Devops 2021: The best Jenkins Plugins to have in 2021

Must Have Jenkins Plugins in 2021

Jenkins and DevOps go hand-in-hand and to make the CI/CD process a cakewalk the former provides a plethora of Plugins. To get the maximum advantage of Jenkins we need to know how and when to use the plug-in.

Let’s see how Jenkins plug-in makes the life easier for a DevOps engineer.

How does Jenkins work?

The DevOps has solved the most critical problem of application integration. The process of integration without any automation tool was really cumbersome and the most tedious part. But with Jenkins, the same process is no more a nightmare. Let’s have a look how:
✔  A team of developers (let’s call them A, B and C) check in the code in the shared repository throughout the day.
✔  Jenkins server monitors the code and prepares a build when the code commits. There are dashboard plugin to monitor the process.
✔  If the build result is successful then execute the next steps. The build fails a notification is sent to the team of developers. There are also Plugins for notification.
✔  On successful build integration, Jenkins runs the unit and acceptance tests. If everything goes well the server labels the build number. In the case of a test, failure mail is sent to the team. There are number of test plugin for such cases.
✔  Lastly, build success mail is also sent to the team.

So, we can easily say that, there is atleast one plugin for each process.
