JUC Europe 2015 - Orchestrating Your Pipelines with Jenkins, Python and the Jenkins API

By: Pradeepto K. Bhattacharya, MSys-Clogeny

Do you have complex pipeline scripts that you run for your continuous integration (CI)? Do you want to access Jenkins from those scripts? What about searching and accessing the artifacts? Or would you like to block a job until something has finished correctly? Interact with slaves? Would you like to have some kind of synchronization between your jobs and pipeline scripts and yet keep the your job configurations as simple as possible? This talk is about you getting more programmatic control of your Jenkins instance from your pipeline scripts using the Python API. We will look at the power of the API by showing working code examples and demoing the results. This talk will be very friendly to Jenkins beginners and intermediates alike. We will walk through the concepts and actual code during the presentation.
