Jenkins z/OS DevOps Plugin - a New Approach to Building DevOps Pipelines

(DM)

Stream: Hockenheim
Time: 10:15 - 11:15


Presentation

In this session, we would like to share our vision on DevOps on mainframes using the most modern and popular tools and approaches, such as z/OSMF REST API, Jenkins, Git, Jira, IntelliJ IDEA, and TMSs with automated testing.
The focus will be on IBA Group's latest development, the Jenkins z/OS DevOps plugin, its capabilities and role in building CI/CD processes on the mainframes.
Using a real automated pipeline as an example, we will show what a modern automation can look like and how to organize a synergy of all tools and services together, addressing the needs of each stage of the famous DevOps infinite loop.
