Kubernetes - Jenkins integration

Question

I've bootstrapped with kubeadm Kubernetes 1.9 RBAC cluster and I've started inside a POD Jenkins based on jenkins/Jenkins

After that I go to Manage Jenkins -> Configure System -> Cloud -> Kubernetes and set the Kubernetes URL to the Cluster API that I use also in my kubectl KUBECONFIG server: url:port.

When I hit test connection I get "Error testing connection https://url:port: Failure executing: GET at: https://url:port/api/v1/namespaces/dev-infra/pods. Message: Forbidden!Configured service account doesn't have access. Service account may have been revoked. pods is forbidden: User "system:serviceaccount:dev-infra:default" cannot list pods in the namespace "dev-infra".

Answer 1

The best practice is to launch you Jenkins master pod with the service account you created, instead of creating credentials in Jenkins
