FROM openjdk:11-jre-slim
WORKDIR /app
COPY Main.class .
CMD ["java", "Main"]
Java Application Deployment In Kubernetes With Jenkins CI/CD Pipeline
In modern software development, deploying applications to Kubernetes clusters has become a common practice due to their scalability and reliability. Automating this deployment process using continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines with Jenkins streamlines the development workflow and ensures consistent, reliable deployments. This article demonstrates deploying a sample Java application on a Kubernetes cluster using Minikube.
