Taming Jenkins: Building a Cloud-Native CI Environment

GOTO Berlin 2017

Continuous Integration is often the weak link in the move from infrastructure as a collection of pets to a well-organized cattle ranch. Jenkins, while extremely useful as an in-house CI factory, is more often than not a very opaque piece of legacy infrastructure, holding key company information hostage in a maze of XML files.

In this talk, we will look at recent changes in Jenkins that make it more compatible with the infrastructure as code movement, building a repeatable, scalable, and secure build infrastructure with simple configuration.
