🚀 Description:

In this video, I’ll show you how to supercharge your Jenkins CI/CD pipelines by leveraging Kubernetes Pods as Jenkins Build Agents. This approach allows your builds to run in isolated, ephemeral pods, ensuring scalability and flexibility for your pipelines.


🔑 What You'll Learn:

✅ How to configure Kubernetes as a Jenkins Cloud provider.
✅ Using service account tokens as credentials for secure and seamless communication between Jenkins and your Kubernetes cluster.
✅ Step-by-step setup for running Jenkins pipeline stages in Kubernetes Pods.
✅ Best practices for managing security, scalability, and resource optimization.


👨‍💻 Demo Overview:

We’ll dive into:
1️⃣ Setting up Kubernetes credentials in Jenkins.
2️⃣ Configuring Jenkins to use Kubernetes pods for build jobs.
3️⃣ Running a simple CI/CD pipeline using Kubernetes Pods!


💡 Why Use Kubernetes Pods as Agents?
✅ Scale on demand.
✅ Maintain build environment consistency.
✅ Improve resource utilization with pod lifecycle management.
