Day 81: Jenkins Multistage Pipeline

🚀 Day 81: Jenkins Multistage Pipeline | 100 Days of DevOps Welcome to Day 81 of the 100 Days of DevOps series! In this lab, you'll build a Jenkins Multistage Pipeline that automates both application deployment and validation testing. 📌 Lab Objective: Create a Jenkins Pipeline with separate Deploy and Test stages to deploy a static website and verify that it is accessible through the Load Balancer. 🛠️ Task Requirements: Repository & Application Setup Repository: sarah/web Update index.html Content: Welcome to xFusionCorp Industries Push changes to the master branch Jenkins Agent Configuration Agent Name: App Server 1 Label: stapp01 Remote Root Directory: /home/sarah/jenkins_agent Launch Method: SSH User: sarah Ensure Java 17 is installed Pipeline Job Job Name: deploy-job Type: Jenkins Pipeline (not Multibranch) 💻 Pipeline Stages 🔹 Deploy Execute on Jenkins agent stapp01 Deploy code from repository Publish content to: /var/www/html Use App Server 1 as the deployment target 🔹 Test Verify application availability Validate deployment success Test application through: http://stlb01:8091 Fail the pipeline if deployment or website validation fails 💻 What You'll Configure & Verify: 🔹 Configure Jenkins SSH agent 🔹 Build a multi-stage Jenkins pipeline 🔹 Deploy website automatically 🔹 Run post-deployment validation tests 🔹 Verify application accessibility through Load Balancer 🔹 Implement deployment quality checks 🔹 Ensure pipeline fails on validation errors 🔹 Automate deployment and testing workflow 📚 What You'll Learn: Jenkins Pipeline fundamentals Multi-stage CI/CD workflows Jenkins Agent configuration Automated application deployment Post-deployment testing Pipeline failure handling Load Balancer validation DevOps deployment best practices 🌟 Why This Lab Matters: Modern CI/CD pipelines do more than deploy applications—they also validate deployments automatically. Multi-stage pipelines help teams catch issues immediately after deployment and ensure only healthy applications reach production. 🎯 Series: 100 Days of DevOps Build practical Jenkins, Git, Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, Cloud, Networking, CI/CD, and DevOps skills through real-world hands-on labs. 🔔 Follow OtterTech for more Jenkins, AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, Linux, Automation, and DevOps tutorials! #Jenkins #DevOps #CICD #JenkinsPipeline #Automation #Git #Linux #Apache #ContinuousDeployment #Pipeline #Testing #LoadBalancer #JenkinsAgent #100DaysOfDevOps #OtterTech #Day81
