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.

Preface

I've observed software delivery processes for years. I wrote this book because I know how many people still struggle with releases and get frustrated after spending days and nights on getting their products into production. This all happens even though a lot of automation tools and processes have been developed throughout the years. After I saw for the first time how simple and effective the Continuous Delivery process was, I would never come back to the tedious traditional manual delivery cycle. This book is a result of my experience and a number of Continuous Delivery workshops I conducted. I share the modern approach using Jenkins, Docker, and Ansible; however, this book is more than just the tools. It presents the idea and the reasoning behind Continuous Delivery, and what's most important, my main message to everyone I meet: Continuous Delivery process is simple, use it!
