Jenkins Pipelines and Blue Ocean UX by Michael Neale

Michael will present on how the new Jenkins Pipelines enable Continuous Delivery, and the upcoming Blue Ocean UX changes.

Sorry for the late notice, this has been arranged last minute since Michael is in town for ScaleConf (http://scaleconf.co.nz/).

Note this is being held on Level 3 of the Todd Building, rather than our normal Level 7 room.

Presenter bio:

Michael is the co-founder and Engineering Manager for CloudBees, the Jenkins Enterprise company.

The term "pipelines" gets thrown around a lot in CI/CD these days. In this talk I will cover why it is useful to think of delivery as a pipeline, and introduce some of the ways you can use Jenkins Pipelines to do the "last mile" of deployment, as well as the packaging/testing of your bits.

From personal bitter experience I know a lot of deployment is retrying things over and over, timeouts and exponential backoff. This can be tedious and hard to test written by hand, but with pipeline tools at least that part of the heavily lifting can be done for you.
