Lab 4.3 - Destroying a Service with Jenkins

For the last module we will teardown the Application Service we’ve been working with today. Destruction of Application Services is an easy step often overlooked because of the perceived complexity it takes to reverse engineer a build. Utilizing Postman and the f5-newman-wrapper this is actually a very easy step, and will be incredibly valuable to teams seeking to strive for better Application Lifecycle Management. Because Postman and Newman operate in sequential order, simply reversing the order of creation will result in the correct teardown order. Also, since we’re using the native F5 REST endpoints, all you need is a Resource with a DELETE method.

Task 1 - Teardown the Application via Jenkins

  1. Return to the Jenkins Dashboard and select New Item

    module-4-1

  2. Repeat steps 2 & 3 of task 1 in the previous lab to create the final Jenkins job

  3. Create and Execute module_4_jenkinsfile_5 to destroy our Application Service

    Pipeline Job Name: module_4_jenkinsfile_5
