A CI/CD (Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery) pipeline using Jenkins and Docker is a powerful way to automate software development workflows. Here's a quick guide:

🚀 Key Benefits

  • Consistency: Docker ensures environment uniformity across development, testing, and production
  • Scalability: Jenkins orchestrates parallel builds and deployments
  • Reproducibility: Immutable infrastructure with Docker containers

📌 Implementation Steps

  1. Install Jenkins
    Download Jenkins

  2. Create Docker Images
    Use Dockerfiles for application packaging
    Learn Docker basics

  3. Configure Jenkins Pipeline
    Define Jenkinsfile with Docker integration 

    pipeline {
  agent { docker { image 'maven:3.8.6' } }
  stages {
    stage('Build') { steps { sh 'mvn clean package' } }
    stage('Deploy') { steps { sh 'docker-compose up -d' } }
  }
}

  4. Implement CI/CD Best Practices

    • Use declarative pipelines for clarity
    • Enable auto-build triggers
    • Implement rollbacks with Docker tags
