10. Today’s Delivery Pipeline
• Environments have different middleware
• Different app versions currently running
• Some environments should be limited to
certain users
• Some environments require approval for
deployment

11. Enterprise Challenges
• Organizing many jobs
• Standardizing common job parameters
• Securing job access
• Automating job sequence
• Setting up job “guards”
11
12. Role-Based Access Control
• Simple matrix of click- Authentication Features
boxes Provides group details
Row: role (Optional)
Column: permission Supports group lookup
(Optional) Feature
• Define groups at any level
✓ Per-project configuration
• Assign roles to groups ✓ Per-object configuration
• Filter roles at any level ✓ Subtractive permissions
model
✓* Supports external groups
✓ Local group definition
✓ Delegate management

13. Prevent Failures – Validated Merge
• Shield your repository
• Rely on Jenkins…
– Push your code to Jenkins
– Jenkins builds, verifies and merges with
upstream
• Result
– No downtime due to bad commits
– Tremendous productivity boost
13
14. Replicate Good Practice - Templates
• Talk in the users domain specific
language
– Shield them
• Capture sameness of jobs, build steps
– Replicate them
• Faster route to success
– building plugins without writing code
14
15. Custom Update Centers
• Get everyone on the same page
• Easy to create your own update center
• Host your plugin or binaries
• Inherit from upstream update centers
• Specify version number of binaries or
plugins to be promoted
15
16. High Availability Plugin
• Failure detection and Reverse Proxy
recovery is automatic
• Multiple Jenkins masters act
as backups waiting for a Jenkins
Master

primary master failure
• Can be used to do rolling Jenkins Cluster

upgrades of Jenkins
• Backup Scheduling Plugin: JENKINS_HOME (NFS)

20. 5 Points to Getting Started
• Define extent and branches of pipeline
• Doesn’t have to be Prod straight away!

21. 5 Points to Getting Started
• Define extent and branches of pipeline
• Doesn’t have to be Prod straight away!
• Define triggers and gates for your pipeline
phases
• How many of these can you automate?

22. 5 Points to Getting Started
• Define extent and branches of pipeline
• Doesn’t have to be Prod straight away!
• Define triggers and gates for your pipeline
phases
• How many of these can you automate?
• Do only validated code/artifacts get passed
down the pipeline?
• Watch out if new components are
introduced later on

23. 5 Points to Getting Started
• Who needs to know/be able to control
what?
• Job settings and deployed configuration
settings can be invisible

24. 5 Points to Getting Started
• Who needs to know/be able to control
what?
• Job settings and deployed configuration
settings can be invisible
• How much variation across
projects/platforms do you need to handle?
