The DevOps 2.4 Toolkit

By: Viktor Farcic

Overview of this book

Building on The DevOps 2.3 Toolkit: Kubernetes, Viktor Farcic brings his latest exploration of the Docker technology as he records his journey to continuously deploying applications with Jenkins into a Kubernetes cluster. The DevOps 2.4 Toolkit: Continuously Deploying Applications with Jenkins to a Kubernetes Cluster is the latest book in Viktor Farcic’s series that helps you build a full DevOps Toolkit. This book guides readers through the process of building, testing, and deploying applications through fully automated pipelines. Within this book, Viktor will cover a wide-range of emerging topics, including an exploration of continuous delivery and deployment in Kubernetes using Jenkins. It also shows readers how to perform continuous integration inside these clusters, and discusses the distribution of Kubernetes applications, as well as installing and setting up Jenkins. Work with Viktor and dive into the creation of self-adaptive and self-healing systems within Docker.

We managed to customize Jenkins by setting ImageTag. What if we'd like to set CPU and memory? We should also add Ingress, and that would require a few annotations. If we add Ingress, we might want to change the Service type to ClusterIP and set HostName to our domain. We should also make sure that RBAC is used. Finally, the plugins that come with the Chart are probably not all the plugins we need.

Applying all those changes through --set arguments would end up as a very long command and would constitute an undocumented installation. We'll have to change the tactic and switch to --values. But before we do all that, we need to generate a domain we'll use with our cluster.

We'll use nip.io (http://nip.io/) to generate valid domains. The service provides a wildcard DNS for any IP address. It extracts IP from the...
