Summary

This blog post introduces Continuous Deployment, a process that automates the deployment of an application, using Jenkins as a CI/CD tool. The author sets up Jenkins to deploy a .NET Windows Service, using Visual Studio and Git version control. They install the necessary plugins, configure MSBuild, and add a build step for NuGet package restore before building the project. The source code is provided in a GitHub repository, where users can clone and modify it to suit their needs. The post explains how Jenkins automates the deployment process, including compiling and installing the Windows Service application, stopping and starting the service, and logging its activity to Couchbase Server.
