Jenkins me Job ke types

1. Freestyle Job

Ye Jenkins ka basic job type hai.

Use cases:

• Limited flexibility

Example:

• Git repo clone

• mvn clean install

• java -jar app.jar

2. Pipeline Job

Ye modern aur recommended job type hai.

Isme pipeline code ke form me hoti hai (Jenkinsfile).

Features:

• Pipeline as code

• Test

• Package

• Deploy

3. Multibranch Pipeline Job

Is job type me Jenkins:

• Har branch ke liye alag pipeline banata hai

• Jenkinsfile automatically detect karta hai

Best for:

Use:

• Team-wise jobs

• Project-wise jobs

---

Jenkins Job trigger types

• Manual trigger

• Git webhook (code push)

• Scheduled time (cron)

• Another job ke baad

Example cron:

H/5 * * * *

Jenkins Job configuration ke main parts

Source Code Management

• GitHub / GitLab repo

• Branch selection

Build Triggers

• Webhook

• Poll SCM

• Schedule

Build Steps

• Shell scripts

• Maven / Gradle

• Docker commands

Post-build Actions

• Email notification

• Artifact upload

• Deployment

• CI process automate karta hai

• CD process control karta hai

• Human error kam karta hai

• Fast delivery enable karta hai

Without jobs, Jenkins ka koi use nahi hota.

Real-world example

Ek Jenkins job:

• GitHub se code uthata hai

• Maven se build karta hai

• Docker image banata hai

• Kubernetes me deploy karta hai

Sab kuch automatically.
