JOB SCALABILITY IN JENKINSGETTING OUT OF THE JOB JUNGLE
BruJUG - March 9th, 2016 - @DamienCoraboeuf
WHO AM I?
▸ Damien Coraboeuf (@DamienCoraboeuf)
▸ Born to Java in 1996
▸ “Brol” engineer since 2008
▸ Automating pipelines @ Clear2Pay / FIS & Multipharma
I’ll be your guide on this journey
THE MAP Short introduction to Jenkins
Birth of a pipeline
Manual mode The Job DSL
Branching and its consequences
Pipeline as code
Pipeline as not code
Automation of automation
We want to get thereLook, there is another beach here!
Do not go there!💀
DO YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS?
JENKINS
▸ http://jenkins-ci.org/
▸ Very versatile Continuous Integration engine
▸ ~ 70% of the CI market (2012 figures)
▸ Open source - strong community
▸ Extensible
▸ more than 1000 plugins
▸ easy to develop new ones
▸ Job scheduler
▸ Integrates with basically everything
JENKINS - JOBS & FOLDERS
JENKINS - JOBS IN FOLDER
JENKINS - PIPELINE VIEWS
JENKINS - JOB
JENKINS - JOB CONFIGURATION
Let’s get some sources…
JENKINS - JOB CONFIGURATION
Let’s run some Bash…

Let’s launch some Gradle…

Let’s trigger another job…
PIPELINES
▸ Defining jobs
▸ Linking them together
▸ Running them in parallel or in sequence
▸ Some triggers are automatic, other ones are manual

SO FAR SO GOOD
“Look Ma, I’ve built a pipeline!”
“Lovely. Now, build one for your sister.”
THE STORY▸ 40+ projects…
▸ …several maintenance & feature branches per project
▸ … complex validation pipelines (10 - 20 jobs)
▸ … thousands of jobs
▸ … only a small team for Jenkins
Jenkins team
> 2700 jobs and growing…
In order to scale, we want:
✔ Self service
✔ Security
✔ Simplicity
✔ Extensibility
“What are we?”
“Developers!”
“What do we do?”
“Code!”
“Why do we do it?”
“Automation!”
PIPELINE AS CODE
▸ The Job DSL
▸ Pipeline as code
▸ Pipeline libraries
▸ Pipeline as properties
▸ Pipeline automation
JOB DSL PLUGIN - START OF THE JOURNEY OUT OF THE JUNGLE
▸ Define a job using a Groovy based DSL!
JOB DSL PLUGIN
▸ Very well supported
▸ Very good documentation
▸ Supports most of the plugins
▸ Built-in extensibility: inline or DSL extensions
JOB DSL PLUGIN
▸ Folders & views
▸ … automatic triggers upon generation
▸ … using files in workspace
JOB DSL PLUG-IN
▸ This remains code…
JOB DSL PLUGIN
▸ DSL based generation done from a job
▸ Can generate and/or update other jobs
▸ Can even run while jobs are running :)
SEED JOB GENERATED JOB(S)

BRANCHING
▸ One Seed DSL job is all very good but…
▸ Pipeline evolves with the code
▸ Different pipelines for different branches
develop
release/2.0
Needs a new job
Pipelines for releasesmight be more complex
PIPELINE AS CODE
▸ Your pipeline is linked to the code it builds
▸ Define your pipeline in your code
Project
src
pom.xml
job-dsl-script.groovy
PIPELINE CODE DUPLICATION
▸ We can now generate a pipeline for any branch, any commit
▸ It evolves with your branches and is merged like any other piece of code
▸ That’s good enough for 1 project
▸ With several (many) projects, the level of DSL code duplication explodes!

▸ Reuse of code through versioned libraries

ARE WE DONE?
▸ We can describe a pipeline using a DSL
▸ The pipeline is defined together with the code it builds
▸ The DSL can use libraries to reduce code duplication
?
NOT QUITE…
▸ This is not enough to really scale
▸ We still have to write some DSL
▸ Self service ✔
▸ Security ✘
▸ Simplicity ✘
▸ Extensibility ✔
PIPELINE AS… PROPERTIES
▸ Let’s describe the pipeline using a properties file
▸ Which pipeline library & which version
▸ Configuration properties - specific to the library
▸ Property file format ubiquitous
▸ No code running on the master
▸ Can be used for reporting on all the pipelines!
PIPELINE AS PROPERTIES
seed.properties
SEED PLUGIN
▸ https://github.com/jenkinsci/seed-plugin
▸ Allows to generate:
▸ projects folders
▸ branches pipelines
▸ based on seed files (properties and/or DSL)
▸ integration with hooks

HOOKS
▸ Generations can be automated using hooks at SCM level
▸ Support for GitHub, BitBucket, generic HTTP calls (for SVN)
▸ Configurable. For example:
BRANCH CREATION
SCM EVENT
Seed plug-in
COMMIT
SEED CHANGED
BRANCH DELETION
PIPELINE EVENT

Regenerates the pipeline
Deletes the pipeline

WHAT DID WE JUST ACHIEVE?▸ Automation of automation
▸ Self service ✔
▸ Pipeline automation from SCM
▸ Security ✔
▸ Project level authorisations
▸ No code on the master
▸ Simplicity ✔
▸ Property files
▸ Extensibility ✔
▸ Pipeline libraries
▸ Direct job DSL still possible
YOU CAN NOW RELAX…
DEMO TIME
▸ Bootstrapping a project
▸ Configuring the project for GitHub
▸ Creating a branch —> Branch folder generated
▸ Committing on the branch —> Pipeline started
▸ Updating the pipeline branch —> Pipeline regenerated
▸ Deleting the branch —> Branch folder gone

A GLIMPSE OF THE FUTURE
▸ Jenkins 2.0
▸ Pipeline plug-in
▸ “Pipeline as Code” in the core
▸ How does the current solution fit?
SEED & PIPELINE PLUGIN
▸ The Seed plugin will keep working
▸ It can already generate pipeline jobs (Job DSL)
▸ But overlap of functionalities
