+# ONAP Integration > Bootstrap > Jenkins
+
+This directory contains a set of vagrant scripts that will automatically set up a Jenkins instance
+with predefined jobs to build all ONAP java code and docker images.
+
+This is intended to show a beginning ONAP developer how to set up and configure an environment that
+can successfully build ONAP code from scratch.  It is not intended to be used as a production
+Jenkins CI/CD environment.
+
+NOTE: the Jenkins instance is by default NOT SECURED, with the default admin user and password as "jenkins".
