Practical DevOps

Overview of this book

DevOps is a practical field that focuses on delivering business value as efficiently as possible. DevOps encompasses all the flows from code through testing environments to production environments. It stresses the cooperation between different roles, and how they can work together more closely, as the roots of the word imply—Development and Operations. After a quick refresher to DevOps and continuous delivery, we quickly move on to looking at how DevOps affects architecture. You'll create a sample enterprise Java application that you’ll continue to work with through the remaining chapters. Following this, we explore various code storage and build server options. You will then learn how to perform code testing with a few tools and deploy your test successfully. Next, you will learn how to monitor code for any anomalies and make sure it’s running properly. Finally, you will discover how to handle logs and keep track of the issues that affect processes

Hosted Git servers


Many organizations can't use services hosted within another organization's walls at all.

These might be government organizations or organizations dealing with money, such as bank, insurance, and gaming organizations.

The causes might be legal or, simply nervousness about letting critical code leave the organization's doors, so to speak.

If you have no such qualms, it is quite reasonable to use a hosted service, such as GitHub or GitLab, that offers private accounts.

Using GitHub or GitLab is, at any rate, a convenient way to get to learn to use Git and explore its possibilities.

Both vendors are easy to evaluate, given that they offer free accounts where you can get to know the services and what they offer. See if you really need all the services or if you can make do with something simpler.

Some of the features offered by both GitLab and GitHub over plain Git are as follows:

  • Web interfaces

  • A documentation facility with an inbuilt wiki

  • Issue trackers

  • Commit visualization

  • Branch visualization...
