## What it is
A hands-on tutorial/lab from Google Cloud Platform that walks through setting up a continuous deployment pipeline using Jenkins running on Google Kubernetes Engine. It provides shell scripts and documentation to provision the cluster, deploy Jenkins, and build a delivery pipeline with Kubernetes deployments, services, and ingress.

## Use cases
- set up jenkins on kubernetes
- build a continuous deployment pipeline on gke
- learn jenkins pipeline as code with kubernetes
- automate software delivery to a kubernetes cluster
- run jenkins build executors as kubernetes pods
- tutorial for ci/cd on google cloud
- deploy apps with rolling updates on kubernetes

## When to choose
- you want a guided, step-by-step lab to run Jenkins on GKE
- you are learning Kubernetes-based CI/CD concepts like deployments, services, ingress, and secrets
- you want Jenkins build executors to scale dynamically inside a Kubernetes cluster

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade CI/CD system rather than a tutorial
- you use a CI platform other than Jenkins (e.g., GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Cloud Build pipelines)
- you are not on Google Cloud Platform or GKE
- you need actively developed tooling rather than reference lab material
