Jenkins X is a powerful tool that can automatically create and deploy cloud-ready, fully functional out-of-the-box CI/CD pipelines in any environment running a Kubernetes cluster. This practical book shows you how to harness the power of Jenkins X and its implementation of CI/CD and DevOps best practices--everything from basic use in multiple environments to advanced customization and configuration.

Programmers, systems developers, DevOps engineers, and other professionals will start with core CI/CD and DevOps concepts and quickly move to complete use options for those ready to run with a pipeline. Author Brent Laster, director of research and development at SAS, also takes you through advanced uses, including ways to extend this tool.
