Jenkins Assignment - CC lab 08

Welcome to your jenkins assignment! This simple exercise is designed to introduce you to Jenkins and continuous integration.

Introduction to Jenkins

Jenkins is an open-source, Java-based automation tool. This tool automates the software integration and delivery process called Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD). Jenkins supports various source code management, build, and delivery tools. It provides features like Jenkins Pipelines, which make the delivery process very easy and help teams to adopt DevOps practices seamlessly.
