The Impact of an Automation System Built with Jenkins on the Efficiency of Container-Based System Deployment.

This paper evaluated deployment efficiency by comparing manual deployment with automated deployment through a CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins. This study involved moving from a manual deployment process to an automated system using Jenkins and experimenting with both deployment methods in a real-world environment. The results showed that the automated deployment system significantly reduced the deployment time compared to manual deployment and significantly reduced the error rate. Manual deployment required human intervention at each step, making it time-consuming and prone to mistakes, while automated deployment using Jenkins automated each step to ensure consistency and maximized time efficiency through parallel processing. Automated testing verified the stability of the code before deployment, minimizing errors. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of adopting a CI/CD pipeline and shows that automated systems can provide high efficiency in real-world production environments. It also highlights the importance of security measures to prevent sensitive information leakage during CI/CD, suggesting the use of secrecy management tools and environment variables and limiting access rights. This research will contribute to exploring the applicability of CI/CD pipelines in different environments and, in doing so, validate the universality of automated systems.
