Jenkins X Automated Cleanup for Preview Environments

Are unmanaged preview environments bloating your cloud costs and cluttering your CI/CD pipelines? This course guides you through mastering Jenkins X's garbage collection mechanisms, enabling you to maintain a clean, cost-effective, and efficient development workflow for your cloud-native projects. What you'll learn: * Understand the principles of ephemeral preview environments in modern CI/CD. * Learn how Jenkins X integrates with Kubernetes for dynamic environment provisioning and lifecycle management. * Configure automated garbage collection for Jenkins X preview environments after pull request merges. * Apply Kubernetes CronJobs and resource labels for scheduled, targeted cleanup. * Optimize cloud resource utilization and reduce operational costs in CI/CD pipelines. * Identify best practices for maintaining a lean and efficient Kubernetes cluster supporting cloud-native development. The course begins with foundational concepts of CI/CD and preview environments, then delves into Jenkins X's architecture for environment management. You'll progress to practical configurations for automated cleanup using Kubernetes tools, concluding with strategies for efficient resource management. This course is designed for beginners in CI/CD and cloud-native development, including developers, DevOps engineers, and system administrators, with no prior experience in Jenkins X garbage collection required.
