OneDevOps - BuildOn

Scalable Build Nodes On–demand

A container-based Continuous Integration (CI) solution that creates build infrastructure on-demand. 

Creating an ecosystem to run CI with Jenkins is a time consuming and laborious process. This involves various activities which include setting up of software, hardware, configuring Jenkins masters and slaves, analysis and installation of the necessary software’s, installing plug-ins, and providing accesses to different users.

The Jenkins ecosystem has low infrastructure utilization, limited ability to manage numerous plug-ins needed for technologies and limited scalability of build infrastructure. As a result, developers wait in long queues for committing build codes. UI based Jenkins build configurations increase vulnerability of the pipeline to any code changes. These factors increase the time-to-market and costs of CI while using Jenkins.

Cognizant OneDevOps^TM | BuildOn, based on Docker, Jenkins and Kubernetes, creates build infrastructure on-demand using virtualization and container technologies. In turn, OneDevOps^TM | BuildOn fast-tracks CI set-up, reduces consumption of infrastructure and provides unlimited scalability of build infrastructure. OneDevOps^TM | BuildOn supports technologies built on Linux.
