Section Introduction

In this lesson, we explore the fundamentals of Kubernetes with a focus on building a robust cluster on Amazon's cloud using AWS EKS. You will learn how to set up and manage a Kubernetes cluster on AWS, ensuring a scalable environment that supports modern application deployment strategies.

In addition, we will demonstrate how to integrate this AWS-based Kubernetes setup with Jenkins. By connecting Jenkins to your Kubernetes cluster, you'll be able to establish a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline, which is essential for automating application releases and updates.
