How Builds and Delivers in the Cloud
summary
Jenkins runs its public CI at ci.jenkins.io on Azure, building 800+ plugins and core across Linux/Windows × JDK8/JDK11, using VM agents, AKS, and Azure Container Instances so ephemeral container agents boot in ~30 seconds (vs minutes for VMs) to survive thundering herd merges that can spawn hundreds of pipelines. Infrastructure is provisioned with ARM/terraform, uses jnlp agent images and a caching proxy for Maven; Windows container support is underway and most of it works, though VM provisioning bugs still appear.
