Deploying EKS Microservices using Jenkins

In this lab we will be doing below steps:

  • We will build the docker image and push it to ECR.
  • Then Pull the image on Spinnaker and try to do deployments with the help of Spinnaker.

Prerequisites

Before starting working on the Lab, Make sure you are sharing your GITHUB Token and YOUR_TEAM_NAME with Instructor of the workshop so that they can add your account in Spinnaker from the back-end.

Now Fork the Spinnaker-Study Repository into your Public Github account and then clone it to your local.

Notice the manifests/deploy-microservice.yml file, and see the Deployment, and the Service.

Now we need to make updates on the all the files present under manifests directory and replace mild-temper with YOUR-NAME or YOUR-TEAM-NAME .

After making the updates you are good to push your code back to your repository.
