3. Jenkins User Conference Jenkins User Conference San Francisco, Oct 2 nd 2011 #jenkinsconf Steps to Jenkins Adoption 1.Lone Wolf – developer sets it up and uses it on his own – Usually 1 master – 1 slave 2.Pack – Individual teams start relying on it within their boundaries – Usually 1 master – multiple slaves 3.Pack (Pack) – Multiple teams start to collaborate through Jenkins – Usually multiple masters – multiple slaves 4.Serengeti – People start writing their own plugins – All departments use their own Jenkins masters – Multiple masters – multiple slaves
