Creating a deployment pipeline
In the previous recipes of this chapter we become familiar with Docker and Kubernetes. It's now time to wield the power of these technologies by creating a deployment pipeline.
Whether we are deploying to a staging environment (Continuous Delivery), or directly to production (Continuous Deployment) a robust and automated pipeline is a powerful tool that should form the core of our DevOps strategy.

Getting ready
For this recipe, we are going to be using the Jenkins CI/CD system as our build and deployment tool, so we will need to install this first. We can head over to https://jenkins.io/ to download the appropriate binary for our system. Once we have...
