Cloud Native Lifecycle

CICD Pipelines

Community Meetups

• (2020) Jenkins Online Meetup [COMMUNITY-TOOL] — Community recording detailing real-world workflows for integrating Jenkins-centric deployment systems with Keptn's automated SRE-driven quality evaluation gates.

Jenkins Integration

• (2022) Keptn Jenkins Shared Library ⭐ 8 [GROOVY CONTENT] [ADVANCED LEVEL] 🌟 [COMMUNITY-TOOL] — A pipeline-as-code integration allowing Jenkins jobs to dispatch Keptn-driven operations such as performance testing, quality gate validation, and continuous remediation, combining classic CI with modern orchestrators.

Video Guides

• (2020) youtube: Level-Up your Jenkins-based Delivery with Keptn [COMMUNITY-TOOL] — Visual walk-through demonstrating how Keptn decouples delivery orchestrations from Jenkinsfiles. Shows how to configure service quality gates using declarative SLIs/SLOs to automatically rollback failing pipelines.

Continuous Delivery

Enterprise Observability

• (2021) dynatrace.com: What is keptn, how it works and how to get started! [COMMUNITY-TOOL] — Explores how Keptn abstracts CD and automated operations away from brittle scripts. Highlights how combining Dynatrace's enterprise APM observability with Keptn's automated quality gates ensures high-assurance software promotion.

Guides

• (2023) Quick Start [COMMUNITY-TOOL] [GUIDE] — Official step-by-step documentation for installing Keptn in a Kubernetes cluster, defining uniform delivery pipelines, configuring service-level objectives (SLOs), and executing an initial automated deployment.

Site Reliability Engineering

• (2023) Keptn [GO CONTENT] [ADVANCED LEVEL] [COMMUNITY-TOOL] — A CNCF incubating project providing event-driven orchestration for continuous delivery and automated operations. Uses CloudEvents standards and a GitOps approach to automate deployment, testing, and multi-stage promotion of services.

Local Environments

Video Guides (1)

• (2021) youtube: Tutorial - Keptn in a box [COMMUNITY-TOOL] — Step-by-step video configuration demonstrating the execution of Keptn within local virtualized micro-clusters, streamlining testing of SRE control-planes on local machines.
