> What is Jenkins X exactly, and how does it relate to Jenkins? Is it just a CLI utility that generates git repos, k8s clusters and Jenkinsfiles for us? Is it a fork of Jenkins?
This seems like the best resource on what exactly this is https://github.com/jenkinsci/jep/tree/master/jep/400
So looks like its just a CLI tool that generates bunch of stuff for kubernetes and jenkins. Is that right?
I notice that kops recently added support for Digital Ocean https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/blob/master/docs/tutorial...
So we should be able to add a command `jx create cluster do` for using kops on DO - the current `jx create cluster aws` uses kops under the covers to spin up the kubernetes cluster.
I’ve raised this issue to track it: https://github.com/jenkins-x/jx/issues/705
* automated CI/CD for your kubernetes based applications using Helm Charts & GitOps to manage promotions (manual or automated)
* a single command to create a kubernetes cluster, install Jenkins X and all the associated software all configured for you OOTB (including Jenkins, Nexus, Monocular etc): http://jenkins-x.io/getting-started/create-cluster/ - ditto for upgrading
* a single command to create new apps or import them via build packs to create docker images, pipelines and helm charts with GitOps promotion: http://jenkins-x.io/developing/create-spring/
* automated release notes + change logs with links to github/JIRA issues etc
* feedback on issues as they move from Staging -> Production
i.e. more automation around CI/CD and kubernetes so you can spend more time focussing on building your apps and less time installing/configuring/managing Jenkins + Pipelines
