{jenkins-plugin-info:pluginId=kubernetes}

Background

The aim of the Kubernetes plugin is to be able to use a Kubernetes cluster to dynamically provision a Jenkins agent (using Kubernetes scheduling mechanisms to optimize the loads), run a single build, then tear-down that agent.

Setup

A quick setup is :

- get a Kubernetes cluster running

- use a docker image for the agents, or create your own

Kubernetes Environment

Follow the getting started guide on Kubernetes or use Google Kubernetes Engine.

Docker image for Agents

You can find ready-made Docker images for Jenkins agents using jnlp at jenkins/jenkins-slave.

The images can be customized to fit your needs.

Configuration

Refer to the README in the plugin repository

Releases

Refer to the CHANGELOG in the plugin repository
