Jenkins is an open source automation server that supports continuous integration and continuous delivery. It allows organizations to accelerate their software development process through automation by monitoring code repositories for changes, automatically building code, running tests, and deploying changes. Jenkins has features like distributed builds, plugin support for version control systems and notifications, and it provides security through access control and protection from external threats.

2. What is Jenkins?
Jenkins is an open integration tool written in Java.
With Jenkins, organizations can accelerate the software development
process through automation.
You can set up Jenkins to watch for any code changes in places like SVN and
Git, automatically do a build with tools like Ant and Maven, initiate tests and
then take actions like rolling back or rolling forward in production.

3. Section Title
Jenkins manages and controls development lifecycle processes of all kinds
including build, document, test, package, stage, deployment, static
analysis and many more.

4. What can Jenkins do?
Generate test reports
Integrate with many different Version Control Systems
—Push to various repositories
—Deploys directly to production or test environments

5. Features
Easy install, upgrade and configuration.
Distributed builds-Most powerful feature.
No limit to the number of jobs.
Monitoring external jobs.

6. Features
Plugin Architecture: Supports for various version control systems,
authentication methods, workflow building.
Enhanced Notification System.
Machine-consumable remote access to API to its functionalities.

8. Facts
Jenkins is used in server-side programming.
It is Open source automation server.
The community managing the Jenkins project is very open.
Also supports various versions of Docker.

10. Security
The basic security is using the Configure Global Security .
Jenkins' security depends on two factors:
1] Access control
2] Protection from external threats

11. Security
Access Control
Access control can be customized via two ways:
Security Realm, which determines users and their passwords, as well
as what groups the users belong to.
Authorization Strategy, which determines who has access to what.

12. Security
Protection from External Threats
CSRF Protection — prevent a remote attack against Jenkins running
inside your firewall
Security implication of building on master— protect Jenkins
master from malicious builds
Slave to Master Access Control— protect Jenkins master from
malicious build agents

13. Conclusion
Jenkins is a conceptual tool used in OS.
It runs on the concept of Continuous Integration and Continuous
Deployment.
There can also be a several alternative to Jenkins.
Further enhancements and innovations in Jenkins will definitely
make it a renowned tool in days to come.
