Jenkins Reviews

We use the solution for continuous integration and deployment.

The deployment time has reduced considerably. Since we started using it, the solution has taken care of everything that we used to do manually. It helps us with the automation of the deployment process.

In our CI/CD pipeline, we rely on Jenkins to trigger various tasks related to the Telco Cloud infrastructure. It's an essential tool for managing our infrastructure tasks efficiently.

Jenkins is incredibly user-friendly, so I haven't encountered any difficulties using it. It's the only product I've used for automation, but I find it to be very intuitive and effective.

Jenkins has been instrumental in automating our build and deployment processes. We're leveraging Jenkins to automate tasks related to Telco, particularly in upgrading the manual orchestration. It's a critical tool for streamlining our operations.

I use Jenkins as a CI/CD tool. We create pipelines using Jenkins, with stages for Maven builds, Docker image builds, SonarQube integration, and deploying the image to a Kubernetes cluster, AWS EKS.

Jenkins has made the developers' work very easy. They commit to the remote repository, and everything happens automatically, which simplifies our automation and continuous integration.

We have multiple job templates available. You just need to find the best template for your needs. If you just want to do a Maven build, there will be a more suitable template there. For something else, if you just have one rebuild and you want to deploy it from the server, there will be some other job template available. We have multiple job templates, so we need to configure according to that template and then it's okay.

The solution is deployed on-premises. About 15% of my organization is using this solution. It's basically used by the DevOps engineers. Not all the developers use it.

With Jenkins, the pipeline will take your code from any versioning system like GitHub or Bitbucket. All the security scans can happen in one go and then all the tests also get run. You can just build one container in it and deploy it.

I use Jenkins for CI/CD pipelines. 

Jenkins's automation and orchestration features have significantly improved workflows by automating various processes. Initially, it did not support YAML manifesting or GitOps, but recent versions have introduced these capabilities. Now, the tool supports importing manifest files from Git repositories, enabling the implementation of GitOps pipelines. Compared to other tools like GitLab, it has become a mature tool for running CI/CD pipelines.

While some integrations were difficult and time-consuming, others were more straightforward, requiring only a few clicks. The tool benefits from a community of plugin providers that offer various plugins for various functionalities.

Jenkins is used for continuous automation of the various stages of the software development life cycle, such as building, testing, and deploying code chains. Jenkins supports continuous integration, allowing developers to integrate their code chain into a shared repository multiple times in a day.

Jenkins has a large number of plug-ins available for source code management, build tools, and testing. Jenkins integrates with various version control systems like Git and Bitbucket. Since it has a pipeline, Jenkins supports the creation of complex builds and deployment for a flow using the pipeline plugins.

Jenkins provides security features such as user authentication, authorization, and role-based access control. The solution integrates with external identity providers for authorization.

Jenkins optimizes the CI/CD process, enhances automation, and ensures efficiency and management of our build and deployment pipeline. It is easy for somebody to learn to use Jenkins.

As a Software Engineer, I deploy critical application code using the critical infrastructure consisiting of Jenkins and Terraform. I also manage AWS services like EC2, RDS, and ELB. I am responsible for handling on-call issues, deploying data bundles to various environments, and I operate on a weekly or bi-weekly deployment schedule based on requirements. We follow the Agile methodology and tracking work with tools like Jira.

We avoid application downtime by using Kubernetes' scaling features, such as horizontal pod autoscalers and load balancing services. This ensures our application handles increased requests efficiently and remains robust and scalable.

As an administrator, I manage Jenkins. The development team uses it more frequently for automation and CI/CD.

Jenkins is a very good automation tool for building and deploying CI/CD. It is a good building tool and is the most popular tool for Java and microservices projects. Jenkins has a lot of built-in packages and tools.
