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

We did not dive into everything Jenkins X Boot offers. We still need to discuss how to use it to update or upgrade Jenkins X and the related components. There are also a few other features that we skipped. For now, I wanted you to get a taste of what we can do with it. We'll discuss it in more detail in the next chapter. Right now, you should have at least a basic understanding of how to install the platform using Jenkins X Boot. More will come soon.
# How to free up the resources?
Just like in the previous chapters, now you need to choose whether you want to move to the next chapter right away or if you'd like to have a break. If you choose the latter, the Gists we used to create the cluster contain the instructions on how to destroy it as well. Once the cluster is no more, use the commands that follow to delete the repositories. The next chapter will contain an explanation of how to create everything we need from scratch.



This lesson contains the instructions to free up the used resources.
