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.

Chapter 6: Clustering with Kubernetes

So far, in this book, we have covered the fundamental aspects of the acceptance testing process. In this chapter, we will see how to change the Docker environment from a single Docker host into a cluster of machines and how to change an independent application into a system composed of multiple applications.

This chapter covers the following topics:

  • Server clustering
  • Introducing Kubernetes
  • Kubernetes installation
  • Using Kubernetes
  • Advanced Kubernetes
  • Application dependencies
  • Alternative cluster management systems
