Overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for patching the operating system and the maintenance provided by Kurian.
Jenkins is mainly used for setting up automated software builds and building CI/CD pipelines in a software development organization. However, it can also be used as a general purpose DevOps automation platform where various automation, provisioning and system maintenance tasks can be hosted and orchestrated from.
When you spin up an AWS EC2 node from Kurian's Jenkins Server AMI, Jenkins Automation Server is up and running, and fully functional. It also comes with additional tools commonly found in a DevOps toolchain that are needed to roll out various automation projects. They include:
- Docker
- Compilers OpenJDK 11 and C/C++
- Python 2.7 and 3.x
- Ansible
- Node.js
- AWS CLI
- kubectl
- Maven
- Gradle
- Git Client
At the same time, the Jenkins setup is not altered from official installation guidelines so you don't need to deal with a custom Jenkins setup for building on the baseline platform provided by this AMI. Kurian has released pre-configured software applications such as Wordpress, Jenkins, databases, LAMP stack, Ansible, DevOps tools, and monitoring applications that are widely used by system administrators and DevOps engineers. For selected Linux distributions hardened images based on CIS benchmark are also available. The Kurian AMIs are built following official installation steps so you do not need to learn any custom procedures if additional configurations need to be done.
Highlights
- Jenkins Automation Server is loaded with popular plugins that can be used to build CI/CD pipelines with very little or no additional configuration, especially if it's used in conjunction with Kurian's Jenkins Build Slave AMI.
- DevOps toolchain such as Ansible, AWS CLI and kubectl are available for using this instance as a general purpose automation server.
- Loaded with compilers and build tools to support builds in popular development frameworks - Docker, OpenJDK, C++, Node.js, Python 3, make, Maven and Gradle.
