Working in an organization of nearly 400,000 people, not to mention living in a world packed with open source, the potential gain that comes from sharing code and automation practices is something I consider to be both amazing and generally unrealized. I lead a shared services at Accenture for North America and globally we have hundreds of Jenkins pipelines deploying to thousands of environments, with possibly tens of thousands of Jenkins build, test and deployment automation jobs. Sharing and re-use of code, testing, processes and technique has always been a key theme and Jenkins has been central to our approach. The DevOps Platform (https://accenture.github.io/adop-docker-compose/) has been our way to package this up. We open sourced it a year ago to extend the sharing of it, globally. It enables us to package up all of our Jenkins jobs and automation and open them up for mass sharing and collaboration (spanning open source, CloudBees and Jenkins). The result is that we start to innovate and learn even faster, collectively, achieving great things at scale.
