About this Hands-on Lab

In this lab, you will be provided with a server that has Jenkins pre-installed but not fully configured.

As part of this lab, you will need to configure it for first use. Once configured and you can access the GUI, you will create a job that performs a task.

Once created, you will then run that job to ensure it works and produces output.
