Jenkins Hosting in Germany
We install, migrate and operate Jenkins as a CI/CD platform - including controllers, build agents, plugins, backups, updates, monitoring and controlled deployments.
About the technology
CI/CD infrastructure instead of an unmanaged build server
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.
Jenkins for reproducible software delivery
Pipeline as Code
Version Jenkinsfiles for build, test and deployment stages alongside the application code.Isolated build agents
Run builds on dedicated, containerised or dynamically provisioned agents.Plugin governance
Inventory plugins, review dependencies and roll updates through test and production in a controlled way.SCM and registries
Connect Git platforms, webhooks, container registries, artifact stores and deployment targets.Credentials and permissions
Centralise credentials, minimise roles and secure administrative access with traceability.Build signals
Monitor queues, agents, failed jobs, storage and platform health with actionable alerts.Migration and takeover
Assess existing data and configuration, migrate them in a test run and move to managed operations through a controlled cutover.Identity and secure access
Secure SSO, roles, administrative paths and external access for the application and existing infrastructure.Backup and recovery
Back up all stateful components consistently and document the recovery path for the agreed scope.Updates, monitoring and operations
Monitor and update the application and its technical dependencies and operate them under the agreed service level.
Operations beyond installation
Operate Jenkins as a production delivery platform
Controllers, agents, plugins, credentials and target systems form one delivery chain. Operations must enable change without putting current releases at unnecessary risk.
Controller
Operate Jenkins Core, configuration, proxy and persistent state in a controlled way.Build agents
Design execution environments around toolchains, isolation and concurrency.Delivery chain
Connect SCM, registries, artifacts, notifications and deployments.Maintenance and recovery
Secure updates, monitoring, backups and restart procedures.
Area
Clear ownership of platform and pipelines
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. |
Hosting & operations
How much does Jenkins hosting cost?

Business, Priority, Production and Critical include the first covered workload in a customer environment. Further covered workloads cost €29.90, €39.90, €49.90 and €59.90 per month respectively. For monitoring-only servers, we notify within the level's window for €14.90, €19.90, €24.90 and €29.90 per server and month respectively; without a service level, during service hours.
The flexible operations allowance applies to planned work during regular service hours and expires at month end. Operations, monitoring, backups, maintenance and updates within the agreed scope do not reduce it. Additional work beyond the agreed operations and the allowance, as well as further incident work, is billed at the hourly rate of the service level of the affected environment. The standard rate applies to commissioned work without a service level. Hour packages and fixed prices have their own prices. All prices are net and exclude statutory VAT. The offers are addressed to businesses.
SLA & Service Levels →Sizing and deployment
Size Jenkins around concurrency and build load
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.
Sizing and deployment

Target architecture
Isolate builds and minimise access
A resilient Jenkins design separates user access, orchestration, execution, artifacts and deployments.
Development and releases
Commits, pull requests, manual approvals and traceable pipeline runs.
TLS and access protection
Reverse proxy, private access and restricted administration paths.
Identities and credentials
SSO or directory integration, roles and protected secrets.
Jenkins controller
Orchestration, pipeline state, job history and agent control.
Build agents
Isolated runtimes for compilers, tests, containers and deployments.
Artifacts and backup
Build outputs, caches and recoverable platform configuration.
SCM and targets
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.

VAT per 50 GB and month.
- No. WZ-IT does not limit the number of users. How many users can work smoothly at the same time depends on usage and the chosen instance size XS to XL.
- Jenkins Hosting can be cancelled monthly, with no minimum term and 30 days' notice to the end of the month.
- Germany, Switzerland and Austria are available at the same prices. All three locations are data centres without US clouds that are ISO 27001 certified within the scope of the respective data centre operator; in Germany we additionally operate with a German provider whose data centres are BSI C5 attested. A confidentiality agreement under Section 203 German Criminal Code (StGB) is also available for app hosting on request, at the German location only; the separate Section 203 Managed Cloud for professional-secrecy holders is available in Germany only.
- Yes. Besides Germany, Switzerland and Austria are available as locations, at the same prices in euros. The operator of the data centre in Switzerland is certified to ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 and sources electricity from renewable sources; the data centre in Austria is ISO 27001 certified. State the preferred location in your request; it is recorded in the proposal.
- We typically provide a production instance within a few business days after signing. For a trial, we set up a test instance, usually on the next business day; it runs free of charge for 7 days and without payment details.
- Yes. One .de domain is included with every hosting plan. Alternatively, connect your own domain or subdomain with a CNAME record.
- 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.

Networking & Provisioning
WZ-IT moved our studio infrastructure from decentralised individual devices to a central platform: every site is securely connected via VPN, new devices are onboarded automatically and an entire site is provisioned from a template, without manual steps on location. What impressed me most is the breadth and depth of their knowledge: Timo and Robin are not a typical IT provider who sets up a server and leaves. The two of them think their way into highly complex infrastructure and software topics, work through every requirement we put in front of them, and build networking, provisioning and operations so that everything fits together in the end. WZ-IT is an excellent partner for complex software, network and architecture projects.
