Jenkins X
CI/CD for Modern Cloud Applications on Kubernetes.
Overview
Jenkins X is an open-source project that rethinks CI/CD for the cloud-native world. It automates the setup of CI/CD pipelines for Kubernetes applications, creating preview environments for pull requests and promoting changes through environments (Dev, Staging, Prod) automatically using GitOps. It leverages tools like Tekton for pipelines and can use Argo CD or Flux for GitOps promotion.
