The Lab repository is a hands-on tutorial and reference implementation that demonstrates how to build a complete continuous delivery pipeline using Kubernetes and Jenkins on Google Cloud. It walks developers through the process of automating software delivery by integrating source control, build systems, containerization, and deployment orchestration into a unified workflow. The project leverages Google Kubernetes Engine to manage containerized applications and uses Jenkins pipelines to define and execute build and deployment processes declaratively. It illustrates how to deploy applications using Kubernetes primitives such as deployments, services, ingress, and secrets, enabling scalable and resilient microservices architectures. The repository also highlights best practices such as GitOps workflows, automated rollouts, and secure credential management within CI/CD pipelines.
