This document discusses using Jenkins X to automate CI/CD pipelines on Kubernetes. It begins by introducing Jenkins X and its capabilities for CI/CD automation on Kubernetes using custom resource definitions. It then discusses how Jenkins X embraces a GitOps model using Git as the source of truth for promoting applications through environments. Finally, it invites the reader to a CloudBees event to learn more about building a continuous software delivery system with Jenkins X.

First things first
Who am I?

3. Continuously building software… Is that easy?
DevOps challenges
Scalability
Flexibility
Performance
Easy to use
Traceability

4. Kubernetes can be your mate for DevOps
A Cloud Native approach for DevOps challenges
Adopting de-facto standards
➔Container orchestration
➔Package deployment management
➔“API-fication”
➔Leveraging Infrastructure as Code
➔Cloud agnostic
...

5. But… Why Kubernetes?
More than orchestrating containers
Upscale and downscale clusters on
demand, easily
Scalability
Easy APIs and tooling for infrastructure
management
Infrastructure abstraction
Elastic clusters with easy
configuration
Velocity

6. But… Is Kubernetes so awesome?
Yeah! I defined different pod templates to deploy all
containers we need to build.
Did you use the right context? Which
namespaces? What about ingress?
RBAC?...
I don’t know man! I’m not a Kubernetes expert!

7. Thinking about
automation
Let’s also orchestrate
Kubernetes through its
abstraction power

8. CI/CD powered by Jenkins X
Extends K8s with CRDs
● Environment
● Pipeline Activities
● Releases
● Users
● Teams
CI/CD automation for Cloud
Jenkins Cloud Native implementation
Kubernetes only

9. “One CLI to rule them all”
True automation comes first from a powerful cli tooling
$ jx create cluster gke --prow=true
$ jx get environments
$ jx import --url https://github.com/dcanadillas/demo.git
$ jx get activity -f demo -w
$ jx get build logs <github-org>/demo/master
$ jx get applications
...

10. Embracing GitOps
It’s true DevOps, so Continuous Delivery meets Cloud Native
K8s environments
Jenkins
Git repos
Promotion automation
➔Automated environment promotions
➔Infrastructure as Code
➔Git as source of truth
App + preview chart Staging chart name + version
Production chart name +
version
Promote
Mergetomaster
Preview Staging Production
GitOps environments and promotion

11. Serverless experience
Git events trigger creation of components
Prow
tide
Jenkinsfile
Jenkins orchestration for pipelines
➔Ephemeral masters and agents
➔Prow as event handler
➔Chatops
➔KNative builds
➔KNative templates

12. An Enterprise Jenkins X solution
Extending the cli automation for the Enterprise
CloudBees Core for
Kubernetes CD
CI/CD for Kubernetes:
● CRDs and Jenkins orchestration
● Build packs & Pod Templates
● Jenkins orchestration
● GitOps and K8s native
● SSO and security
● UI Management
● Jenkins X Enterprise support

13. Demo time!
Let’s see it in action

14. Creating a
cluster

less 15 minutes

15. Demo effect?
No problem, I have a
video!

16. We’re building the
WORLD’S FIRST
end-to-end continuous
software delivery system
