Featured Paper – Containerized Jenkins with ionir
Jenkins is a powerful open-source Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) platform. Running Jenkins in containers dramatically reduces the overhead associated with starting and running instances, making it easy to scale for build, test, and deployment. Using ionir as the data platform for Jenkins on Kubernetes can accelerate the CI/CD pipeline, scale builds and tests across multiple clouds more efficiently, and reduce time to delivery of business applications.
ionir Benefits for Jenkins
- Accelerates application delivery. ionir enables rapid scaling, optimizes workflows, and reduces errors, speeding the app delivery process
- Eliminates Multiple Hardware Silos. ionir shares COTS servers with Jenkins and other Kubernetes apps. In typical configurations, only additional media capacity is required, resulting in significant CAPEX savings over external storage
- Reduces Administration. ionir is orchestrated and runs under Kubernetes, and is managed by the same tools that manage applications and Jenkins. This eliminates the need for separate storage and data management, significantly reducing operational complexity and administrative costs
This document describes four use cases associated with Jenkins, and describes the benefits and best practices for using ionir to optimize these use cases.

Praise for ionir
"Ionir offers a unique solution to the data persistence, protection, and mobility challenges inherent in running stateful applications on Kubernetes."
"Container-native storage holds real promise for ensuring Kubernetes data persistence, while enabling convergence and automation of myriad data protection and management services IT typically has to cobble together now."
"Cloud is omnipresent, offering benefits to clients like faster time to market, ease of use, etc. However, data mobility does present a few challenges, which is what ionir manages successfully. We look forward to working closely with their team to enable our global clients to navigate multi-cloud environments seamlessly."
"A new DevOps Kubernetes Container Storage Platform is needed that can allow data instances to be orchestrated like applications using Kubernetes with the DevOps toolchains – a concept ionir has pioneered."
"The core technology behind ionir was 8 years in development. Two intersecting areas of innovation set the approach apart from all other attempts at container native data and storage management. First is a new approach to metadata that allows instant mobility of data in both place and time. The second is a microservices architecture that isolates core processing from external interfaces enabling extensibility and scale."
