Jenkins Enterprise Plugins

Large Installations

• Folders• Templates• Backup• High

Availability• Custom Update

Centers • Validated

Merges

Security

• Roles-based Access Control

• Wikitext Descriptions

• Secure Copy

Optimized Utilization

• Auto-scaling for VMWare installations

• Throttled Build Execution

• Even Load Strategy

• Skip Next Build• Fast Archiving

8

• To let developers focus on developing– Leave building, packaging, testing, distributing

to a computer– Make the right thing the easiest thing

• Many, well-adopted development plugins including mobile– Safety in numbers

• “Distributed builds” for scaling with workload

• “Matrix project” for easy cross device testing

Why Jenkins for Enterprise Development?

9

• The basics: record games, moves• Next steps: notifications, time keeping • Going further: competition, research• Chess client apps handle actual play• Server doesn’t need to know the rules

• Just for fun: https://github.com/mqprichard/mongo-chess

Demo: Building a “Social” Chess Server

10

• Built using Eclipse, Maven, JUnit, JAX-RS, JAX-B, gson …

• Git repository, Jenkins build/test and app deployment all running on AWS using CloudBees PaaS

• Free to develop: enterprise-grade runtime services

Fun App – but ‘Real’ Java Development

11

• Suppose I add some new killer feature• What do I need to test?– Do all components build correctly?– Do the unit tests pass?– Did the interfaces change?– Have I affected the UI behavior?

• I need this all to happen continuously and automatically – end-to-end testing

Testing, Testing, Testing

Continuous Integration The Key to Agile and Lean Development

• Better quality

products

• Faster delivery

• Scale teams

13

• Define pipeline scope and “expansion plan”

• Collect all application components (incl. configuration resources etc.)

• Build environment-independent packages

• Provide automated tests

• Define automatable release triggers & checkpoints

Continuous Delivery with Jenkins

14

• Same pipeline setup across middleware and OS types

• Same pipeline setup in private/hybrid cloud and PaaS environments

• On-demand environment provisioning

• Release Management integration

• End-to-end “paper trail”

CD in the Enterprise

15

• What needs to be in our deployment packages? Can we retrieve these components automatically?

• Can we deploy the same components to all environments, automatically? Can we keep environment information out of our builds?

• What are the stages in our pipeline? How do they map to jobs? Who owns/has access to these jobs?

• What triggers for/checkpoints between pipeline stages do I need? Can I automate triggering/checkpoint validation?

• What happens when a pipeline stage fails?

CD “Getting Started” Questions

16

• Two variants of the chess demo application

• Same build/deploy/test pipeline in Jenkins

• 1x JBoss & MySQL

• 1x Tomcat & MongoDB

• Deployit Release Dashboard

Demo: What's Coming Up

17

• Build complete and environment-independent packages

• Deploy to enterprise middleware environments out-of-the-box

• Keep environment specifics and sensitive information out of your builds

• Provide automated rollback on error

• Integrate release management controls & validation for auditing and compliance

Use Deployit & Jenkins to...

18

• It’s totally free for developers

• One click and we’ll start you off with Jenkins, Java, Scala/Lift, MySQL and more
