Scaling Network Connections from the Jenkins Master

Large Jenkins installations should use agents to distribute build load. Yet the master can still receive and send lots of data over the network channel to agents, causing scalability issues as build logs, artifacts and test results are streamed. New tools can help you identify protocol-specific load issues coming from the Jenkins core or various plugins. Jenkins core developers are also working on alternate cloud storage for some of this data, permitting it to be streamed directly to or from the agent so that the master need only handle metadata. Come learn how these tools and features can help you manage performance-critical installations.

Having A Talk With Jenkins

With smart speakers and voice assistants gradually becoming a part of our day-to-day life, it's necessary to provide a voice-based interface to interact with Jenkins. From starting a build pipeline to retrieving build statuses to managing a job, there are a number of commands you can give Jenkins and things you can ask Jenkins to do.

I will walk you through how I created Google Home Actions, DialogFlow agent and GCP Cloud Functions webhook, in order to support these various Jenkins commands. I will then demonstrate these voice-based interactions by talking to Jenkins, via a Google Home device, in multiple languages.

Ever wanted to find out how to start a Jenkins build in Japanese? German? Chinese? Now you can!

Jenkins FOMO - What is Everyone Else Doing?

Are you using Jenkins, but constantly wondering how other users and admins are doing things? You may have Jenkins FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Karen and Alex are in the unique position of working with hundreds of Jenkins users from a variety of levels and industries and are here to make sure you don’t miss out. From organizational structures to technical tips and tools, they will take a step back from the day-to-day to present big picture trends across the CI/CD world to help us learn from successes (and mistakes!) across the community (hint: topics like moving to containers, building shared services teams, increasing Jenkins usage, managing pipelines in SCM, organizing multi-master environments).

Jenkins X: Continuous Delivery for Kubernetes

The last 5 years have seen a huge change in how we build, package, run and manage software with the rise of Kubernetes, Cloud Native, Microservices and Continuous Delivery. As a result, we all need to get better at delivering business value to our customers faster and continuously with a cloud native strategy - but how?
This talk will introduce you to a new open source project, Jenkins X which is an open source CI / CD platform for Kubernetes based on Jenkins.
After a couple of slides we'll spend most of the talk demonstrating how to get stuff done with Jenkins X:

easily setup your own Jenkins based CI / CD system on your cloud of choice
quickly get started developing new microservices with automated CI / CD
import existing projects with automated CI / CD
use Pull Requests to trigger CI, Preview Environments, human approval then a full CD release
use automated provisioning to testing, staging, ephemeral and production environments via helm charts and GitOps

After this talk you should be able to develop at full speed with CI / CD in a cloud native way in any language on any cloud or kubernetes cluster! Lets all go faster!

Ephemeral Jenkins: Designing for the Future

Do Jenkins upgrades scare you? Do you have jobs that you no longer use or don't even know what they are for? Do upgrades of software take days vs. hours, because you don’t know what’s actually using that old version of Java 6? As we become more dependent upon Jenkins, we need to understand everything on it and all the changes being made to it. Having automation to build Jenkins out is one thing, but practicing it is another. There are plugins to generate your jobs from source, but how often do you run them? The more static your environment remains the harder it becomes to make a change. My talk will discuss what you need to start thinking about and the steps you can take to bring your Jenkins into the future!

Robust Unit Testing of Pipeline Code with Spock

Jenkins Pipeline feature introduces the notion of pipeline as code. If it's code, it needs unit tests, right? Right. HomeAway has developed a Jenkins Pipeline extension for the industry-standard Spock unit testing framework for Groovy. This extension enables complete and intuitive testing, mocking, stubbing and verification of code written in Jenkins Pipeline DSL. Whether you need to unit test helper functions in your Jenkinsfile or just verify that a few key steps happen in the right way, you can use all of the Spock idioms to add validation of your pipeline as code to your software's lifecycle.

Hybrid Cloud Continuous Delivery

The growth of Azure, Amazon and Google as cloud infrastructure providers has been a boon for consumers, but has meant that solution providers need to test their products in multiple environments. This explosion in scenarios demanded a hybrid approach that extends beyond running a few agents in each cloud. We discuss the paths, missteps and standout experiences in the deployment of Kubernetes-based continuous delivery services across Azure, AWS and Google - including continuous integration/continuous delivery and technologies such as Terraform, Vault, Ansible and Go that have served us well - including the trade-offs we faced between security, performance and delegation of capability to our engineering teams.

Implementing Container Security Across Your Delivery Pipeline

Continuous delivery helps to keep your software and Docker images updated and to easily deploy new versions of software to production. Microservices are great at reducing the attack vector and limiting the privileges or credentials access to each piece of your application. Containers provide an opportunity to implement better security, small, inmutable, single process and purpose.

In this session, we will discover real use case examples on how to make your continuous integration/continuous delivery pipeline interact with Docker security tools. But security doesn’t stop where your deployment pipeline ends. How can we prepare for zero-day vulnerabilities and policy violations that happen at runtime? Can we make it part of the CI/CD process?

Simplifying Pipeline Adoption Through Portals

Developers want to develop applications. They do not want to spend time on their application pipeline. At Liberty Mutual, we created the Fusion Portal to enable users to easily create pipelines in Docker on AWS in minutes. Leveraging shared libraries, the process handles creation of the Jenkinsfile, Jenkins job and Bitbucket hooks. Developers are delivered a fully-functional, customized Jenkins pipeline without ever logging in to Jenkins itself. Should they choose to do so, developers have the ability and access to customize their pipeline. This portal has driven massive adoption of Jenkins pipelines and dramatically increased the pace of innovation.
