Jenkins

Introduction

Jenkins is an open-source Continuous Integration (CI) server. You can manage multiple stages of software delivery using Jenkins including Automated testing, Static Code Analysis, Building, Packaging, and Deploying. With Devtron's Jenkins plugin, you can:

• Trigger pre-configured Jenkins jobs from Devtron and stream the logs to the Devtron dashboard.

• Execute Jenkins build pipelines through Devtron and deploy to target environments using the Devtron CD pipeline.

Prerequisites

Before integrating the Jenkins plugin, ensure that you have properly configured your Jenkins job and also have the necessary parameters set for triggering from Devtron.
