Jenkins on MassiveGRID PaaS
The Jenkins DevOps Pack deploys a Jenkins controller with a set of auto-scaling build agents and pre-installed plugins on MassiveGRID PaaS. It gives teams a ready-to-use continuous integration and delivery server whose build capacity expands during busy periods and contracts when the queue is empty.
Both buttons open the MassiveGRID PaaS dashboard with Jenkins pre-selected. The trial needs no credit card.

What is Jenkins?
Jenkins is the most widely deployed open-source automation server, with more than 1,800 plugins covering every language, SCM, cloud and deployment target. Its Pipeline-as-code lets teams define builds in a Jenkinsfile alongside their source. The challenge is capacity: a single Jenkins box either sits idle or becomes a bottleneck on release day.
The package solves that with a controller node plus agent nodes that scale horizontally on load. Common plugins for Git, Docker, Maven, Gradle, Node.js and deployment are installed, and the agents come ready to run jobs. Pipelines can deploy to other MassiveGRID PaaS environments through the platform API.
What the Jenkins Package Deploys
Marketplace packages are not bare container images. One click provisions a complete, production-shaped environment on MassiveGRID infrastructure.
- Jenkins controller: The Jenkins server with the web UI, job configuration and pipeline engine, on persistent storage.
- Auto-scaling agents: Build agent nodes connected to the controller, added and removed on load triggers so jobs rarely queue.
- Pre-installed plugins: Git, Pipeline, Docker, build tools and deployment plugins configured so common jobs work without setup.
- Built-in domain and SSL: HTTPS access to the Jenkins UI immediately; attach your own domain via Let's Encrypt.
Why Teams Choose Jenkins
Elastic build farm
Agent count follows the queue, so heavy release days get capacity and idle nights cost almost nothing.
Pipeline as code
Declarative and scripted pipelines from Jenkinsfiles, with shared libraries and multibranch support.
Plugin ecosystem
Integrate any SCM, artefact store, test framework or cloud through Jenkins' huge plugin catalogue.
Deploy to PaaS
Use the platform CLI or API from pipelines to redeploy applications running on MassiveGRID PaaS.
How to Install Jenkins on MassiveGRID PaaS
Installing the package takes three steps and a few minutes of waiting. No servers to provision, no configuration files to edit.
Open the installer
Click Install with free trial or Install to my account. The MassiveGRID PaaS dashboard opens with the Jenkins package pre-selected, so nothing has to be copied or pasted.

Who Runs Jenkins on PaaS
Teams standardising on Jenkins
Organisations with existing Jenkinsfiles that want managed infrastructure under them.
Java and JVM builds
Maven and Gradle projects with long compile and test phases that benefit from parallel agents.
Mixed tool-chain CI
Shops building Node.js, Python, PHP and Docker images from one server.
Why Run Jenkins on MassiveGRID PaaS
Built for uptime. Jenkins runs on MassiveGRID's high-availability platform, where every environment is covered by a 100% uptime SLA. Nodes live on redundant hosts, storage is replicated, and failed containers are restarted or migrated automatically.
Pay for what you use. Billing is hourly and per cloudlet (128 MiB RAM plus 400 MHz CPU). Vertical auto-scaling adds and removes cloudlets as load changes, so a quiet Jenkins environment costs a few dollars a month and a busy one grows without a migration. Full details are on the PaaS page.
Your choice of jurisdiction. Deploy in New York, London, Frankfurt or Singapore and keep data inside the region your users or regulators require. MassiveGRID is ISO 9001 certified and GDPR compliant, and has run hosting infrastructure since 2003.
No lock-in. The package is a standard Jelastic Packaging Standard (JPS) manifest. You keep root-level access to the containers, can export the manifest, and can move the workload to any other Jelastic-compatible platform or to your own servers at any time.
