Jenkins DevOps Pack Deployment on Cloudjiffy at One-Click

Jenkins is an open-source continuous integration and delivery system designed to ensure build and deploy automation. It is well-suited to be installed in the cloud to run self-hosted pipelines.

Jenkins supports clustering via master-slave mode. A build process can be delegated to several slave (worker) nodes. This allows serving multiple projects in a single Jenkins cluster setup.

In this article, we’ll describe how to install the Jenkins cluster with slave nodes auto-discovering and self-registering inside a master node. Cloudjiffy PaaS implemented this solution in Jenkins DevOps Pack that can be installed from the Marketplace or through the environment setup wizard as a New Environment. In this tutorial, we’ll cover both. Also, you will find out how to build a simple Java project hosted on GitHub using the Cloudjiffy Maven plugin.
