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.

Task 7 – finding the tooling and necessary services to start to implement

Let’s try to address this task using our learnings from Chapters 5, 6, 7, and 8. Finally, you can put all these things together, investigate tools and services, and find out which products and services fit your needs. Take into consideration the following questions:

  • Are the tools you’re using supporting your overall strategy?
  • How do the costs of these services/tools relate to the earnings from your application?
  • How do these tools play together?

Now, the interesting part of continuous delivery can begin; we are ready to implement our solution. Obviously, we can add additional questions to this catalog that might specifically support our use case. Furthermore, we should take whatever we defined here as law. If we face issues while implementing this, we must rethink our strategy and find out whether there are other ways to implement such things more straightforwardly.
