 INTRODUCTION
What is this all about?

● Jenkins is great for CI/CD implementation.

● Ansible is a great tool for provisioning.
● Why not reuse our Ansible Roles?
● This process could be applied in different scenarios like on premises, cloud, containers,
bare metal and so on.

 TOOLS

For this lab, we are going to use:

● Vagrant + libvirt for virtualization
● Sonar Source for source code quality analysis.
● Maven
● GIT
● Nexus for artifactory repository
● Jenkins for CI/CD process flow
● Ansible for lab provisioning and application deployment

 INTEGRATION TIPS

Here some tips to avoid headaches:

● The target machines should have a Jenkins user with sudo to perform the needed
tasks.
● Prefer adding a SSH private key on Jenkins credentials and access it at the pipeline.
The target machines must have the public key.
● Install your roles before running the playbook.
● You may limit the provision on a set of hosts using the “-limit” option
