Jenkins® on Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS

This offer Jenkins® on Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS provides a production-ready CI/CD automation environment featuring Jenkins and Java. This preconfigured virtual machine is optimized for high-performance orchestration, allowing teams to skip the complexities of manual installation and version-matching between the Jenkins core and its Java runtime. By leveraging Java 21, the environment benefits from modern garbage collection and improved memory management, ensuring that your automation controller remains stable and responsive even under heavy build loads.

This solution is designed for DevOps engineers, Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), and software development teams who need to establish a secure, scalable, and maintainable automation hub for building, testing, and deploying applications within the Azure ecosystem.

Typical use cases include:

• Orchestrating complex CI/CD pipelines for cloud-native applications
• Managing automated testing suites across distributed build agents
• Integrating with Azure Repos, GitHub, and GitLab for seamless source control triggers
• Facilitating continuous delivery to Azure App Service, AKS, or Virtual Machines
• Standardizing build environments to ensure "it works on my machine" consistency across the organization

Key features:

• Jenkins Pre-installed: Runs as a standard systemd service for automatic startup and easy management.
• Java (OpenJDK): Pre-configured with the latest Java LTS runtime required for optimal Jenkins stability and security.
• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base: Built on a modern, secure Linux foundation with long-term security patches.
• Azure-Optimized:Ready for rapid deployment with HTTP/HTTPS ports configured for immediate access to the Jenkins UI.
• Minimal OS Footprint:Hardened base image with minimal background packages to reduce attack surface and operational overhead.
• Azure Integration Ready: Ready to integrate with Azure services using official Jenkins Plugins for Microsoft Azure.

Technical details:

• The Jenkins service is configured to run on the default port: 8080
• Setup Wizard: After deployment, you must complete the installation by walking through the Setup Wizard. This is accessible in your browser at http://<Public-IP>:8080 (or http://localhost:8080 if using SSH tunneling).
• To retrieve the initial administrator password, run: sudo cat /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword
• The Jenkins home directory is located at: /var/lib/jenkins
• Manage the service using: sudo systemctl [status|start|restart] jenkins

Deploy a ready-to-use, high-performance Jenkins controller — purpose-built to eliminate configuration friction and accelerate your software delivery lifecycle on Azure.

Note:

To access the Jenkins web interface, ensure that your Azure Network Security Group (NSG) allows inbound traffic on port 8080.
