New plugin - Support for Azure credentials via the Kubernetes Credentials Provider

[Tue Sørensen Dissing]

Hi Jenkins Dev,

 

We need to use Azure to provision build agents and therefore need to store the azure creds (service principal or a managed identity) as a jenkins credential. As we are deploying on Kubernetes we rely on the Kuberneters Credentials Provider plugin for all our credentials.

This plugin does not currently support the azure credentials types.

 

I have created this PR in order to support both the service principal and the managed identity, but as indicated here, this is best supported by a separate plugin.

 

Can’t find any existing support for this. I therefore believe the best way forward are to implement a new plugin to handle this – just as is the case with for example https://plugins.jenkins.io/bitbucket-kubernetes-credentials/. Please let me know if there’s another way that is preferred.

 

Suggested name: azure-kubernetes-credentials-plugin.

 

 

Venlig hilsen

Hi,

You can follow https://www.jenkins.io/doc/developer/publishing/requesting-hosting/ in order to host your plugin

Best way is to start with

mvn archetype:generate -B -DarchetypeGroupId=io.jenkins.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=empty-plugin -DhostOnJenkinsGitHub=true -DarchetypeVersion=1.23 -DartifactId=<artifact id>

And then implement the extension and tests. It will ensure you have all the require files matching the archetype.

If you follow correctly all steps, the plugin can be hosted and released in matter of days on the plugin center.

Regards,
