Scenario based Jenkins Questions :
1. Imagine you have a Java project that needs continuous integration. Walk me through how
you would create a Jenkins pipeline for this project?
2. You're integrating Jenkins with several third-party tools (like JIRA, Git, Docker). How do
you ensure smooth integration and handle any authentication or permission issues?
3. You notice one of your Jenkins pipelines is running slower than expected. How would you
go about diagnosing and optimizing it?
4. During a deployment pipeline, one of the stages fails. How would you troubleshoot the
issue using Jenkins logs and other relevant tools?
5. The number of projects and builds in your Jenkins environment is increasing rapidly,
leading to performance issues. Describe how you would scale Jenkins to handle this
growth?
6. Explain how you would use Jenkins to automate the building and deployment of Docker
containers?
7. What strategies would you employ to backup Jenkins configurations and ensure quick
recovery in case of a server failure?
8. You need to add a custom feature to your Jenkins pipeline that isn't supported by default.
How would you find or develop a suitable plugin for this?
9. Assume that in Jenkins have running more number of jobs but with some requirement
need to install some plugins and restart the Jenkins.What would you do to restart without
disturbing running jobs ?
10. Jenkins pipeline build is stuck in a specific stage. What steps would you take to diagnose
and resolve the issue?
11. A Jenkins job triggered by a webhook from a version control system (e.g., GitHub) is not
starting. How would you troubleshoot and fix this issue?
12. Explain that a cron job in Jenkins is a scheduled task that runs at specific intervals defined
by cron syntax?
13. How would you schedule a Jenkins job to run every day at 3 AM?
14. Jenkins is unable to send email notifications for build results. How would you diagnose
and fix email notification issues in Jenkins?
15. Jenkins is unable to provision Docker containers on Jenkins agents due to Docker daemon
connectivity issues. How would you troubleshoot and fix Docker integration problems in
Jenkins pipelines?
16. Jenkins is used for deploying applications to production, and a deployment job failed due
to a configuration error. How would you ensure reliable and rollback-capable deployments
using Jenkins?
