Practical Jenkins - Setting Up Jenkins Slaves to Run Build Jobs

This video tutorial guides viewers through the process of setting up a Jenkins slave node on a CentOS 7 system. It covers installing necessary dependencies, generating SSH keys for secure communication, and configuring the Jenkins user interface to manage nodes and security settings. The tutorial also demonstrates how to configure node settings and run a build on the Jenkins slave, ensuring successful remote execution of jobs.

What is the first step in setting up a Jenkins slave node?

• Configuring global security

• Installing dependencies

• Creating SSH credentials

• Running the build

Which command is used to generate SSH key pairs on the master node?

• CHMOD

• Java command

• SSH Keygen

• Yum install

What is the purpose of the 'authorized_keys' file on the slave node?

• To run the agent JAR file

• To configure global security

• To store the public key

• To store the private key

Which port is enabled for JNLP agents in Jenkins?

• 8080

• 50000

• 443

• 22

What label is added to the slave node for job configuration?

• Jenkins agent

• Jenkins executor

• Jenkins master

• Jenkins SSH slave

Which method is selected to launch the agent on the slave node?

• Launch agent via HTTP

• Launch agent via SSH command

• Launch agent via FTP

• Launch agent via JNLP

What is the final step to ensure the build runs on the slave node?

• Download the agent JAR file

• Generate SSH key pairs

• Add the label to the job

• Configure global security
