Einleitung

In the last years there has been a huge change in how we build, deploy and run software with the rise of Microservices, Containers, Kubernetes, and Continuous Delivery. As a result we all need to get better at continuously delivering business value to our customers with a cloud native strategy – but how?

This workshop will introduce the attendees to an innovative open source project, Jenkins X which is a CI/CD Ecosystem for Kubernetes built around Jenkins.

After a comprehensive introduction we will show how to start developing containerized Java Microservices on Kubernetes:

  • Easily setup a Jenkins based CI/CD system on the cloud or Minikube.
  • Quickly get started developing with automated import of existing projects.
  • Use Pull Requests to trigger CI.
  • Preview Environments for Pull Requests.
  • Manual approval to Production.
  • Automated provisioning of environments via Helm Charts and GitOps.

After this workshop attendees will be able to develop effectively in a cloud native way in any language on any kubernetes cluster!

Let’s all be truly Agile! Finally!

Programm

Main Steps:

  • Introduction about Kubernetes and Jenkins X.
  • Install JX Command line tool.
  • Start Minikube VM with appropriate configs.
  • Familiarize a bit with the JX cli.
  • Install JX on the Kubernetes cluster.
  • Explore the JX Ecosystem on Kubernetes.
  • Explore the Staging and Production Environments.
  • Explore VS Code and the JX and Kubernetes extensions.
  • Creating a new Project (Spring Boot, NodeJs, Golang).
  • Explore the created Repository on GitHub.
  • Analyse the CD Pipeline.
  • Analyse the Dockerfile and the Helm Chart for Deployment on Kubernetes.
  • Pushing some changes on a feature branch and analyse the Preview Environment.
  • Analysing promotion with GitOps.
  • Analyse of the generated Release and Tags.
  • Manual promotion to production.
  • Developing on the Cloud with DevPods.
  • Have some fun with it!

Kursziel

The goal of the workshop will be to introduce the participant to cloud native development with Open Source technologies and the concepts of continuous delivery on top of Kubernetes.

Moreover we would like to introduce them to the concept of GitOps, where configuration and infrastructure is defined in a declarative way on Git, triggering CI Pipelines to upgrade the cluster status.

Adressaten

The receivers should be ideally Software Developers and DevOps engineers.
