DevOps World | Jenkins World 2019 Lisbon

In the true DevOps spirit, it is a sound and recommended practice to be able to automatically (re)install and configure a Jenkins CI/CD infrastructure.

This talk will discuss the reasons and goals of such a strategy, the available vectors (file system manipulations, Rest API, CLI, JCasC) and the recommended best practices. We will explain the various common use cases and illustrate them with Ansible examples (easily converted to other popular config management tools). Although the examples will deal mainly with CloudBees Core for traditional platforms, the discussion can easily be extended to Jenkins, CloudBees Jenkins Distribution or CloudBees Core for cloud platforms.

Based on this session, you will learn practical solutions to common problems, best practices and "tips and tricks" to implement your own strategy.
