Answer 1

Hi@Shashi,

The declarative pipeline is a relatively new feature that supports the pipeline as a code concept. It makes the pipeline code easier to read and write. This code is written in a Jenkinsfile which can be checked into a source control management system such as Git. Whereas, the scripted pipeline is a traditional way of writing the code.

Interviewer is not satisfied with above answer. Cross question as below

Can we call the scripted pipeline through jenkins keeping it outside of jenkins using any functions, is it possible ?

Hi@Shashi,

I guess you can do that. You can create your scripted pipeline Job and then you can call or trigger the scripted pipeline using any function. This is how we create one pipeline Job using Groovy language.
