DevOps World | Jenkins World 2019 Lisbon

This informative session gives an overview of the past, present and future of Jenkins. Attendees will hear an open and honest review of what went well in the last year and what went didn't go so well. Jeremy will then discuss the direction for Jenkins in the coming decade. The talk will also address Jenkins and its role within the Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF).

How to solve security issues when you need to face multiple constraints like living in public / private plugins ecosystem, assuring backward binary compatibility, providing escape-hatch or even better progressive migration. This talk is about how the Jenkins security team is tackling those obstacles with practical examples. The Jenkins administrators will learn how we are working internally to keep their instances secured. In addition, any software developer could be inspired by the different mechanisms we put in place to adapt them to their own applications.

Jenkins prides itself on being easy to get started with, but as our demands on it grow, its performance can degrade. We have worked as Support Engineers at CloudBees, and managed Jenkins masters with 170,000 jobs at Yahoo. From that experience, we've learned how to optimize Jenkins at the outset, troubleshoot performance problems when they crop up and scale Jenkins horizontally when growth in usage requires it.

Join us to learn about the tools, techniques and best practices that will help you avoid Jenkins performance headaches, whether you are just getting started or are a seasoned user. We’ll start by covering how to determine the best hardware for your workload, and how to configure and monitor Jenkins properly. Then we’ll talk about how to detect, diagnose and fix performance issues. Finally, we’ll cover when and how to scale horizontally, adding additional masters to support growth in your environment. Throughout our talk, we will use real-world examples from our experiences running Jenkins ourselves and supporting CloudBees customers.

Want to know how Jenkins builds Jenkins?  Catch this session to see the real-life implementation of Jenkins’ development (ci.jenkins.io) and delivery infrastructure in the cloud as it evolved from a mix of platforms to multi-platform virtual machines, containers and Kubernetes on Microsoft Azure. Expect a frank discussion of issues that were encountered along the way, how the architecture has evolved and what’s on the roadmap.
I’ll share important tips and tricks for implementing your own Jenkins infrastructure on any cloud, based on my own Jenkins’ implementation experience.
