Running Jenkins in Docker
Administering Jenkins can be a fair amount of work, but you can leverage containers to make it all much, much easier. This course will teach you how to make your Jenkins administration pain-free.
What you'll learn
Jenkins is one of the premier build servers, and Docker is the new frontier for application development and delivery. In this course, Running Jenkins in Docker, you’ll learn to leverage container technologies to solve Jenkins problems. First, you’ll explore how to run Jenkins install-free as a container, and make that container totally portable. Next, you’ll discover how to dynamically scale your build agents with containerized agents that can build your software. Finally, you’ll learn how to leverage platform emulation to build for hardware architectures you don’t have hardware for. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of making Jenkins work with containers needed to make your Jenkins administration pain-free.
