Controller
Operate Jenkins Core, configuration, proxy and persistent state in a controlled way.

We install, migrate and operate Jenkins as a CI/CD platform - including controllers, build agents, plugins, backups, updates, monitoring and controlled deployments.
Companies worldwide trust WZ-IT
The following are trademarks of their respective owners: Jenkins (the Jenkins project and The Linux Foundation). WZ-IT is an independent service provider and has no business, partnership, or contractual relationship with these companies. We offer independent migration, installation, hosting, and operations services.

Jenkins automates builds, tests and deployments, but every plugin, agent and credential makes it more critical to production. Stable operations require explicit versions, reproducible pipelines and isolated execution environments.
We install new Jenkins environments, take over existing instances and connect source control, registries, artifacts, notifications and deployment targets. Application code and release approvals remain with your development team; WZ-IT owns the agreed platform operations.
WZ-IT operates controllers, agents, plugin infrastructure, credential storage, backups and monitoring. Your team defines build logic, tests, release approvals and business deployment targets.
Before takeover, we review plugin dependencies, Jenkins version, agent topology, secrets, job configuration and recovery. Critical legacy states are moved into an agreed migration path.
Controllers, agents, plugins, credentials and target systems form one delivery chain. Operations must enable change without putting current releases at unnecessary risk.
Operate Jenkins Core, configuration, proxy and persistent state in a controlled way.
Design execution environments around toolchains, isolation and concurrency.
Connect SCM, registries, artifacts, notifications and deployments.
Secure updates, monitoring, backups and restart procedures.
Technical Jenkins operations and business delivery logic are separated so that every change has a clear owner.
| Area | Responsibility | Scope and boundaries |
|---|---|---|
| Jenkins controller | WZ-IT | Installation, baseline configuration, updates, monitoring and backup. |
| Build agents | WZ-IT | Provisioning and maintenance of the agreed agent runtimes and capacity. |
| Plugins | Shared | WZ-IT reviews technical compatibility; your team confirms required capabilities. |
| Pipelines and tests | Customer | Jenkinsfiles, tests, approvals and release logic remain with the development team. |
| Credentials | Shared | WZ-IT protects storage; the customer defines owners, targets and permissions. |
| Migration and optimisation | Optional WZ-IT service | Freestyle jobs, legacy plugins and static agents can be modernised incrementally. |
Version Jenkinsfiles for build, test and deployment stages alongside the application code.
Run builds on dedicated, containerised or dynamically provisioned agents.
Inventory plugins, review dependencies and roll updates through test and production in a controlled way.
Connect Git platforms, webhooks, container registries, artifact stores and deployment targets.
Centralise credentials, minimise roles and secure administrative access with traceability.
Monitor queues, agents, failed jobs, storage and platform health with actionable alerts.
Assess existing data and configuration, migrate them in a test run and move to managed operations through a controlled cutover.
Secure SSO, roles, administrative paths and external access for the application and existing infrastructure.
Back up all stateful components consistently and document the recovery path for the agreed scope.
Monitor and update the application and its technical dependencies and operate them under the agreed service level.
A clearly defined operating scope instead of an opaque hosting flat fee.
We set up a test instance for you, usually on the next business day. No payment details required. After seven days it is deleted unless you continue.
We combine the right compute size with ongoing operations, backups, monitoring and a service level appropriate for the criticality of Jenkins. High availability and recovery targets are designed separately where needed.
We also design custom hosting architectures, integrations and migrations around Jenkins. Contact us for a technical assessment.
One managed standard Jenkins application is included in the Starter workload. Business and higher levels add a flexible operations allowance for planned work during regular service hours. Select compute, additional applications, storage and the appropriate service level.
A workload is one compute instance with the applications agreed for it.
One standard app per workload is already included. Additional dedicated servers count as separate workloads.
€79.90 per started TB and month, including daily encrypted offsite backup with 7-day retention.

Briefly describe the current state and objective for Jenkins. We assess infrastructure, integration, and ongoing operations.
Concurrent jobs, toolchains, artifacts and CPU-, memory- or I/O-intensive builds determine capacity more than the number of users.
| Usage scenario | Technical starting point | Key factors |
|---|---|---|
| Small pipeline estate | 1 controller + 1 to 2 agents | A few repositories and predictable build times. |
| Multiple teams and parallel builds | Separate controller + agent pool | Queues, caches and agent capacity are measured. |
| Container or mobile builds | Workload assessment | Storage, Docker, signing and specialist toolchains drive requirements. |
| Business-critical delivery | Platform assessment | Recovery, staging, maintenance windows and replacement capacity are designed. |
The calculator covers an operated standard controller at the selected compute size. Additional agents, high build load, specialist toolchains, legacy plugins and migration are added after technical discovery.
Jenkins should reach source code, registries and targets securely without opening unnecessary administrative network paths.
Controllers and agents as a managed, customer-specific CI/CD environment.
Operations in your existing cloud account with access to internal development resources.
Jenkins close to internal repositories, build systems or deployment targets.
Distribute controllers and specialist agents over controlled private links.
A resilient Jenkins design separates user access, orchestration, execution, artifacts and deployments.
Commits, pull requests, manual approvals and traceable pipeline runs.
Reverse proxy, private access and restricted administration paths.
SSO or directory integration, roles and protected secrets.
Orchestration, pipeline state, job history and agent control.
Isolated runtimes for compilers, tests, containers and deployments.
Build outputs, caches and recoverable platform configuration.
Webhooks, registries, package sources and approved deployment targets.
Build agents execute external or changing code. Network permissions, credentials and isolation are therefore designed for each pipeline class.
Answers about takeovers, plugins, agents, backups and responsibilities.
Yes. We review versions, plugins, jobs, credentials, agents, backups and known technical debt, then produce a safe migration and maintenance plan.
Platform operations are covered. Changes to build logic, tests or deployments can be agreed as a separate DevOps capacity.
We record dependencies, back up state, test critical updates in a pre-production stage where possible and deploy with a rollback plan.
Yes. Static, containerised and dynamic agents are possible. The right model depends on toolchain, isolation, start-up time and build load.
At minimum, configuration, job and pipeline state, relevant credential structures and restart documentation. Artifacts and caches are assessed separately by their actual recovery value.
As an alternative to managed hosting in the data centre, WZ-IT provides the hardware, configures Jenkins, and handles hardening, monitoring, updates, backup and technical support. Access can be limited to the internal network or enabled through VPN and existing identities.

No risk: worst case, you leave with a clearer understanding of your project than before.


“WZ-IT's advice on our Azure migration was technically sound and completely non-binding right from the intro call - we took away a great deal.”
Whether a specific IT challenge or just an idea - we look forward to the exchange. In a brief conversation, we'll evaluate together if and how your project fits with WZ-IT.
