In a pipeline that requires dynamic parameters (e.g., selecting branches or environment variables), how do you set this up in Jenkins? Can you provide examples of parameterized builds in a Jenkinsfile?

The question focuses on enabling dynamic configurations in Jenkins pipelines through parameterized builds. It seeks to understand how to allow user inputs, such as branch selection or environment variables, during build execution, with examples of incorporating parameters in Jenkinsfiles for more flexible and interactive workflows.

Dynamically configurable Jenkins can be obtained through Parameterized Builds, which can request inputs such as branches and environment variables before the pipeline is triggered. Here's how to do it

Steps:
Define Parameters in Jenkins:
"Enable the 'This project is parameterized' option in the job configuration. Add parameters of type String, Choice, and Boolean."
Use Parameters in Jenkinsfile:

Add the parameters directive and use them within pipeline stages.

For advanced scenarios, use plugins like Active Choices for dynamic values.

Best Practices:

Validate your parameters to avoid mistakes.
Keep track of your logs for easier debugging.
Security where fine-grained parameterized access control to restricted builds
This approach gives flexible, reusable pipelines at the expense of less manual reconfiguration.
