Kubernetes and Jenkins: A Brief Introduction

The IT industry is now quickly moving towards using containers in software development. The reason behind is that the containers are a very cost-effective solution, and also they decrease the time needed for the development. To manage these containers, orchestration tools like Kubernetes come into play and business needs to set up Kubernetes with Jenkins. However, before taking you further, let’s get a quick idea about Jenkins and Kubernetes:

Kubernetes is an open-source tool created by Google; it manages containers and also takes care of their failure. It supports the majority of CI/CD tools and Kubernetes Security tools which allow developers in running tests, deploying builds and updating the application without any downtime.

Jenkins is one of the most popular CI/CD tools; it is so popular because it monitors tasks repeatedly. During the development phase and shows errors in the early stages of the development. This blog will focus on how to set up Jenkins on Kubernetes.

Prerequisites to Configure Jenkins with Kubernetes

• A Linux system (in my case I’m using Linux).
• Kubernetes (minikube) and Docker should be installed in the system.
