Building a CI/CD pipeline with Jenkinsfile
Creating CI/CD pipelines involves establishing a structured and automated process that simplifies the key stages of software delivery, including building, testing, and deploying applications. By utilizing Jenkins, we can create a Jenkinsfile that serves as a blueprint for managing this workflow. This approach ensures consistency, reliability, and scalability across various development environments. We will implement a Jenkinsfile, the core component for building CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins.
Defining the Jenkinsfile
The Jenkins configuration file that defines the complete workflow of a pipeline and facilitates the automation of CI/CD processes is the Jenkinsfile. It specifies the stages and steps involved in building, testing, and deploying an application, serving as a blueprint for Jenkins to orchestrate the entire process. Written in Groovy-based syntax, it typically follows the declarative pipeline format, which provides a clear and...
