• Outreachy 2018-2019 In Review

  Over the past three months, I have been mentoring two Outreachy interns, David and Latha, with my co-mentor, Jeff Thompson.

  My job is to work on a Jenkins pipeline specific to SAP S/4HANA extensions running on SAP Cloud Platform. See the original blog post here. Jenkins is a powerful tool for automation, and we heavily rely on the codified pipeline syntax introduced in Jenkins 2. With regards to operations, we minimized the need for care with the cx-server life-cycle management greatly. Still, you need...

  Close to two years ago, we announced in New, safer CLI in 2.54 that the traditional “Remoting” operation mode of the Jenkins command-line interface was being deprecated for a variety of reasons, especially its very poor security record. Today in Jenkins 2.165 support for this mode is finally being removed altogether, in both the server and bundled jenkins-cli.jar client. The projected June 5th LTS release will...
