Implementing Automated Deployment Through a Jenkins Pipeline
Jenkins Pipeline is a powerful tool for implementing continuous delivery. In order to fully utilize Jenkins Pipeline, you will need to implement an automated deployment. This learning activity will guide you through the process of deploying code as part of a Jenkins pipeline. After completing this exercise, you will have a basic familiarity with what automated deployment using Jenkins Pipeline looks like.

Challenge
Deploy the App to the Staging Server Via the Jenkins Pipeline
- Configure the staging and production servers for the Publish Over SSH plugin.
- Add a credential to Jenkins called
webserver_login
to allow Jenkins to authenticate with the web servers. The user has already been created on the web servers with the usernamedeploy
and the passwordjenkins
. - Create a Multibranch Pipeline project called
train schedule
and set it up to build from your GitHub fork. - Create a stage in the
Jenkinsfile
to deploy the app to the staging server. For an example, check theDeployToStaging
stage in the sample solution Jenkinsfile. - Run the build to deploy to the staging server.

Challenge
Deploy the App to the Production Server Via the Jenkins Pipeline
- Create a stage to deploy to production after awaiting user input. For an example, check the
DeployToProduction
stage in the sample solution Jenkinsfile. - Run the build.
- Approve the deployment to production.
- Create a stage to deploy to production after awaiting user input. For an example, check the
