Jenkins Pipeline

The Jenkinsfile in this repository is a declarative Jenkins Pipeline that automates the deployment of Ansible playbooks for both Nginx and MongoDB configurations. Here is an explanation of the stages and their purpose:

1. Preparing: A preliminary stage to set up the environment.

2. Git Pulling: This stage pulls the latest changes from the repository.

3. Playbook Initializing: An intermediary stage for initialization.

4. Playbook Running: The main stage that runs the Ansible playbook based on user parameters. The pipeline provides two parameters: "Playbook Name" and "Playbook Action."

   • The "Playbook Name" parameter allows you to specify the name of the Ansible playbook you want to execute, such as "nginx" or "mongodb."
   • The "Playbook Action" parameter offers two choices: "Dry-Run" and "Playbook-deploy." A "Dry-Run" lets you perform a test run without making any changes, while "Playbook-deploy" actually applies the configuration changes.

   Depending on the selected action, the corresponding Ansible playbook will be executed.

5. Playbook Deployed: A final stage to indicate that the deployment is complete.
