I have created a cluster using minikube which has 2 namespaces, dev and infra. dev contains my UI and backend apps while infra contains my Jenkins StatefulSet. I set Jenkins and added the Kubernetes plugin (v 1.1.3). Now I want to create a Jenkins job so that I can redeploy services in my dev namespace.
However, when my Jenkins job runs, I can see that it spins a new pod in the infra namespace as expected for the build, but this pod does not have access to the kubeconfig or the kubectl command. How do I promote builds in this case?
Here is my Kubernetes Cloud Configuration
And here is the console output of a sample job
The sample job above does nothing, I was just testing to make sure that it spins off a pod of its own every time it is run.
How can I use these Jenkins jobs now to redeploy my services/pods in the dev namespace?
this pod does not have access to the kubeconfig or the kubectl command
You need to use a jenkins agent docker image that has those commands
You also need that agent pod to use a service account that has permission to access the dev namespace if you want to change things there
