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.

Alternative cluster management systems

Docker Swarm is not the only system for clustering Docker containers. Even though it's the one available out of the box, there may be some valid reasons to install a third-party cluster manager. Let's walk through the most popular alternatives.

Kubernetes

Kubernetes is an open source cluster management system originally designed by Google. Even though it's not Docker-native, the integration is smooth, and there are many additional tools that help with this process; for example, kompose can translate the docker-compose.yml files into Kubernetes configuration files.

Let's take a look at the simplified architecture of Kubernetes:

Kubernetes is similar to Docker Swarm...
