Enhancing Jenkins Pipeline Vocabulary

In our learning journey so far, we focused on building a robust continuous integration (CI) setup by integrating Jenkins and an array of DevOps tools. Having concluded the setup phase, we now embark on a new and exciting endeavor of exploring the capabilities of Jenkins for CI. Our journey into this realm begins with an exploration of the art of writing pipeline code, a pivotal aspect that this chapter broadly addresses. Interestingly, the topic of pipeline code resonates across a broader audience, empowering both DevOps practitioners and software developers alike to orchestrate the software delivery process. It undoubtedly forms the backbone of the continuous integration, delivery, and deployment processes.

This chapter offers theoretical knowledge about the Jenkins pipeline syntax. Here, we will dive deep into the realm of Jenkins Declarative Pipeline code vocabulary where you will familiarize yourself with the various essential elements of...
