Watch the video to learn what is Jenkins Pipeline!
Jenkins Pipeline is a suite of plugins that supports implementing and integrating continuous delivery pipelines into Jenkins. It allows you to define your entire build, test, and deploy process as code using a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) called Groovy. This "Pipeline as Code" approach helps to create complex build workflows and maintain them in a version-controlled environment, providing better visibility, auditability, and control over the CI/CD process.

Introduction to Jenkins Pipelines
Explanation of the challenges in managing complex build and release processes with freestyle jobs.
Benefits of Jenkins Pipelines
Version Control: Pipelines are stored as code (Groovy) in a Jenkins file, allowing traceability and control over changes.
Independence: Pipelines are independent of the Jenkins server, as they are managed in a source code management server.
Extensibility: Pipelines can be extended using shared libraries and plugins.
Logical Operators: Support for conditionals, loops, and parallel execution.
Key Pipeline Terminology
Pipeline: A user-defined model of a build, test, and release process.
Node: A machine that the Jenkins controller can execute pipeline jobs on.
Stage: Logical grouping of steps within a pipeline, typically aligning with build, test, and release stages.
Steps: Individual tasks completed within a stage, such as executing a shell command.
Types of Jenkins Pipelines
Declarative Pipelines: A newer feature with richer syntactical features, making them easier to read and write.
Scripted Pipelines: The original form of pipelines, written in Groovy.
