Jenkins:-Java-based Jenkins is a server for achieving continuous integration in an automated manner through the orchestration of a sequence of actions.
Docker:-A containerization platform open-source, Docker is a software application for building containers.
Advantages of Jenkins and Docker:-
Below mentioned are some of the benefits of Jenkins:
Jenkins is quite suitable for start-ups as it is completely open-source.
Modifications can be made as needed.
It is very adaptable as it allows deploying and automating in different parts with the help of its huge plugin system.
It is easy to install.
Once configured, it can pull codes from GitHub, BitBucket, whenever a commit is made.
Some of the benefits of Docker are as below:
Easily portable, as after testing, the containerized applications can be deployed to other systems where Docker is running.
It is secured as it gives us complete control over the traffic flow of isolated containers.
It is light, as Docker images are typically small and therefore deployed rapidly, saving a lot of time.
Developers, with the help of Docker, can use multiple versions of the same programming languages.
It is entirely scalable as new containers can be created if the application demands them.
Disadvantages of Jenkins and Docker:-
Below mentioned are some of the disadvantages of Jenkins:
Jenkins is unable to follow the Salesforce metadata type.
To minimize system failures, sandboxes are used by a majority of organizations. Jenkins does not provide any supportive frameworks to manage these sandboxes.
Some of the cons of Docker have been explained below:
Speed issues happen as containers consume more resources than virtual machines. If a user is expecting 100 percent bare-metal performance, they need to use bare metals, not containers.
Docker is platform-dependent as it uses virtual machines to run on non-Linux platforms.
