Jenkins Pipeline, often known as Pipeline, is a set of plugins that enable Jenkins to integrate and use continuous delivery pipelines. The continuous delivery pipeline is a method for coordinating automated builds, testing, and deploys into a single release procedure. Simply described, it is the procedure for distributing software from version control to clients and users once code changes have been made.
Jenkins Pipeline (or simply “Pipeline”) is a suite of plugins which supports implementing and integrating continuous delivery pipelines into Jenkins.
A continuous delivery pipeline is an automated expression of your process for getting software from version control right through to your users and customers.
Jenkins Pipeline provides an extensible set of tools for modeling simple-to-complex delivery pipelines “as code”
