Azure Kubernetes Service(AKS)

To set up Kubernetes cluster on Azure using AKS, follow the steps defined in deploy_aks_cluster.txt using the Ubuntu VM.

Deploy Jenkins on AKS

After setting up Kubernetes cluster using AKS, follow the below steps to deploy Jenkins in AKS:

1. Create a namespace named jenkins. We will create all deployment and service for jenkins in this namespace.

$ kubectl create ns jenkins

2. Create deployment of jenkins.

$ kubectl create -f jenkins-deployment.yaml --namespace=jenkins

3. To check the logs of jenkins installation, first get the pod name and then check the logs of that pod.

$ kubectl get pods --namespace=jenkins
$ kubectl logs <JENKINS_POD_NAME> --namespace=jenkins --follow

To terminate previous command output, press Ctrl+c

4. Create service for jenkins deployment so that Jenkins can be accessed from web browser.

$ kubectl create -f jenkins-service.yaml --namespace=jenkins

5. Find the IP on which Jenkins can be accessed.

$ kubectl get services --namespace=jenkins

Previous command will give output something like below:

NAME	TYPE	CLUSTER-IP	EXTERNAL-IP	PORT(S)	AGE
jenkins-service	LoadBalancer	<IP_ADDRESS>	pending	8080:30936/TCP	3h

If you get EXTERNAL-IP as pending, then wait for sometime and execute previous command again. You will get a IP address listed in EXTERNAL-IP.

Yeah! That's all for installation. :)

Jenkins can be accessed on below address:

http://<EXTERNAL_IP_ADDRESS>:8080
