Learn how to use Jenkins X to automate your pipeline and achieve CI/CD.

DevOps for Developers

Jenkins X is a powerful tool for providing software developers continuous integration, automated testing, and continuous delivery, known as CI/CD, in Kubernetes.

It’s no secret that Kubernetes is extremely complex, and Jenkins X helps you by simplifying processes into concepts that can be adopted quickly and without spending months trying to figure out “the right way to do stuff.”

In this course, you’ll start by exploring the inner workings of Jenkins X and how to create a cluster using it. You’ll then learn how to combine Jenkins X with tools you’re already using. Throughout, you’ll see how this exciting new tool changes how you work with Kubernetes.

By the time you’re done, you will be confident managing CI/CD using Jenkins X in a Kubernetes cluster.

Jenkins X with Kubernetes

As you saw, converting our applications into serverless deployments with **Knative** is trivial. The same can be said for all the projects we start from now on. Jenkins X buildpacks already contain everything we need, and the only action on our part is either to change the `knativeDeploy` variable or to use the `jx edit deploy` command to make **Knative** deployments default for all new projects.
# How to free up the resources
Now you need to decide whether to continue using the cluster or to destroy it. If you choose to destroy it or to uninstall Jenkins X, you'll find the instructions at the bottom of the Gist you chose at the beginning of this chapter.

If you destroyed the cluster or you uninstalled Jenkins X, please remove the repositories and the local files we created. You can use the commands that follow for that.
