Jenkinsfile idiosynchrasies with escaping and quotes
node {
echo 'Results included as an inline comment exactly how they are returned as of Jenkins 2.121, with $BUILD_NUMBER = 1'
echo 'No quotes, pipeline command in single quotes'
sh 'echo $BUILD_NUMBER' // 1
echo 'Double quotes are silently dropped'
sh 'echo "$BUILD_NUMBER"' // 1
echo 'Even escaped with a single backslash they are dropped'
sh 'echo \"$BUILD_NUMBER\"' // 1
echo 'Using two backslashes, the quotes are preserved'
sh 'echo \\"$BUILD_NUMBER\\"' // "1"

### Generic Dockerfile demonstrating good practices
### Imports
# Bad-ish, we do not need Ubuntu for this, nor do we want latest if we are using in a build system, predictable is better
FROM ubuntu:latest
# Better, using a small image since our app has no dependency on Ubuntu
FROM alpine:3.3

Ansible bash module boilerplate
#!/bin/bash
# Source arguments from Ansible
# These are passed into the module as $1 with a key=value format
# Sourcing this file sets the variables defined in the Ansible module
# Note that variables that are unused in the module are silently ignored
source $1
# Helper function to fail the module with the specified error
# This can accept $@ in printf for the full error
