There will be minor differences for handling other repositories.Jenkins is a hugely popular build tool that has been around for ages and used by many people. With huge shift to Kubernetes as a platform you would naturally want to run jenkins on Kubernetes. While running Jenkins in itself on Kubernetes is not a challenge, it is a challenge when you want to build a container image using jenkins that itself runs in a container in the Kubernetes cluster.

While Jenkins can be installed on standard VMs, if you are running a Kubernetes cluster then its much easier to install and run Jenkins in it. We will be using Helm to install Jenkins. We will follow the below steps to get up and running: Get the Jenkins values file for configuring our Jenkins installation Install Jenkins Access Jenkins Let’s rock ‘n’ roll:

We had earlier seen how to install airflow on kubernetes using helm charts. While helm charts help you get started fast, they may not be suitable for day 2 operatios like: Upgrades Backup & restore Auto recovery Automatic/On-demand scalability Configuration management Deep insights Let’s find how to install airflow on kubernetes using airflow operator.
