One year ago the first Jenkins 2.x release has changed the product paradigm dramatically. Now you don’t have to waste hours clicking UI buttons calling shell scripts from stage windows. Now you can do almost everything from a source code.
Frankly speaking, I wished to put together CI and CD thoughts. But the post became too large. So, I’ve got the idea to separate them and take the easier way for reading. It’s still TL/DR, but not so exhausted.
The more we grow up the more routine we have. For example, servers park includes more identical instances. The same thing matters build/release/deploy lifecycle. The more we work, the more business wants. Now typical development team needs to shape the changed software few times of day. It’s a toil.
