Explanation

zarf.yaml - package definition

The zarf.yaml file has two components.

1. prepare-jenkins - this component applies a few kubernetes manifests to create a jenkins volume and service account

2. jenkins - this component defines the source helm chart and images required.

zarf package create

Running zarf package create will use the zarf.yaml definition and will create a *.tar.zst file as a declarative artifact. This artifact, the zarf binary, and init package are all that is required to install onto a kubernetes cluster

zarf init

Running zarf init installs zarf into the cluster. It includes an embedded image registry (optional) and the zarf agent (or worker bee). Zarf init also has logging or git-server optional components

zarf package deploy

Running zarf package deploy installs the jenkins package into the cluster.
