This is a Jenkins Shared Library to get a dynamic agent from Kubernetes cloud.

Define the required agent in format "a+b+c", for example, "small+pg+privileged" to get an agent of "small size, additional postgres container and jnlp container running in privileged mode".
It's flexible to add templates in folder resources/podtemplates. The yaml files will be merged together and passed to Kubernetes Plugin to launched the desired pod.

Below lines will get an agent with 2 containers in the pod, a JNLP container of "mini" size plus a "postgres" container.

pipeline {
  agent {
    kubernetes(k8sagent(name: 'mini+pg'))
  }
  stages {
    stage('demo') {
      steps {
        echo "this is a demo"
        script {
          container('pg') {
            sh 'su - postgres -c \'psql --version\''
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

A more sophisticated example is here, where you could decide the agent type with more complex logic.

• Running Kubernetes cluster
• Jenkins server with connection to the cluster
• Kubernetes Plugin installed on the Jenkins

The Jenkins server could be stand-alone or be running inside the Kubernetes cluster.

Import the library following the instruction

Use it in pipeline

@Library("k8sagent") _

@Library("github.com/liejuntao001/jenkins-k8sagent-lib") _

However due to Jenkins security control, multiple methods need get approved.

The library is a gradle project with tests.
