Next, you will gain hands-on experience of developing plugins with Jenkins UI, building the Jenkins 2.0 pipeline, and performing Docker integration. In the concluding chapters, you will install Travis CI and Circle CI and carry out scripting, logging, and debugging, helping you to acquire a broad knowledge of CI/CD with Travis CI and CircleCI.

Summary

Communicating the business value of CI/CD is very important, as this chapter has illustrated. We started this chapter by discussing the problems with communicating and talked about some strategies to communicate pain points to team members. We discussed sharing responsibilities among different team members, knowing your stakeholders, demonstrating why CI/CD is important to your stakeholders, and finally getting approval for CI/CD from your stakeholders.

The next chapter will be about getting Jenkins CI set up in your local environment. This chapter will introduce the first CI/CD tool of the book.
