Automating and Orchestrating Networks with NetDevOps

Chapter 4

How to Implement NetDevOps Pipelines with Jenkins

In this chapter, you will find practical implementations of Jenkins pipelines applied to networking. This chapter builds on what you learned in Chapter 3, “How to Implement CI/CD Pipelines with Jenkins,” to implement the use cases presented in Chapter 2, “Getting Started with NetDevOps.” We’ll start with examples and demonstrations of the most commonly used stages, including the following:

• Retrieving code from source control

• Testing and linting code

• Pausing for user input

• Rolling back in the case of failure

• Chaining different pipelines

We’ll finish by combining these individual stages into pipelines that address the most common NetDevOps use cases, such as network provisioning, configuration, ...
