Jenkins - Automated Deployment



There are many plugins available which can be used to transfer the build files after a successful build to the respective application/web server. On example is the “Deploy to container Plugin”. To use this follow the steps given below.

Step 1 − Go to Manage Jenkins → Manage Plugins. Go to the Available section and find the plugin “Deploy to container Plugin” and install the plugin. Restart the Jenkins server.
