Configuring Continuous Deployment in OpenShift environments

After this quick theory recap, now let's return to our cluster and configure CD for our application.

At the beginning of this chapter, we described the source-to-image build, which we have used in previous chapters. We also hinted that there is a pipeline build available. As you probably have guessed by now, this is the kind of build that we will use to implement CD of our services.

The pipeline build uses the Jenkins server to configure the pipeline configuration. Before moving further, let's introduce it quickly.

Introducing Jenkins

Jenkins is an open source software automation server. It allows for pipeline creation and provides the relevant syntax. So, how are we able to use Jenkins in OpenShift cluster and configure pipeline execution? Let's find out.

Our first pipeline

Let's start by creating our first pipeline. We have to log in to our web console and navigate to Add to project | Import YAML.

In order to do that, we have to go the...
