Show Notes
This episode covers Jenkins pipeline as code, including declarative pipeline best practices and the use of shared libraries for DRY pipelines. We also delve into security hardening with Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection, agent security with ephemeral containers, and integration with Kubernetes dynamic agents. Additionally, we discuss credential management using the Vault plugin and introduce Jenkins X for cloud-native pipelines. Finally, we explore scenarios where replacing Jenkins might be necessary and discuss migration strategies.
