Jenkins tool with a project
Understand what Jenkins is and perform a freestyle project on Jenkins.
What is Jenkins?
Jenkins is an open-source automation server that helps to automate parts of the software development process such as build, test, and deployment. It is widely used in DevOps environments for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) to streamline software delivery pipelines.
In a typical DevOps workflow, Jenkins is used to manage source code repositories and trigger automated builds and tests on code changes. It integrates with various tools and technologies such as Git, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS to create an end-to-end pipeline that automates the entire software delivery process.
Jenkins supports various programming languages, including Java, Python, Ruby, and many more, making it a versatile tool to use in different technology stacks. It also provides a robust plugin ecosystem, enabling users to customize their workflows and add functionalities according to their requirements.
Overall, Jenkins is an essential tool for modern software development teams that enables continuous integration and deployment, helps to maintain code quality, and increases agility and productivity.
