Automation scripts for Admins to run on Jenkins Script Console

Jenkins script console is one of the key feature for administrators to automate tasks, troubleshoot on server side like cleaning up older job builds, deleting/creating bunch of jobs, setting up log rotation on all jobs etc. It's hard and monotonous for them to do this tasks from UI repeatedly. The following scripts certainly helps to maintain and operate Jenkins efficiently.

Release and Tagging strategy for Microservices running on Kubernetes

Releasing product is one of the critical phase of software development life cycle, so much brainstorming will go in to design versioning and release strategy for a product. In olden days, it was all different, applications were monolithic, build and release management teams used to build this, entirely as a package (.WAR or .EAR files) by creating one version and putting it in artifact repository, triggering a process to deploy package in application servers. Versioning is pretty straight forward because it is monolithic and treated as one application. Now things are changed, considering complexity and inflexibility of monolithic application, people has opted to build application as set of smaller and interconnected services called microservices. In effect of this, versioning and releasing of individual microservices and for overall application became complex. There are no straight forward principles which solves problem, it entirely depends on various factors like branching strateg...

Mutual authentication between microservices in kubernetes cluster

Earlier in this post, we have talked about TLS Working model and configuring it for application in kubernetes . Basically any HTTPS server open for client connections, will present a server certificate to client to verify against its trusted certificate authorities and if success, it does basic TLS handshake. Its more of a validating whether sever domain is authentic, using server certificate. What if there is a security requirement where client needs a valid certificate before it access server content, this is where mutual authentication fits in. Its basically establishing secure encrypted communication between two parties and authenticity of each party will be verified at other party end with presented certificate against certificate authority. The following diagram demonstrates steps involved in mutual authentication 1. Client requests sever for its content 2. Server replies back by presenting its server certificate 3. Server's identity will be tested by client using...
