Jenkins is a popular tool for Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) across the Software Development Lifecycle from building and testing to deploying and automation. Today, Khun Aom, Platform Services Engineer, SCB TechX reveals 5 powerful (and often overlooked) Jenkins plugins with real use cases to level up your workflow.
1. Prometheus Metrics Plugin: Improve reliability with real-time metrics like job success/failure, build duration, and agent status for faster troubleshooting and monitoring.
2. Plugin Usage: Enhance security and compliance by identifying used/unused plugins, outdated dependencies, and managing risks with better visibility.
3. Pipeline: Groovy Libraries: Automate and standardize Jenkins jobs using code, making pipelines reusable, scalable, and quick to set up.
4. Blue Ocean Plugin: A modern UI for Jenkins that offers visual pipelines and a better developer experience, perfect for those who dislike the classic interface.
