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...

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...

We recently released version 1.3 of Declarative Pipelines, which includes a couple significant new features. We’re going to cover these features in separate blog posts. The next post will show the new ability to restart a completed Pipeline run starting from a stage partway through the Pipeline, but first, let’s look at the new sequential stages feature. Sequential Stages In Declarative 1.2, we added the ability to define stages...

One common pattern for automated releases I have seen and used relies on Git tags as the catalyst for a release process. The immutable nature of releases and the immutable nature of tags can definitely go hand in hand, but up until few months ago Jenkins Pipeline was not able to trigger effectively off of Git tags. In this post I want to briefly share how to use tags...

Anchore provides docker image analysis for user defined acceptance policies to allow automated image validation and acceptance. As developers we would like to know if a change we are proposing introduces a Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE). As operators we would like to know what running applications are affected if a new CVE is discovered. Now in Jenkins X pipelines, if we find an Anchore engine service running we...

Jenkins X is an opinionated platform for providing CI / CD on top of Kubernetes. We’ve chosen a set of core applications that we install and wire together so things work out-of-the-box, providing a turn key experience. This blog aims to build on previous introductions to Jenkins X and provide a deeper insight to what you get when you install Jenkins X. So what happens? After downloading the jx...
