Continuous Delivery with Docker and Jenkins

By: Rafał Leszko

Overview of this book

The combination of Docker and Jenkins improves your Continuous Delivery pipeline using fewer resources. It also helps you scale up your builds, automate tasks and speed up Jenkins performance with the benefits of Docker containerization. This book will explain the advantages of combining Jenkins and Docker to improve the continuous integration and delivery process of app development. It will start with setting up a Docker server and configuring Jenkins on it. It will then provide steps to build applications on Docker files and integrate them with Jenkins using continuous delivery processes such as continuous integration, automated acceptance testing, and configuration management. Moving on you will learn how to ensure quick application deployment with Docker containers along with scaling Jenkins using Docker Swarm. Next, you will get to know how to deploy applications using Docker images and testing them with Jenkins. By the end of the book, you will be enhancing the DevOps workflow by integrating the functionalities of Docker and Jenkins.

Docker Compose with Docker Swarm

We have described how to use Docker Swarm in order to deploy a service, which in turn runs multiple containers from the given Docker image. On the other hand, there is Docker Compose, which provides a method to define the dependencies between containers and enables scaling containers, but everything is done within one Docker host. How do we merge both technologies so that we can specify the docker-compose.yml file and automatically distribute the containers on a cluster? Luckily, there is Docker Stack.

Introducing Docker Stack

Docker Stack is a method to run multiple-linked containers on a Swarm cluster. To understand better how it links Docker Compose with Docker Swarm, let's take a look...
