Kubernetes First Continuous Delivery for Developers by Joost van der Griendt

Jenkins X, an open-source project introduced to the community by CloudBees, enables the rapid creation, delivery, and orchestration of cloud-native applications based on continuous delivery best practices and the proven Kubernetes platform. Reimagining Jenkins in a Kubernetes world, Jenkins X puts the developer experience front and center. It is providing all the (CI/CD) tools, an intuitive command-line interface, and pre-build workflows to hit the ground running. After introducing what Jenkins X does and how it is opinionated, we'll explore some of the commonly used features of Jenkins X. We will kick-start a CI/CD pipeline for a new application, import an existing application, and last but not least look at creating temporary environments (previews) for handling Pull Requests.
