Jenkins Examples

End-to-end framework for running PAN-OS automation pipelines on Jenkins deployed to Kubernetes, with dynamic agent pods executing Python scripts against Panorama.

Components

Component	Description
Pipelines	Groovy pipeline scripts for address objects and security policies
Infrastructure	Docker images, Helm charts, and K8s manifests for Jenkins-on-K8s

How It Works

1. Jenkins Controller runs on Kubernetes via the Helm chart
2. Pipeline jobs define multi-container pod templates (JNLP agent + Python)
3. Agent pods spawn dynamically for each build, then terminate
4. Python containers execute automation scripts against Panorama
5. RBAC manifests grant agent pods permission to interact with the K8s API
