In Chapter 10, Building Microservice Systems, we developed a small microservice system. For this recipe, we will be deploying this system using techniques used in the previous recipes in this chapter.

So to prepare we need to grab a copy of the micro folder from the last recipe of Chapter 10, Adding a queue based service. We'll be copying folders from this recipe into the micro folder in the previous recipe of this chapter, Creating a deployment pipeline.

Since we're building on the work of the previous recipe, it is necessary to complete it before proceeding with this current recipe.

We also assume that Docker, Minikube, and Jenkins are installed locally, as required by the previous recipe.

If GitHub triggers are running for the adderservice in Jenkins (using SCM polling), then now would be a good time to temporarily disable these while we work on the rest of the pipeline.
