Keptn Jenkins Service

This service is designed to use Jenkins for executing various continuous delivery tasks. Thus, this service can make use of Jenkins jobs to:

• deploy a service to a particular stage
• execute tests for a deployment
• promote the deployment to the next stage

To trigger these jobs, the service has subscriptions to event channels. In more details, the current implementation of the service listens to CloudEvents from type:

• sh.keptn.events.configuration-changed: When receiving this event, the service deploys an application based on the new configuration.
• sh.keptn.events.deployment-finished: When receiving this event, the service executes a test for a deployed application.
• sh.keptn.events.evaluation-done: When receiving this event, the service verifies the evaluation to decide whether the deployment can be promoted to the next stage.

Secret for credentials

During the setup of the Jenkins, a secret is created that contains key-value pairs for the Jenkins URL, Jenkins user, and password:

• jenkinsurl="jenkins.keptn.svc.cluster.local"
• user="$JENKINS_USER"
• password="$JENKINS_PASSWORD"

The docker-jenkins folder contains a Dockerfile and all artifacts for building the Jenkins container image. Characteristics of this Jenkins image are:
