Jenkins LTS CI/CD server on hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS for Azure
Jenkins LTS on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
A production-ready Jenkins LTS automation server on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, built and hardened for the Azure Marketplace. Jenkins is installed from the official Jenkins repository on OpenJDK 21, enabled as a systemd service, and ready at the standard web port on first boot.
Who this is for: DevOps and platform teams who need a dedicated Jenkins CI/CD controller on Azure without hand-installing the server and its Java runtime.
Target industries: ISVs, enterprises with established Jenkins pipelines, and any team standardizing CI/CD on Jenkins.
Value proposition: Standing up a secure, patch-current Jenkins controller on Azure means installing Java, adding the Jenkins repo, and hardening the host. This image does that for you:
- Jenkins LTS on OpenJDK 21 — installed from the official Jenkins repository and running as a managed systemd service; complete the standard setup wizard to add plugins and your first admin user
- Monthly patched & hardened — rebuilt each month from the upstream base with the latest OS security updates; hardened to Microsoft's Azure Marketplace certification standards before any version is published
- Ready to run — the service is installed, enabled, and configured to start on boot, so the VM is productive minutes after deployment instead of after a manual install
- Audit trail per release — build and certification evidence retained for every published image version, available for compliance audits and change-management documentation
Plans available:
- Jenkins LTS on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS — Gen2 — Trusted Launch-capable Gen2 VM image; free image (standard Azure compute and storage rates apply). Jenkins is open-source software under the MIT License.
Supported software and integrations: Jenkins plugin ecosystem, Git/GitHub/GitLab/Azure Repos, Docker, Azure Container Registry, Azure Monitor, Azure Virtual Network.
Recommended deployment: Standard_D2ads_v6 or larger for the controller; Premium SSD for the Jenkins home volume. Front the web UI with Azure Application Gateway or a reverse proxy with TLS; run builds on separate agent VMs for scale.
