Jenkins Dynamic Build Agents

Jenkins is one of the most widely adopted CI/CD platforms in the world. The Parallels DevOps Jenkins Plugin enables ephemeral build agents—virtual machines that are created on demand when Jenkins detects queued work, run a single build, and are automatically destroyed when finished.

With this plugin, you can:

• Provision macOS, Windows, and Linux agents dynamically from golden images using the catalog service of Parallels DevOps Service - Scale your build fleet elastically to match workload demand - Ensure build isolation by giving each job a fresh, clean VM - Reduce costs by only running VMs when builds are actively executing Before you begin: This tutorial assumes you have a working Parallels DevOps Service instance. If you haven’t set it up yet, complete the DevOps CLI Quick Start tutorial first.
