Create Jenkins Shared Library
In this article, we are going to learn how to create shared library in Jenkins. A shared library in Jenkins is a collection of Groovy scripts that are shared by several Jenkins jobs. The scripts are loaded into a Jenkinsfile before being executed. Shared libraries are used by developers to avoid rewriting the same code for many projects. Shared libraries allow code to be used between development projects, improving the software development life cycle. This significantly reduces coding time...

Deploy application using Jenkins & ArgoCD
In this article, we are going to learn how deploy a NodeJS application to Kubernetes using GitOps way by using Jenkins & ArgoCD. We will use Jenkins to checkout the code from repo, build the Docker image, push it to Docker Hub & to update Kustomize manifest in different repo. Then we will use ArgoCD to deploy the application to Kubernetes. In this project we will use two repositories. One for the application code & the other for the Kustomize manifest. Let's start. Prerequisites A GitHub...
Automating Java Springboot CI using Jib Gradle & GitHub action
In our previous article, we learned how to dockerize your Java Springbot project using Jib and Gradle plugin. But in that we have to manually build the docker image and push it to the docker hub. In this article we are going to learn how to automate this manual process using GitHub action. Prerequisites A GitHub repository containing your Java project with Gradle as the build tool A Docker Hub account Initalize the GitHub Action Workflow Naviagte to your local project directory and...

Publish Helm chart using GitHub pages
In this article, we are going to learn how to create Helm repository using GitHub pages to publish your Helm chart. Helm helps you to manage Kubernetes applications. Helm uses a packaging format called charts. A chart is a collection of files that describe a related set of Kubernetes resources. A single chart might be used to deploy your application to multiple environments such as test, staging, and production using a different set of values for each environment. Create GitHub...
Install Kubernetes External DNS on AWS EKS
In this article, we are going to learn how to setup external dns in your cluster. External DNS helps you to automatically manages the DNS records of your ingresses and services, saving you so much time!. In a nutshell, external DNS is a pod that runs in your EKS cluster and monitors all of your ingresses. When it detects an ingress with a defined host, it automatically retrieves the hostname as well as the endpoint and generates a record in Route53 for that resource. If the host is updated...
