DevOps World | Jenkins World 2018

FINRA’s DevOps landscape has been rapidly evolving with our IT journey into the cloud (AWS) posing challenges for scaling and role-based security for deployments in the cloud. The demands were unprecedented with Continuous Integration and Continuous delivery on the rise leading to an upward trend of 660,000 activities using Jenkins over a year. Our story touches on the key aspects of how we provided a complete self-service model for development teams while satisfying segregation of duties in the various environments with a highly scalable and secure Jenkins in the Cloud. The benefits include -  - Rapid scaling and dynamic provisioning with ECS for an unlimited concurrency.
- Cost efficient use of the cluster that allows for dropping to zero online instances during idle periods.
- Controlled access to ECS containers and IAM application roles based on the user's LDAP role
- Manage labelling, versioning and promotion of Docker images used as Jenkins slaves.
