Scaling Jenkins

In the ever-evolving realm of continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD), ensuring scalability and optimal resource utilization remains paramount. This chapter revisits the Jenkins distributed build architecture, shedding light on how to best configure it for distributed workloads and scalability. We’ll delve into the intricacies of connecting Jenkins with a Kubernetes cluster, tapping into its dynamic provisioning capabilities to scale build agents as demand fluctuates. Additionally, we’ll explore the synergy between Jenkins and Azure, harnessing Azure’s prowess to dynamically provision build agents and fine-tune resource use within our CI/CD pipelines. Let us learn the secrets of scaling Jenkins seamlessly and efficiently, setting the stage for a robust and resilient CI/CD infrastructure.

In the following chapter, we will revisit the Jenkins distributed build architecture, understanding the optimal configuration for scaling and...
