Jenkins X (https://jenkins-x.io/) - standup k8s w gitops ci/cd around jenkins

Like: * Drone.io * GoCD * Github Actions * Gitlab CI * Circle CI * JenkinsX (not the same as old jenkins - it is from built from the ground up on kube with tekton)

You may want to checkout Jenkins X, it using Tekton underneath

Argo has served us well, but our devops architect is currently building out a new ci/cd pipeline to replace Argo with Jenkins X. https://jenkins-x.io/

As I delved into the world of Kubernetes, I opted for what seemed like the scenic route—until reality hit. With determination and a sprinkle of naivety, I plunged into crafting a Kubernetes cluster from scratch. Little did I know, I was in for a wild ride of commands, configurations, and complexities. But fear not! With the guiding light of a course based on the notorious "Kubernetes The Hard Way" GitHub repository, albeit customized for AWS instead of Google Cloud, I embarked on my journey to build my digital fortress, one step at a time.

Another resource that I found pretty helpful was "Kubernetes the Hard Way" by Kelsey Hightower despite its complexity.

I recently published Kubernetes the Harder Way, a guide loosely based on Kelsey Hightower's Kubernetes the Hard Way, but lenghtier, more explanatory, broader in scope, and - most importantly - harder, by targeting a local machine instead of Google Cloud Platform.

How about this? It will setup a kubernetes cluster on GCP with 3 worker nodes?

Some costs here but click on the google cloud calc as it seems to have gone up since he wrote this:

Oh, and both: "Kubernetes up and Running" and "Production Kubernetes" are great books.

Using Kubernetes The Hard Way is a great way to learn it deeply and quickly.

If you wanna learn it deeply and quickly, Kelsey Hightower's Kubernetes the hard way is fantastic!
