Jenkins Pipeline
Jenkins Pipeline
Prerequisites:
Jenkins server
Kubernetes cluster
Argo CD
Steps:
2.1 In Jenkins, create a new pipeline job and configure it with the Git
repository URL for the Java application.
2.2 Add a Jenkinsfile to the Git repository to define the pipeline stages.
Stage 1: Use the Git plugin to check out the source code from the Git
repository.
Stage 2: Use the Maven Integration plugin to build the Java application.
Stage 3: Use the JUnit and Mockito plugins to run unit tests.
Stage 4: Use the SonarQube plugin to analyze the code quality of the
Java application.
Stage 5: Use the Maven Integration plugin to package the application into
a JAR file.
Set up a Git repository for Argo CD to track the changes in the Helm
charts and Kubernetes manifests.
Create a Helm chart for the Java application that includes the Kubernetes
manifests and Helm values.
Add the Helm chart to the Git repository that Argo CD is tracking.
6.2 Update the Jenkins pipeline to include the Argo CD deployment stage.
7.1 Trigger the Jenkins pipeline to start the CI/CD process for the Java
application.
7.2 Monitor the pipeline stages and fix any issues that arise.
This end-to-end Jenkins pipeline will automate the entire CI/CD process for a
Java application, from code checkout to production deployment, using
popular tools like SonarQube, Argo CD, Helm, and Kubernetes.
