Continuous Delivery with Docker and Jenkins, 3rd Edition - Third Edition

By: Rafał Leszko

Overview of this book

This updated third edition of Continuous Delivery with Docker and Jenkins will explain the advantages of combining Jenkins and Docker to improve the continuous integration and delivery process of app development. You’ll start by setting up a Docker server and configuring Jenkins on it. Next, you’ll discover steps for building applications and microservices on Dockerfiles and integrating them with Jenkins using continuous delivery processes such as continuous integration, automated acceptance testing, configuration management, and Infrastructure as Code. Moving ahead, you'll learn how to ensure quick application deployment with Docker containers, along with scaling Jenkins using Kubernetes. Later, you’ll explore how to deploy applications using Docker images and test them with Jenkins. Toward the concluding chapters, the book will focus on missing parts of the CD pipeline, such as the environments and infrastructure, application versioning, and non-functional testing. By the end of this continuous integration and continuous delivery book, you’ll have gained the skills you need to enhance the DevOps workflow by integrating the functionalities of Docker and Jenkins.

Using Ansible

In order to use Ansible, we first need to define the inventory, which represents the available resources. Then, we will be able to either execute a single command or define a set of tasks using the Ansible playbook.

Creating an inventory

An inventory is a list of all the servers that are managed by Ansible. Each server requires nothing more than the Python interpreter and the SSH server installed. By default, Ansible assumes that SSH keys are used for authentication; however, it is also possible to use a username and password by adding the --ask-pass option to the Ansible commands.

Tip

SSH keys can be generated with the ssh-keygen tool, and they are usually stored in the ~/.ssh directory.

The inventory is defined by default in the /etc/ansible/hosts file (but its location can be defined with the –i parameter), and it has the following structure:

[group_name]
<server1_address>
