Learn about the different tools and files that you can use to build Jenkins projects for your domain.

Oracle WebLogic Server for OKE creates an Administration load balancer (private) for your domain, which you use to access the Jenkins console and the Verrazzano consoles running on the Kubernetes cluster. Oracle WebLogic Server for OKE also creates an Application load balancer for your domain that you can use to access the applications. An NGINX ingress controller is used to route traffic from the private load balancer to Jenkins.

All Jenkins files are found on the shared file system.

  • /u01/shared/var/jenkins_home - The Jenkins controller server configuration
  • /u01/shared/scripts/pipeline - The resources used to run the sample Jenkins job, including scripts and metadata files

To access or modify these files, use the administration compute instance for your domain. This compute instance also includes the following software:

  • kubectl - Deploy and manage pods in the Kubernetes cluster for this domain.
  • docker - Download, modify, and update container images in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Registry. Use the login command to connect to the registry.
  • oci - View, create and update resources in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
