Industry Use-Cases of Jenkins

In this article, we are going to learn about the DevOps tool and the name of that tool is Jenkins This is the main tool that provides us the real definition of CI/CD. The main use of this tool is to provide Continous Deployment to the Testing and Production environment

we can integrate this tool with other DevOps Tools very easily Like Docker Git & GitHub and Ansible to perform our task and the main requirements or we can say prerequisite for this tool is Java or JDK pre-installed on the system. because Jenkins builds on top of Java and that's is the reason this is somewhat slow and heavy for use. and its also a tool of DevOps So first of all we see what is DevOps and after that Jenkins and then some more info about and feature of Jenkins and then Use-case of Jenkins

DevOps

is a set of practices that combines software development and IT operations. It aims to shorten the systems development life cycle and provide continuous delivery with high software quality. DevOps is complementary with Agile software development; several DevOps aspects came from the Agile methodology.

What is Jenkins?

Jenkins is a self-contained, open-source automation server that can be used to automate all sorts of tasks related to building, testing, and delivering or deploying software. Jenkins can be installed through native system packages, Docker, or even run standalone by any machine with a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed.

Jenkins offers many attractive features for developers:

• Easy Installation. Jenkins is a platform-agnostic, self-contained Java-based program, ready to run with packages for Windows, Mac OS, and Unix-like operating systems.
• Easy Configuration.
• Available Plugins.
• Extensible.
• Easy Distribution.
• Free Open Source.

Some Use-Case of Jenkins

Summary: Topdanmark, a leading Danish insurer chooses Jenkins as the “de facto” product to build their CI/CD platform.

Challenge: Balancing the needs of DevOps modernization and cloud migration while maintaining legacy systems.

Solution: A highly-configurable CI/CD platform that allows for automation and ease of development.

Results:

• 100% automatic creation of Jenkins instances
• the ability to release and deploy an artifact whenever, wherever
• software developers focused on developing software rather than operations
• smaller monoliths and containerization

"Our CI/CD platform is used by 200 people. The services that we build and deploy are used by thousands of potential clients and by our network of 675 own agencies located in Spain and Portugal."

Conclusion

There is great progress is going on with software technologies, IT industries require development teams to produce and deliver high-quality software better and faster than their competition. In Today's era development teams are building scalable and efficient software delivery engines by creating repeatable processes which standardize development and its best practices. Automated testing is one such activity by which the developer’s code is tested in the same standard way for every change and every cycle so that management and other users can trust that every change is well tested before it is moved to production.
