The Jenkins-Docker link is getting a boost from Jenkins platform vendor CloudBees.
The pairing was noted prominently during this week’s Jenkins User Conference in Silicon Valley, where Jenkins founder and CloudBees CTO Kohsuke Kawaguchi cited the symmetry. “You can maintain a very clean, homogeneous environment,” by running Jenkins with Docker, he said. If an installation features a lot of build slaves, or nodes, the same processes can be run over and over. “I know [that linking Docker and Jenkins] is something that a lot of people are interested in today.”
