About this course

This workshop will provide a basic understanding of how to create and manage Jenkins Pipelines for Kubernetes while leveraging developer-focused features of CloudBees Core (aka CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise).

The course consists of a brief conceptual presentation with follow-along workshop exercises that allow you to practice what you have learned. During this course, you’ll learn key best practices to build a Declarative Pipeline in Jenkins, utilize Kubernetes pod templates to run dynamic, ephemeral Jenkins agents and use the Jenkins Pipeline to build, test, and deploy a sample application to a Kubernetes cluster.

Course Objectives

After completing this training module, you should understand the following:

Create, analyze, and run a Declarative Pipeline in Jenkins
How to control the flow of execution in a Declarative Pipeline
Recommended practices to utilize Kubernetes for running ephemeral, dynamic agents
Design a Jenkins pipeline to build, test and deploy an application to Kubernetes cluster
Establish reusable Pipeline templates for enterprise scale using CloudBees Core

Approach

This short course teaches you how to create and run a Jenkins Declarative Pipeline on Kubernetes. Declarative Pipeline is a relatively recent addition to Jenkins Pipeline which presents a more simplified and opinionated syntax on top of the Pipeline sub-systems. You will design a Jenkins Pipeline from ground up to include all the tasks required to build, test, and deploy an application. The Pipeline will be defined as a ‘Jenkinsfile’, which is a text file that is saved to the source code repository alongside the source code for the application. The workshop ends with the attendees utilizing a Jenkins Pipeline template to build, test, and deploy a sample application to a Kubernetes cluster.
