Jenkins X mentions (5)

• Jenkins HA on kubernetes

  Check out the https://jenkins-x.io/ project. Source: about 1 year ago

• How would you design a modern, resource and cost optimized CICD environment?

  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). Source: about 2 years ago

• My self-hosting infrastructure, fully automated from empty disk to operating services.

  You may want to checkout Jenkins X, it using Tekton underneath. Source: over 2 years ago

• Jenkins to control applications running on a Kubernetes cluster?

  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/. Source: over 2 years ago

• Write Gitlab CI Pipelines in Python Code

  There's a super basic dashboard: https://github.com/tektoncd/dashboard Tekton is really more of a lower level engine for CI though and doesn't focus on building UI, etc. You might check out jenkinsx which uses tekton but builds a whole new jenkins experience on it: https://jenkins-x.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• A Reasonable Configuration Language

  Jsonnet[1] and kapitan[2] are the tools I currently use. Their learning curve is not optimal (and I tried to contribute to smoothen it with a jsonnet course[3] and a 'get started wit kapitan' blog post[4]), but once used to it it's hard to do without, and their combination makes them even more useful (esp. If you deploy K8s). In Ruud's case, Jsonnet might have been worth looking at as Hashicorp tools can be... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Pkl, a Programming Language for Configuration

  Kubernetes config is a decent example. I had ChatGPT generate a representative silly example -- the content doesn't matter so much as the structure: https://gist.github.com/cstrahan/528b00cd5c3a22e3d8f057bb1a75ea61 Now consider 100s (if not 1000s) of such files. I haven't given Pkl an in depth look yet, but I can say that the Industry Standard™ of "simple YAML" + string substitution (with delicate, error prone... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• What Is Wrong with TOML?

  Maybe you'd like jsonnet: https://jsonnet.org/ I find it particularly useful for configurations that often have repeated boilerplate, like ansible playbooks or deploying a bunch of "similar-but" services to kubernetes (with https://tanka.dev). Dhall is also quite interesting, with some tradeoffs: https://dhall-lang.org/ A few years ago I did a small comparison by re-implementing one of my simpler ansible... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• That people produce HTML with string templates is telling us something

  Apologies for the lack of context, and for missing this comment until today. Both are tools for defining kubernetes manifests (which are YAML) in a reusable manner. Jsonnet is a formally specified extension of JSON. It’s essentially a functional programming language (w/some object oriented features) that generates config files in JSON/YAML/etc, so it’s straightforward to determine whether an input file is valid,... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• TOML: Tom's Obvious Minimal Language

  I like Google's Jsonnet [1], which has all of this except for 4. Jsonnet is quite mature, with fairly wide language adoption, and has the benefit of supporting expressions, including conditionals, arithmetic, as well as being able to define reusable blocks inside function definitions or external files. It's not suitable as a serialization format, but great for config. It's popular in some circles, but I'm sad that... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
