Jenkins X: Continuous Delivery for Kubernetes with James Strachan

The last 5 years has seen a huge change in how we build, package, run and manage software with the rise of Kubernetes, Cloud Native, Microservices and Continuous Delivery. As a result we all need to get better at delivering business value to our customers faster and continuously with a cloud native strategy - but how?

This talk will introduce you to a new open source project, Jenkins X which is an open source CI / CD platform for Kubernetes based on Jenkins.

After a couple of slides we'll spend most of talk demonstrating how to get stuff done with Jenkins X:

easily setup your own Jenkins based CI / CD system on your cloud of choice
quickly get started developing new microservices with automated CI / CD
import existing projects with automated CI / CD
use Pull Requests to trigger CI, Preview Environments, human approval then a full CD release
use automated provisioning to testing, staging, ephemeral and production environments via helm charts and GitOps
After this talk you should be able to develop at full speed with CI / CD in a cloud native way in any language on any cloud or kubernetes cluster! Lets all go faster!

Can Jenkins x be deployed using terraform for both cluster creation and the Jenkins x install?

This is all Greta and beautiful but there is no features for really test integration of microservices together. I still need to write a pipeline that does it serially on commute to master so we know that all microservices work together in their latest version all the time.
