The Jenkins Operator is a Kubernetes-native tool designed to streamline the deployment and management of Jenkins instances within Kubernetes clusters. It utilizes Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) to define and manage Jenkins resources, including Jenkins masters, configurations, and plugins.

• **Kubernetes Custom Resources:** Employs familiar Kubernetes manifests to configure and deploy Jenkins instances.
• **Simplified Deployment Configuration:** Defines essential Jenkins configurations like versions, plugins, security settings, and persistence directly within Kubernetes resources.
• **Automated Jenkins Management:** Facilitates the creation, scaling, upgrading, and management of Jenkins masters, including automated backups and restores.
• **High Availability:** Configures Jenkins for high availability, ensuring continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline reliability.
• **Security:** Enforces security measures such as role-based access control (RBAC) and secrets management to safeguard Jenkins and its data.
• **Plugin Management:** Simplifies the installation and management of Jenkins plugins through declarative configurations.

• **Streamlined Jenkins Deployment:** Simplifies the process of setting up and managing Jenkins in Kubernetes.
• **Scalability:** Effortlessly scales Jenkins masters to accommodate growing CI/CD workloads.
• **High Availability:** Ensures the continuous availability of Jenkins for uninterrupted CI/CD pipelines.
• **Open Source:** The Jenkins Operator is an open-source project under the Apache 2.0 License.

• **Installation:** Install the Jenkins Operator using Helm or by directly applying the necessary manifests to your Kubernetes cluster.
• **Configuration:** Define Jenkins resources, including Jenkins masters, configurations, and plugins, using Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs).
• **Management:** The Jenkins Operator will automatically deploy and manage your Jenkins instances based on your configurations.
