- 6. Large Installation Plugins What is it? How does it help me? Folders Enterprise -‐ Save Lme by easily organizing and Organize jobs into folders CriLcal managing hundreds of jobs -‐ By jobs, department… -‐ Secure folders by roles – keep unauthorized users away Backup Enterprise -‐ No longer maintain scripts, cron jobs to Back up Jenkins CriLcal back up Jenkins -‐ Back up Jenkins from within Jenkins -‐ Sleep peacefully – knowing that you are backing up J Custom Update Centers -‐ Eliminates downLme Host your own update centers easily -‐ Ensures binary/plugin compaLbility -‐ Specify plugins and versions of plugins between teams acceptable -‐ No painful debugging sessions, weeks -‐ Inherit from other update centers a`er check-‐ins -‐ No blame game between teams ©2012 CloudBees, Inc. All Rights 6 Reserved
- 7. Best Practice: 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 7
- 8. Large Installation Plugins What is it? How does it help me? Enterprise Validated Merges CriLcal -‐ Eliminates downLme Gate your repository -‐ No broken repository! -‐ Jenkins only merges good code -‐ Developers save Lme not running “mandatory” tests -‐ Bad check-‐in impacts just the developer and not the team. Templates Enterprise -‐ Quickly set up new jobs/builders based CriLcal Capture “sameness” of jobs on a type -‐ TemplaLze jobs, builders -‐ Instantly propagate configuraLon changes to all jobs -‐ Stop debugging configuraLon errors by shielding user from configuraLon complexity ©2012 CloudBees, Inc. All Rights 8 Reserved
- 9. Best Practice: 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 9
- 10. Best 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 10
- 11. Large Installation Plugins What is it? How does it help me? Folders Plus New -‐ Keep sensiLve team-‐specific Dedicate slaves to a folder informaLon on slave without risk of it -‐ Restrict slaves to a team or project being shared outside the team -‐ Assign dedicated resources to high priority projects Plugin Usage New -‐ ProacLvely manage plugins Track plugins -‐ Know the list of jobs that are impacted -‐ See jobs dependent on a plugin when upgrading/deleLng plugins High Availability Enterprise -‐ Eliminates downLme Standby for masters CriLcal -‐ Improves the availability of your service -‐ Survive master & hardware outages -‐ No more P1 drills to recover from -‐ Failover standby master(s) automaLcally Jenkins failure takes over on service failure -‐ No more midnight pagers – have a -‐ Do rolling upgrade of Jenkins happier married life J ©2012 CloudBees, Inc. All Rights 11 Reserved
- 12. Best Practice: High Availability Plugin • Failure detection and Reverse Proxy recovery is automatic • Multiple Jenkins masters act as backups waiting for a Jenkins Master Jenkins Master primary master failure • Can be used to do rolling Jenkins Cluster MT upgrades of Jenkins • Backup Scheduling Plugin: JENKINS_HOME (NFS) back up to the Cloud 12
- 13. Security Plugins What is it? How does it help me? Roles-‐based Access Control (RBAC) -‐ Save Lme by sejng up authorizaLon by Define roles and permissions roles and not by individual users -‐ Define roles and add users to roles -‐ Easily set up simple scenarios like -‐ Protect resources using permission project-‐based security Enterprise -‐ Protect folders, jobs using roles CriLcal -‐ Set up complex scenarios easily – like secret projects -‐ Work with any Jenkins authenLcaLon providers WikiText DescripOons -‐ Prevent XSS scripLng aZacks on publicly Use wikitext for descripKon fields exposed Jenkins instances Secure Copy -‐ Eliminates Lme wasted in manually Copy arKfacts between Jenkins instances exchanging “correct” arLfacts between -‐ Exchange arLfacts between teams teams -‐ Jobs can automaLcally fetch arLfacts from upstream ©2012 CloudBees, Inc. All Rights 13 Reserved
- 14. 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 14
- 15. Optimized Utilization Plugins What is it? How does it help me? VMWare Auto-‐scaling -‐ Save dollars by efficiently renLng pools or Use VMWare machines as slaves folders of machines instead of buying new -‐ Set up an internal cloud of machines machines -‐ Rent capacity from exisLng machines -‐ Easily increase or decrease capacity – just add machines to folders, no complex configuraLons Label ThroQled Build ExecuOon -‐ Faster builds as Jenkins uses the specified Efficiently uKlize VMs on a host machine hardware capacity of a host machine to -‐ No thrashing of oversubscribed VMs allocate jobs Fast Archiver -‐ Faster builds. Save Lme! Faster upload of archives from slaves to -‐ BeZer bandwidth usage masters -‐ Send the compressed difference of archives ©2012 CloudBees, Inc. All Rights 15 Reserved
- 16. Optimized Utilization Plugins What is it? How does it help me? Skip Next Build -‐ Save Lme handling false negaLves when Skips building for a specified period project is in a lot of “expected” churn -‐ AutomaLcally turns on building a`er the specified period Even Load Strategy -‐ Faster builds where checkout costs are Go to under-‐uKlized slave for builds comparaLve to update for repositories -‐ Replaces job allocaLon algorithm to go to under-‐uLlized slave rather than the “favorite” slave ©2012 CloudBees, Inc.
