Architecture Overview

Overview

As part of our infrastructure modernization, devops has retired the legacy Jenkins instance (https://192.168.35.62:8443) and deployed a new, modern Jenkins CI/CD platform. The old Jenkins had become severely outdated, preventing plugin installations and creating security vulnerabilities. Our new Jenkins provides a secure, up-to-date platform that automatically synchronizes with our Gitea repositories.

Why We Upgraded

Problems with Legacy Jenkins:

• Severely outdated version with unpatched security vulnerabilities
• Unable to install modern plugins due to version incompatibility
• Frequent crashes and performance issues
• High maintenance burden
