Jenkins Concepts

Jenkins Pipeline is the primary way to describe delivery automation in Jenkins. It turns build and deployment logic into code.

Core Ideas

• Pipeline as Code through Jenkinsfile.
• Declarative or scripted pipeline syntax.
• Stages and steps.
• Agents and execution nodes.
• Shared libraries for reuse.

Practical Notes

• Keep pipeline logic in the repository.
• Use declarative pipelines for most workflows.
• Keep the controller focused on orchestration, not heavy build work.
