 WHAT IS CONTINUOUS INTEGRATION?

The process of having shorter release cycles (sometimes, several times a day), i.e., creating small
features and integrating them to the source code and employing automated build and test processes
for quicker feedback is called Continuous Integration.

 ADVANTAGES OF CONTINUOUS INTEGRATION

Frequent Commits, hence small feature release

Automated Build andTesting

Instant feedback to the developer

Low risk and faster delivery

 What is Jenkins?

Jenkins is an open-source automation server written in Java. Jenkins helps to automate the non-
human part of the software development process, with continuous integration and facilitating
technical aspects of continuous delivery.

 FEATURES OF JENKINS

Adoption: Jenkins is extremely popular among the open-source

community; hence, there are more than 147,000 active installations
throughout the world and 1 million people are using it.

Plugins Support: With an extremely active open-source community,

Jenkins has around 1000 plugins that allow it to integrate with most of the
development, testing and deployment tools.

 WHAT ARE CI/CD PIPELINES?

CI/CD Pipelines, i.e., Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery and Deployment pipelines, are a way of
running Jenkins jobs in a sequence, which resembles a pipeline view.

 WHAT ARE CI/CD PIPELINES?

CI/CD Pipelines, i.e., Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery and Deployment pipelines, are a way of
running Jenkins jobs in a sequence, which resembles a pipeline view.

 CREATING AN AUTOMATED CI/CD PIPELINE

1. Initiate a Git Webhook for the Jenkin’s git-job repository

2. Trigger the jobs after the completion of previous jobs with the following map: Git-Job → Build-Website → Website-
Test

3. Install the plugin for the pipeline view

4. Make changes to the website and commit the job to see the changes
