Serverless Deployments for Pull Requests in Jenkins X

Managing cloud resources efficiently is a major challenge in modern software development, especially when deploying serverless applications in Kubernetes. This text-based course guides you through configuring Jenkins X to deploy serverless previews only when a pull request is opened, preventing unnecessary resource consumption and streamlining your development workflow. Through clear explanations and practical examples, you will learn to: 1. Understand the fundamentals of serverless architecture and preview environments within Kubernetes. 2. Configure Jenkins X pipelines using modern pipeline-as-code practices. 3. Restrict automated serverless deployments to active pull requests. 4. Manage environment variables and secrets securely within your CI/CD workflow. 5. Clean up temporary preview resources automatically when pull requests are closed. 6. Apply GitOps principles to manage cluster states. You will start with core concepts of Kubernetes and Jenkins X before moving step-by-step through pipeline configuration, pull request triggers, and automated resource cleanup. This course is designed for beginner DevOps engineers, developers, and system administrators looking to optimize their development pipelines. No prior Jenkins X experience is required.
