Over the last few years, I’ve run the gambit of CD/CI tools on my homelab and this week has found me go full circle from Jenkins to Rundeck to AWX (Ansible Tower community) back to Jenkins. AWX in its jump from 17 to 18 has stopped using docker and started using Kubernetes which means more underlying infrastructures from what I’m reading right now the “lightweight” versions of K8 install are not playing friendly with AWX. also where I’ve recently moved to work-wise, are a Cloudbees Partner (Cloudbees have no input into this blog and are not paying me any money or giving me anything to do this, I’m writing this to assist)

Once a playbook is run I’d like an alert to end up in Discord

What this breaks down to is, Jenkins is a tool in which you can use your language of choice for automating tasks and takes that code and runs it on remote servers depending on the needs of the job.
