Core Mission * Industrialize CI/CD migration using waves, playbooks, reusable templates, and validation gates to reduce delivery risk and improve consistency * Leverage Harness Jenkins Migrator to scan/analyze pipelines, convert Jenkins pipelines to Harness format, and consolidate into reusable templates (where applicable), reducing manual effort and operational risk. * Deliver controlled cutovers and stabilization while enabling governance elements (approvals, evidence capture) and controlled Jenkins decommission actions. Key Responsibilities (Migration Factory Scope) 1) Migration Intake, Inventory & Segmentation * Perform Jenkins estate discovery: inventory pipelines/jobs, Jenkinsfiles, shared libraries, credentials usage, build agents, plugins; map dependencies and owners. * Classify pipelines into complexity buckets (e.g., Quick Win/Simple, Standard/Medium, Complex) and build wave backlogs for migration execution. * Run migrator assessment to produce a conversion readiness report and list of unsupported patterns (to drive remediation plan). 2) Platform Foundation for Migration * Implement hands-on readiness required for factory execution: validate network allowlists/proxy/firewall, and ensure delegates/runners are deployed and healthy in target environments. * Configure and validate connectors for SCM, artifact repositories/registries, cloud/K8s targets, and secret stores (Vault / secrets integration where applicable). * Establish/maintain operational runbooks for delegate installation, access troubleshooting, and credential rotation. 3) Convert + Standardize via Golden Templates * Use Harness Jenkins Migrator for bulk conversion and initial YAML generation where applicable. * Refactor conversions to adopt golden templates (build/test/package/scan/deploy/notify patterns) and replace ad-hoc logic with reusable templates/modules. * Translate Jenkins constructs into Harness equivalents: o shared libraries templates/steps/stage templates o Jenkins agents delegates + build infrastructure model o credentials connectors + secrets manager 4) Remediate Gaps * Replace unsupported Jenkins plugins / Groovy patterns with Harness-native steps or agreed scripts, and convert shared-library logic into reusable templates/modules. * Integrate required enterprise toolchain hooks (e.g., artifact management, code quality gates, smoke tests), aligned to app team inputs. 5) Validate Shadow Mode & Parity Checks * Execute parallel runs (Jenkins + Harness) for validation; compare outputs (artifacts, test reports, scan outputs) and complete acceptance testing checkpoints. * Produce a validation evidence package (shadow run results + parity checks) to support cutover readiness a nd audit needs. 6) Cutover & Stabilize (Hypercare within the factory cycle) * Execute cutover by switching triggers/webhooks/notifications to Harness and keeping Jenkins as rollback for a defined period when required by the plan. * Stabilize builds by monitoring failures, tuning caching, adjusting runner sizing, and addressing recurring pipeline issues; capture improvements back into templates/playbooks. * Run wave retrospectives to update templates, playbooks, and known-issues guidance for the next wave. 7) Controlled Jenkins Decommission (Factory Exit) * Support controlled Jenkins reduction activities as defined by the migration plan: o Freeze new pipeline creation in Jenkins (new work lands in Harness) o Progressive shutdown (disable triggers jobs agents; keep read-only for audit retention) o Plugin & credential cleanup (remove unused creds, rotate secrets, lock down access) o Archive evidence (export build history/logs as required) o Terminate Jenkins infrastructure and reclaim resources Factory Delivery Model Alignment (Pods & Interfaces) * Work within a pod-based migration factory model that includes: o Platform Pod: templates, delegate strategy/connectors, enterprise integration, org/account governance, policy enforcement, service catalog enablement o Migration Pod: Jenkins inventory & dependency analysis, wave planning, pipeline migration/validation, cutover support, runbooks/handover, hypercare, and decommission support ## Related Videos - [CI/CD with Github Actions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/856-ci-cd-with-github-actions) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Give your build some love, it will give it back!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/514-give-your-build-some-love-it-will-give-it-back) - [Stop configuring infrastructure, start coding it!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/464-stop-configuring-infrastructure-start-coding-it) - [#90DaysOfDevOps - The DevOps Learning Journey](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/548-90daysofdevops-the-devops-learning-journey) ## Related Articles - [DevOps Engineer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/203-devops-engineer-salary-2023) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 162: AI careers, MCP, AWS best practices & floppy sweaters](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/571-dev-digest-162-ai-careers-mcp-aws-best-practices-floppy-sweaters) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers)
