Summary
In this chapter, we saw the various constituents that make up Jenkins and its hardware specifications. We also saw how Jenkins can be installed as a service inside a container such as the Apache Tomcat server, along with its advantages. We discussed this example because most of the real world Jenkins servers run solely on the Apache Tomcat server. We also saw Jenkins installation on Windows, Ubuntu, and Fedora as a standalone application.
The details about configuring Jenkins were kept to a minimum, as the main objective of the current chapter was to show how diverse Jenkins is when it comes to the installation process and the variety of operating systems that it supports.
