Infrastructure as Code

Jenkins allows user to manage the Jenkins jobs via UI parameters.

This may introduce few problems:

  • No proper audit trail
  • No history of changes
  • Developers dependency on DepOps or System admin
  • Difficult to back and restore

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is the ability to programatically manage and provision an entire technology stack through code, rather than using manual and complex processes.

Jenkins DSL is a programatic way to implement the Jenkins jobs.

Jenkins Job DSL plugin is used to define jobs in programatic form.

DSL stands for domain specific language.

User can create multiple jobs with Jenkins DSL plugin and it comes with lots of benefits like Version Control, Audit Histroy, Peer Review, Rollback and Backup.
