Jenkins CI/CD Environment Setup for CartForge Commerce
Business Scenario
At CartForge, with the cloud infrastructure now secured through VPC, subnets, and route tables, the platform was ready for the next major step—automation.
The manager discovered a growing challenge:
Manual deployment processes were slow, repetitive, and increased the risk of errors, making future updates inefficient for the development team.
He assigned the responsibility to the junior DevOps engineer.
After evaluating the workflow, the DevOps engineer proposed the best solution:
Set up a robust Jenkins CI/CD environment to automate build, test, and deployment pipelines for the CartForge Commerce application.
The DevOps engineer then explained the strategy to the team:
By implementing Jenkins automation, CartForge could achieve faster deployments, continuous integration, reduced manual effort, improved delivery consistency, and a scalable DevOps workflow for long-term growth.
Pre-Lab Preparation
In this lab, you will build a basic CI/CD environment for the CartForge application using Jenkins.
You will:
-
Understand how automated pipelines work using a real-world case study
-
Set up a Jenkins server
-
Configure a pipeline for CartForge
-
Execute an automated build
By the end of this lab, you will have a working CI/CD setup that automates basic tasks.
Task 1: Setup Jenkins Server
1
Connect to Your Server
ssh -i key.pem ubuntu@your-ip
Update System
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
Install Java
sudo apt install openjdk-21-jdk -y
Verify Java
java -version
Install Jenkins
curl -fsSL https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable/jenkins.io-2023.key | sudo tee \
/usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc > /dev/null
echo deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc] \
https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable binary/ | sudo tee \
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list > /dev/null
sudo apt update
sudo apt install jenkins -y
Start Jenkins
sudo systemctl start jenkins
sudo systemctl enable jenkins
Check Status
sudo systemctl status jenkins
