Features

• Containerized Build Systems - Deploys a fully functional continuous integration and delivery server as a containerized instance.
• Containerized Server Deployments - Deploys the entire continuous integration and delivery server as a containerized instance for consistent environments.
• Build Tool Integrations - Coordinates with compilers and package managers across different technology stacks to compile and package application code.
• CI/CD Automation Servers - Serves as a centralized platform that orchestrates the building, testing, and deployment of software using distributed agents.
• CI/CD Workflows - Automates the application lifecycle through a defined sequence of build, test, and deployment stages.
• Build Execution - Executes language-specific build commands across various technology stacks to compile and package applications.
• Containerized Tooling - Provides development automation tools designed to run consistently within containerized environments via Docker.
• Continuous Integration Servers - Operates as a platform for automating software build, test, and deployment pipelines using containerized infrastructure.
• Distributed Build Execution - Implements a distributed architecture that separates the primary orchestration controller from remote agents for executing build tasks.
• Distributed Build Systems - Coordinates build tasks across a primary controller and multiple remote agents using SSH or TCP.
• Jenkins Pipelines - Defines sequences of build, test, and delivery steps using scripts or declarative files.
• Self-Hosted Deployment Platforms - Supports installation on private or on-premises networks to provide full control over the DevOps infrastructure.
• Software Release Orchestration - Provides orchestration of the complete software release lifecycle from version control to final deployment targets.
• Pipeline Domain Specific Languages - Uses a domain-specific language to define automated build, test, and deployment sequences as code.
• User Account Management - Maintains a database of authorized user accounts and identities for system access.
• Security and Access Control - Provides comprehensive security and access control settings to protect the automation server from unauthorized access.
• User Access Management - Manages granular user permissions to ensure only authorized personnel can perform specific administrative or build actions.
• Plugin-Based Architectures - Features a modular architecture that enables core functionality to be augmented via downloadable plugins.
• Data Persistence - Uses volumes to store configuration and system data, ensuring persistence across restarts and upgrades.
• Docker Volume Persistence - Uses Docker volume mapping to ensure system configuration and data survive container restarts and upgrades.
• Code Quality and Analysis - Executes static analysis and security scans to detect bugs or vulnerabilities in the codebase.
• External Tool Orchestrators - Defines locations and provides automatic installers for external tools required to execute build jobs.
• Pipeline Report Publishers - Generates and publishes HTML-based summaries of build results and test outcomes within the execution pipeline.
• Pipeline-as-Code - Provides a dedicated editor for modifying pipeline definitions to be committed directly to source control.
• Cloud Deployment - Synchronizes repositories and triggers deployment pipelines to push services to major cloud providers.
• Cloud Hosting - Supports configuring and running the automation server on cloud infrastructure such as AWS or Google Cloud.
• Configuration as Code - Defines system settings using version-controlled YAML files instead of a manual graphical interface.
• JVM Environment Variable Configurations - Allows tuning of JVM heap memory and system properties using environment variables to optimize performance.
• Jenkins Pipelines - Includes an intuitive dashboard and navigation system to monitor and manage continuous integration pipelines.
• Enterprise Scale Management - Coordinates high volumes of users and concurrent jobs to maintain performance in enterprise-grade environments.
• Execution Node Managers - Tracks and manages the lifecycle and capacity of distributed execution nodes.
• Shared Pipeline Libraries - Standardizes build processes by sharing common pipeline logic across multiple projects to reduce duplication.
• Extension Point Interfaces - Provides predefined system interfaces to modify or augment the behavior of core services.
• Feature Extension Plugins - Enables modification of system capabilities by adding, updating, or removing plugins to tailor behavior.
• Plugin Development Frameworks - Provides a structured development process to create custom functional modules and integrations.
• Plugin Managers - Includes tools for retrieving compatible plugin releases and metadata from update sites to manage extensions.
• Remote Management Agents - Establishes secure communication between the controller and remote agents using TCP, SSH, or web sockets.
• SSH Agent Launching - Connects to and manages remote build agents through Secure Shell to execute distributed tasks.
• Pipeline Credential Protections - Prevents unprivileged users from accessing sensitive credentials used within organization folders and multibranch pipelines.
• Execution Isolation - Prevents build execution on the primary controller to protect the core system from being impacted by running builds.
• Role-Based Access Control - Implements a permission system mapping user accounts to specific capabilities to restrict access to administrative functions.
• Secret Management Integrations - Integrates with external secret management services to securely provide credentials to build processes.
• Secrets and Credential Management - Provides secure storage and organization of credentials used for authenticating with third-party applications and sites.
• Manual Plugin Installations - Supports adding functionality via a manager CLI or by manually placing prebuilt plugin files into the server directory.
• Container-Based Isolation - Provides a containerized environment to ensure consistent and portable operational isolation for the server and its dependencies.
• Alert Notification Systems - Triggers alerts to external systems or users when a pipeline execution succeeds, fails, or requires intervention.
• Global System Settings - Provides centralized interfaces for adjusting global preferences and system-wide behavior for the controller.
• System Health Monitoring - Tracks resource utilization, environment details, and system logs to diagnose performance issues.
• Pipeline Execution Visualizers - Provides graphical dashboards and activity views to track current and historic pipeline run data.
• External Result Reporters - Uploads test execution data to external reporting tools and generates quality reports.
• Parallel Test Execution - Executes multiple test suites simultaneously to reduce the total time required to complete a build pipeline.
