<ul>
<li>EC2 Instance: Begin by provisioning an EC2 instance with a T2-MEDIUM instance type.
</li>
<li>Jenkins Installation: Install Jenkins on your EC2 instance.
</li>
<li>Docker: Ensure Docker is installed and configured on your EC2 instance.
</li>
<li>Kubernetes Setup: Setup Kubernetes on your EC2 instance.
</li>
</ul>
Step 1: We will install kubectl.
<pre><code class="lang-yaml">curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl"
</code></pre>
give the file execution permission
<pre><code class="lang-yaml">sudo chmod +x kubectl
</code></pre>
and then we will MV this file in default directory
<pre><code class="lang-yaml">sudo mv kubectl /usr/bin
</code></pre>
Step 2: Install and setup jenkins and java.
Step 3: create a new job with freestyle which will execute the commands to launch and expose pods.

Step 4: Write these commands on execute shell of build step.
<code>#launch sudo kubectl create deployment myd1 --image=vimal13/apache-webserver-php #Launch the port kubectl expose deployment myd1 --type=NodePort --port=80</code>

After that click on build now your pods will be created and exposed.

#### Prerequisites

* **EC2 Instance**: Begin by provisioning an EC2 instance with a T2-MEDIUM instance type.
    
* **Jenkins Installation**: Install Jenkins on your EC2 instance.
    
* **Docker**: Ensure Docker is installed and configured on your EC2 instance.
    
* **Kubernetes Setup**: Setup Kubernetes on your EC2 instance.
    

Step 1: We will install kubectl.

```yaml
curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl"
```

give the file execution permission

```yaml
sudo chmod +x kubectl 
```

and then we will MV this file in default directory

```yaml
sudo mv kubectl /usr/bin
```

Step 2: Install and setup jenkins and java.

Step 3: create a new job with freestyle which will execute the commands to launch and expose pods.

Step 4: Write these commands on execute shell of build step.

`#launch   sudo kubectl create deployment myd1 --image=vimal13/apache-webserver-php      #Launch the port   kubectl expose deployment myd1 --type=NodePort --port=80`
