Learning DevOps - Second Edition

By: Mikael Krief

Overview of this book

In the implementation of DevOps processes, the choice of tools is crucial to the sustainability of projects and collaboration between developers and ops. This book presents the different patterns and tools for provisioning and configuring an infrastructure in the cloud, covering mostly open source tools with a large community contribution, such as Terraform, Ansible, and Packer, which are assets for automation. This DevOps book will show you how to containerize your applications with Docker and Kubernetes and walk you through the construction of DevOps pipelines in Jenkins as well as Azure pipelines before covering the tools and importance of testing. You'll find a complete chapter on DevOps practices and tooling for open source projects before getting to grips with security integration in DevOps using Inspec, Hashicorp Vault, and Azure Secure DevOps kit. You'll also learn about the reduction of downtime with blue-green deployment and feature flags techniques before finally covering common DevOps best practices for all your projects. By the end of this book, you'll have built a solid foundation in DevOps and developed the skills necessary to enhance a traditional software delivery process using modern software delivery tools and techniques.

Installing SonarQube

SonarQube is an on-premises solution—in other words, it must be installed on servers or virtual machines (VMs). In addition, SonarQube consists of several components that will analyze the source code of applications, retrieve and store the data from this analysis, and provide reports on the quality and security of the code.

Before we install SonarQube, it is essential that we look at its architecture and components.

Overview of the SonarQube architecture

SonarQube is a client/server tool, which means that its architecture is composed of artifacts on the server side and also on the client side.

A simplified SonarQube architecture is shown in the following diagram:

Let's look at the components that are shown in the preceding diagram. The components that make up SonarQube on the server side are listed here:

  • A SQL Server, MySQL...
