Creating a Kubernetes Cluster with Jenkins X

You can skip this section if you kept the cluster from the previous chapter and it contains serverless Jenkins X. Otherwise, we’ll need to create a new Jenkins X cluster.

🔍 All the commands from this chapter are available in the 13-pipeline-extension-model.sh Gist.

Create a new cluster and install Jenkins X#

For your convenience, the Gists that will create a new serverless Jenkins X cluster or install it inside an existing one are as follows.

GKE#

EKS#

AKS#

Install Jenkins X in an existing serverless cluster#

Use an existing serverless cluster: install-serverless.sh

Removing jx-prow project#

We will not need the jx-prow project we created in the previous chapter. If you are reusing the cluster and Jenkins X installation, you might want to remove it and save a bit of resource.

⚠️ Please replace [...] with your GitHub user before executing the commands that follow.

🔍 The commands that follow will reset your go-demo-6 master with the contents of the versioning branch that contains all the changes we did so far. Please execute them only if you are unsure whether you did all the exercises correctly.

If you ever restored a branch at the beginning of a chapter, the chances are that there is a reference to my user (vfarcic). We’ll change that to the Google project since that’s what Knative will expect as the location of the container images.

⚠️ Please execute the commands that follow only if you are using GKE and if you ever restored a branch at the beginning of a chapter (like in the snippet above).

🔍 If you destroyed the cluster at the end of the previous chapter, you’ll need to import the go-demo-6 application again. Please execute the commands that follow only if you created a new cluster specifically for the exercises from this chapter.

Now we can explore Jenkins X Pipeline Extension Model.
