Jenkins is an Open Source automation and orchestration engine. Jenkins offers a simple way to help automate the non-human parts of the software development process. Jenkins implements a continuous integration and continuous delivery environment for almost any combination of languages and source code repositories using pipelines, as well as automating other routine development tasks. Cloudbees Jenkins Enterprise (CJE) is a centrally managed Enterprise class version of Jenkins.
Features Include:
- Continuous Integration: Commit changes to the source code in a shared repository several times a day or more frequently. Every commit made in the repository is then built. This allows the teams to detect the problems early.
- Add-On Plugins: Focus on typical Jenkins-related growth challenges faced by enterprises.
- Agile Methodology: Deliver better products and optimize utilization of resources while getting rapid resolutions on issues.
QUICK START GUIDE
Requesting Access to a CloudBees Jenkins Master
Step 1: If you do not have a HARP account or an EIDM or EUA account, register for a HARP ID. For instructions on the HARP registration process, refer to the HARP page.
Step 2: Once the HARP account has been created, log into HARP and request a QualityNet CloudBees Jenkins entitlement via a HARP User Role.
NOTE: Due to the Jenkins RBAC security model, users requesting the Jenkins_Admin or Jenkins_Developer role must also request the Jenkins_Browse role.
Until this functionality is developed in HARP, Admins/Developers will need to submit a second role request for the Jenkins_Browse role.
Users requesting access to the HIDS Master will need to select the Jenkins_Browse role and then reach out to the SecDevOps team via Slack (#hids-clouddevops-support) or email (dl-hcqis_devops@ventechsolutions.com) to indicate which specific Jenkins job folder they need access to.
