The recipes in this chapter expect you to have a functional Kubernetes cluster deployed by following one of the recommended methods described in Chapter 1, Building Production-Ready Kubernetes Clusters.
The Logging for your Jenkins CI/CD environment recipe in this chapter expects you to have a functional Jenkins server with an existing CI pipeline created by following one of the recommended methods described in Chapter 3, Building CI/CD Pipelines.
The Kubernetes command-line tool kubectl will be used for the rest of the recipes in this chapter since it's the main command-line interface for running commands against Kubernetes clusters. We will also use helm where Helm charts are available in order to deploy solutions.
