Summary

JFrog Pipelines offers a seamless integration for organizations looking to transition from Jenkins-based continuous integration (CI) workflows to a more modernized CI/CD system without disrupting existing processes. As part of the comprehensive JFrog DevOps Platform, JFrog Pipelines enables the connection of current Jenkins pipelines, allowing them to continue executing essential tasks while passing control to new workflows in JFrog Pipelines. This integration is facilitated by Artifactory, the industry-standard for binary repository management, which many Jenkins pipelines already utilize for artifact storage. The platform's integrated system provides end-to-end solutions, including artifact distribution, security scanning, and automation, all managed under a unified permissions model. The example provided demonstrates how a Jenkins pipeline can build, test, and publish a Go REST application to a Docker repository, which is then deployed by JFrog Pipelines to a Kubernetes cluster, exemplifying the ease of connecting the two systems. This approach allows enterprises to maintain their existing Jenkins infrastructure while gradually adopting JFrog Pipelines, leveraging its enterprise-scale capabilities to support numerous CI/CD pipelines and streamline software delivery.
