In the previous section, we created a Jenkins pipeline to get a look at and feel for its various components. We utilized the pipeline script that followed a declarative syntax to define our pipeline.

In this section, we will learn about the Declarative Pipeline syntax in a bit more detail. This is important because in the upcoming chapters we will be using the same to define our CI and CD pipelines.
