finally, I will describe practical cases that show why successful companies have had to adopt containers and microservices based on Kubernetes. I will also explain how Jenkins with plugins can enhance developers' productivity in the containerized DevOps environment.
