DevOps: Continuous Delivery, Integration, and Deployment with DevOps

By: Sricharan Vadapalli

Overview of this book

DevOps is the most widely used software engineering culture and practice that aim sat software development and operation. Continuous integration is a cornerstone technique of DevOps that merges software code updates from developers into a shared central mainline. This book takes a practical approach and covers the tools and strategies of DevOps. It starts with familiarizing you with DevOps framework and then shows how toper form continuous delivery, integration, and deployment with DevOps. You will explore DevOps process maturity frameworks and progression models with checklist templates for each phase of DevOps. You will also be familiar with agile terminology, methodology, and the benefits accrued by an organization by adopting it. You will also get acquainted with popular tools such as Git, Jenkins ,Maven, Gerrit, Nexus, Selenium, and so on.You will learn configuration, automation, and the implementation of infrastructure automation (Infrastructure as Code) with tools such as Chef and Ansible. This book is ideal for engineers, architects, and developers, who wish to learn the core strategies of DevOps. This book is embedded with useful assessments that will help you revise the concepts you have learned in this book. This book is repurposed for this specific learning experience from material from Packt's Hands-on DevOps by Sricharan Vadapalli.

Chapter 4. DevOps Continuous Deployment

DevOps continuous deployment enables changes to be ported quickly from development to production. Infrastructure and automation play key roles for enabling continuous deployment. In this lesson, we will learn about configuration automation and the implementation of infrastructure automation (Infrastructure as Code) with tools such as Chef and Ansible. We will also discuss the continuous monitoring process with the tools, Splunk and Nagios:

  • Continuous deployment

  • Chef

    • Components

    • Terminology

    • Architecture

  • Ansible

    • Components

    • Terminology

    • Architecture

  • Continuous Monitoring

  • Splunk

  • Nagios

As we have discussed in the previous lessons, the following figure shows the process of continuous integration, continuous deployment, and continuous delivery alignment.

Continuous Integration (CI) is the process of making the development, unit test and build process on a continuous mode as opposed to staggered (step-by-step) methodology. In the CI process, every developer merges their...
