Workshop: Event-Driven Automation for Safe CI/CD: Integrating Prometheus and Jenkins for Automatic Rollbacks
Modern software teams rely heavily on continuous delivery (CD) pipelines to release features at high velocity. Progressive delivery techniques, such as canary and blue/green deployments help limit risk, but rollback decisions are often manual, delayed, or dependent on rigid thresholds.
In this workshop, I will demonstrate how Event-Driven Automation (EDA) with Ansible EDA, integrated with Prometheus for observability signals and Jenkins for deployment orchestration, can eliminate these gaps. Participants will explore an event-driven workflow where Prometheus alerts automatically trigger Ansible EDA rulebooks, which then instruct Jenkins to rollback failing deployments.
By the end of the session, attendees will see how treating observability as an active control plane in CI/CD pipelines improves reliability, reduces mean time to recovery (MTTR), and provides a reproducible model they can adapt in their own environments.
