By: Jean-Marcel Belmont

Overview of this book

Hands-On Continuous Integration and Delivery starts with the fundamentals of continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) and where it fits in the DevOps ecosystem. You will explore the importance of stakeholder collaboration as part of CI/CD. As you make your way through the chapters, you will get to grips with Jenkins UI, and learn to install Jenkins on different platforms, add plugins, and write freestyle scripts. Next, you will gain hands-on experience of developing plugins with Jenkins UI, building the Jenkins 2.0 pipeline, and performing Docker integration. In the concluding chapters, you will install Travis CI and Circle CI and carry out scripting, logging, and debugging, helping you to acquire a broad knowledge of CI/CD with Travis CI and CircleCI. By the end of this book, you will have a detailed understanding of best practices for CI/CD systems and be able to implement them with confidence.

Summary

In this chapter, we covered the job log in depth and showed you how to use the CircleCI API to add projects. We showed you how to analyze the job log and explained in more detail what a workflow is in CircleCI. We looked at how to use the CircleCI API to find the most recent build. We then looked at how to debug slow builds in Circle CI and wrapped up by showing you how to use a local config YML script to experiment with new changes to the CircleCI YML script.

In the next chapter, we will look at some best practices with continuous integration/continuous delivery and look at some patterns of configuration management, in particular secrets management, and present some checklists when implementing CI/CD in software companies.
