Last year has been quite prolific for the Jenkins Kubernetes Plugin, with 55 releases and lots of external contributions!

In 2019 there will be a push for Serverless Jenkins and with that a shift to make agents work better in a Kubernetes environment, with no persistent jnlp connections. You can watch my Jenkins X and Serverless Jenkins demo at Kubecon.

Main changes in the Kubernetes plugin in 2018:

• Allow creating Pod templates from yaml. This allows setting all possible fields in Kubernetes API using yaml
• Add yamlFile option for Declarative agent to read yaml definition from a different file
• Support multiple containers in declarative pipeline
• Support passing kubeconfig file as credentials using secretFile credentials
• Show pod logs and events in the Jenkins node page
• Add optional usage restriction for a Kubernetes cloud using folder properties
• Add Pod Retention policies to keep pods around on failure
• Validate label and container names with regex
• Add option to apply caps only on alive pods
• Split credentials classes into new plugin kubernetes-credentials
