Jenkins Views

Task Requirements :

The DevOps team of ABC Industries is planning to create some Jenkins jobs for different tasks. So to easily manage the jobs within Jenkins UI they decided to create different views for all Jenkins jobs based on the usage/nature of these jobs, - for example nautilus-crons view for all cron jobs. Based on the requirements shared below please perform the below-mentioned task:

Click on the Jenkins button on the top bar to access the Jenkins UI.

1. Create a Jenkins job named nautilus-test-job.

2. Configure this job to run a simple bash command i.e. echo "hello world!!".

3. Create a view named nautilus-crons (it must be a global view of type List View) and make sure nautilus-test-job and nautilus-cron-job (which is already present on Jenkins) jobs are listed under this new view.

4. Schedule this newly created job to build periodically at every minute i.e * (please make sure to use the cron expression exactly the same as it is mentioned here)

5. Make sure the job builds successfully.
