Jenkins Series
Last updated: April 3, 2026
Jenkins is a widely used open-source automation server that enables teams to build, test, and deploy software continuously. With its declarative and scripted pipeline syntax, extensive plugin ecosystem, and flexible job scheduling, Jenkins covers the full CI/CD lifecycle — from simple builds to complex multi-stage delivery pipelines.
This curated series provides a comprehensive overview of Jenkins pipelines, job management, and administration. It covers core pipeline mechanics, Groovy scripting, parameterized and parallel builds, and server maintenance essentials.
