Using Jenkins for your DSC CI Pipeline
summary
Jenkins watches GitLab commits, runs Pester unit tests (202 passed, 22 skipped), then generates DSC MOF files, builds a sandbox environment via VMware + PowerCLI and injects MOFs, and tears the VMs down. Pipeline uses the Jenkins Pipeline Groovy syntax, GitLab and plugins, compresses modules for transfer, records test results back to GitLab, and aborts on failures (demo shows runs that stop when Pester fails or vCenter/clustering names are wrong). The end-to-end build and cleanup succeed when infra services cooperate.
