Strategizing Continuous Delivery in the Cloud

By: Garima Bajpai, Thomas Schuetz

Overview of this book

Many organizations are embracing cloud technology to remain competitive, but implementing and adopting development processes while modernizing a cloud-based ecosystem can be challenging. Strategizing Continuous Delivery in Cloud helps you modernize continuous delivery and achieve infrastructure-application convergence in the cloud. You’ll learn the differences between cloud-based and traditional delivery approaches and develop a tailored strategy. You’ll discover how to secure your cloud delivery environment, ensure software security, run different test types, and test in the pre-production and production stages. You’ll also get to grips with the prerequisites for onboarding cloud-based continuous delivery for organizational and technical aspects. Then, you’ll explore key aspects of readiness to overcome core challenges in your cloud journey, including GitOps, progressive delivery controllers, feature flagging, differences between cloud-based and traditional tools, and implementing cloud chaos engineering. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-equipped to select the right cloud environment and technologies for CD and be able to explore techniques for implementing CD in the cloud.

How to be a contributor to the open source ecosystem of CD

The open source ecosystem provides an immense opportunity for everyone to contribute. The community plays an important role in providing mentorship to newcomers. Open source projects that have diverse contributors from the user base have solid foundations.

Let’s discuss some of the opportunities and how they help the community and its projects:

  • Organic innovators: The developers contributing to OSS are responsible for adding new ideas and features.
  • Advocates: An open source ecosystem consists of a community of developers, users, and researchers who also act as developer advocates for the OSS.
  • Developers: If you are a developer, there are many ways to contribute, basically starting with writing the code, and if you find bugs, then you can make a pull request to fix it.
  • Maintainers: Maintaining a project requires more than code. The responsibilities can apply to the documentation and keeping it up...
