Using Jenkins-X on Oracle Kubernetes Engine

Jenkins-X automates CI/CD for your applications on Kubernetes. It is based on the idea of GitOps, where automated delivery pipelines roll out changes to your infrastructure when changes are made to Git version control.

In this hands-on lab we begin by standing up a Kubernetes cluster on the Oracle Cloud managed service and learn the basics of operation. Then we set up Jenkins-X and use GitOps flow to build a basic Helidon Java service.

Bring Your Own Laptop! We also need to know your email address to be able to provision Oracle Cloud Infra Trial account for each participant worth $300.
