Jenkins for the Appeals DevOps team.

This repo comprises 2 parts.

1. Configuration as Code (ie: jenkins-as-code)
2. Shared Libraries (ie: vars/)

jenkins-as-code

Configure an intranet application that authenticates with Github Oauth and gets those secrets from SSM

How this works?

The idea behind this is to provide an entrypoint to configure jenkins inside a VPC in AWS that is internal, but we need a repeatable configuration, so we can install the latest jenkins regularly. This configuration will be deployed from a lambda and using SSM Execution.

What do you need?

You need to create an EC2 with SSM in the role and then you can execute the cloud-init.sh in the commands section.

How will it be executed?

• The first part of this, will update the EC2 OS correctly
• We will install Java 1.8 and Jar and some dependencies
• We then remove Java 1.7
• We then install Jenkins with its repo
• We configure aws cli
• Get the cliend id and secret from SSM
• Update the Jenkins Configuration as Code Plugin file jenkins.yaml
• Install the plugins before starting since we need the Jenkins Configuration as Code Plugin to be installed
• Jenkins Configuration as Code Plugin will read the JENKINS_HOME/jenkins.yaml and execute it
• We have a jenkins configured :)

What else is needed

We need to clone this repo, to get the files in the right directory accordingly
