Some changes have recently been released to give Pipeline authors some new tools to improve Pipeline visualizations in Blue Ocean, in particular to address the highly-voted issue JENKINS-39203, which causes all non-failing stages to be visualized as though they were unstable if the overall build result of the Pipeline was unstable. This issue made it difficult to quickly identify why a build was unstable,...

This is one of the Jenkins project in GSoC 2019. We are working on adding support for Multi-branch Pipeline Jobs and Folder Organisation in GitLab. The plan is to create the following plugins: GitLab API Plugin - Wraps GitLab Java APIs. GitLab Branch Source Plugin - Contains two packages: io.jenkins.plugins.gitlabserverconfig - Manages server configuration and web hooks management. Ideally should reside inside another plugin with name GitLab Plugin. In future, this...

Implementing DevSecOps practices at the enterprise scale is challenging. With multiple programming languages, automated testing frameworks, and security compliance tools being used by different applications within your organization, it becomes difficult to build and maintain pipelines for each team. Most pipelines are going to follow the same generic workflow regardless of which specific tech stack is employed by an application. The Templating Engine Plugin...

Pipeline-as-code or defining the deployment pipeline through code rather than manual job creation through UI, provides tremendous benefits for teams automating builds and deployment infrastructure across their environments. Source of image: https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/ Jenkins Pipelines Jenkins is a well-known open source continuous integration and continuous deployment automation tool. With the latest 2.0 release, Jenkins introduced the Pipeline plugin that implements Pipeline-as-code. This plugin lets you define delivery pipelines...

Despite speeding up development with deployment automation, one of our clients was experiencing slow time-to-market due to a lack of collaboration in DevOps. While they had invested in DevOps, every production pipeline was set up individually, forcing teams to remake the wheel for each project. Making matters worse, there was no cross-team collaboration, so any bug in the platform was present in each new pipeline. Many of our clients...

In my daily work I often have to create or modify Jenkinsfiles and more often than I would like, I make mistakes. It is a very tedious workflow when you make a change to your Jenkinsfile, create a commit, push the commit and wait for your Jenkins Server to tell you, that you have missed a bracket. The Command-line Pipeline Linter (https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/development/) does a great...

More and more today, continuous delivery (CD) pipelines are making use of containers. In many implementations, the primary workflow/orchestration tool for CD pipelines is Jenkins. And the primary container orchestration tool is Docker. Together these two applications provide a powerful, yet simple to understand and use, model for leveraging containers in your CD pipeline. When creating a pipeline script in Jenkins, there are multiple ways to incorporate Docker...

I am passionate about automation. Project Summary This is a GSoC 2018 project. This project aims to develop a pull request Job Plugin. Users should be able to configure job type using YAML file placed in root directory of...

Everyone is talking about serverless. As with any new hyped-technology the term 'serverless' is often overloaded with different meanings. Sometimes serverless is oversimplified to mean function-as-a-service(faas). But there is more to it than that. Also, not many people are talking about doing CI/CD with serverless, even though where there is code there still in need of continuous integration and continuous delivery. So I was excited to hear about this talk...
