Jenkins automation

[2014-04-10 Thu 19:08] speaker: Aleksey Maksimov event: DevOps meetup ** was Java architect and developer for 7 years ** worked with builds for 8 years ** github.com/lechat ** jenkins backup some plugins save config in their own location jenkina ssh keys keep job definition with the source code use jenkinsapi to save/restore jobs ** editing job’s config.xml is difficult OpenStack jenkins-job-builder job definition in YAML supports templates, variables, macros ** generating per branch builds name: helloworld branch:

• ‘master’
• ‘develop’ jobs:
• ‘build_{name}_{branch}’

post commit hooks to automatically create jobs when a new feature branch is created, delete jobs when branch is deleted ** making and running parallel build pipeline jenkinsflow library to make and run pipelines prefer separate library to plugin, plugins need to restart jenkins invoke jenkinsflow from a jenkins job for job coordination instead of hardcoding dependency in jenkins, encode them in python script create dynamic pipeline using python logic ** version the entire build process with the source jenkins instance can be regenerated from the configs in minutes
