After achieving new challenges during customer activities where I was managing a quite huge project around Kubernetes & Jenkins X EcoSystem, I get the opportunity to attend the DevOps World – Jenkins World in Lisbon.\"\"<\/a>A big thanks as I will better understand all the superheroes in this Jenkins World.\"\"<\/a>The superheroes for me this year is Jenkins X !\"\"<\/a>Today was the 1st day with a dedicated workshop for about ~ 7 hours covering all the important topics for “Continuous Delivery with Jenkins X”. The workshop was presented by two CloudBees’ Developer advocates, Viktor Farcic assisted by Oscar Medina.<\/p>\n

The workshop was really complete with clear explanation in guidance and hands-on exercises. In few words, we begin to create a Kubernetes cluster using “jx create cluster gke” using my GCP Free Tier.<\/p>\n

Before create the cluster, I decided to update my jx cli. So easy that a simple “jx version” allow you to upgrade the cli<\/p>\n

abe@Arnauds-MacBook-Pro:~$ jx version\n\nNAME               VERSION\njx                 2.0.1045\njenkins x platform 2.0.1707\nKubernetes cluster v1.13.11-gke.14\nkubectl            v1.15.0\nhelm client        Client: v2.14.3+g0e7f3b6\ngit                2.21.0 (Apple Git-122.2)\nOperating System   Mac OS X 10.14.6 build 18G95\n\nverifying packages\n? A local Jenkins X versions repository already exists, pulling the latest: Yes\n\nWARNING: jx version 2.0.1047 is available in the version stream. We highly recommend you upgrade to it.\n\n? Would you like to upgrade to the jx version? Yes\n\nDownloading https:\/\/github.com\/jenkins-x\/jx\/releases\/download\/v2.0.1047\/jx-darwin-amd64.tar.gz to \/usr\/local\/Cellar\/jx\/2.0.1007\/bin\/jx.tmp...<\/pre>\n
The time I wrote this blog, 2 version was already promoted to production and available for download. Viktor informed that around 6-7 versions are pushed every day (amazing isn’t it).<\/p>\n
Once jx cli was properly upgraded, it was the time to create the GKE cluster using and including Jenkins X<\/p>\n
Preparation:<\/em><\/p>\n
abe@Arnauds-MacBook-Pro:~$ NAMESPACE=cd\nabe@Arnauds-MacBook-Pro:~$ echo \"nexus:\n  enabled: false\n\" | tee myvalues.yaml\nabe@Arnauds-MacBook-Pro:~$ PROJECT=jenkins-testing-249008\nabe@Arnauds-MacBook-Pro:~$ gcloud auth login<\/pre>\n
Create the GKE cluster:<\/em><\/p>\n
abe@Arnauds-MacBook-Pro:~$ jx create cluster gke -n jx-rocks -p $PROJECT -r us-east1 \\\n-m n1-standard-2 --min-num-nodes 1 --max-num-nodes 2 \\\n--default-admin-password=admin \\\n--default-environment-prefix jx-rocks --git-provider-kind github \\\n--namespace $NAMESPACE --prow --tekton --skip-login<\/pre>\n
In less than 20 minutes the Google Kubernetes Engines cluster was up and running with Jenkins X installed and configured in the specified “cd” namespace.\"JenkinsX\"<\/a>Real Continuous Fun during the 1st day, isn’t it ?<\/p>\n
After covering all the 14 workshop sections, I can be really proud of the team I worked with during the last months as we did a real great job for the customer. Without prior knowledge on Kubernetes and Jenkins X, we were able to fully install Kubernetes cluster on Premise, create Jenkins X Pipelines, customize BuildPacks, create QuickStart projects and understand the jx Import utility while applying the GitOps Principle in the right manner and direction. In fact we concluded with my colleagues, Mehdi Bada, that we followed most of the workshop sections concept during customer activities.<\/p>\n
