Learning DevOps

By: Mikael Krief

Overview of this book

The implementation of DevOps processes requires the efficient use of various tools, and the choice of these tools is crucial for the sustainability of projects and collaboration between development (Dev) and operations (Ops). This book presents the different patterns and tools that you can use to provision and configure an infrastructure in the cloud. You'll begin by understanding DevOps culture, the application of DevOps in cloud infrastructure, provisioning with Terraform, configuration with Ansible, and image building with Packer. You'll then be taken through source code versioning with Git and the construction of a DevOps CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins, GitLab CI, and Azure Pipelines. This DevOps handbook will also guide you in containerizing and deploying your applications with Docker and Kubernetes. You'll learn how to reduce deployment downtime with blue-green deployment and the feature flags technique, and study DevOps practices for open source projects. Finally, you'll grasp some best practices for reducing the overall application lead time to ensure faster time to market. 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

DevOps for Open Source Projects

Until a few years ago, the open source practice, which consists of delivering the source code of a product to the public, was essentially only used by the Linux community. Since then, many changes have taken place in relation to open source with the arrival of GitHub. Microsoft has since made a lot of its products open source and is also one of the largest contributors to GitHub.

Today, open source is a must in the development and enterprise world, regardless of whether we wish to use a project or even contribute to it.

Throughout this book, we can see many instances where open source tools such as Terraform, Ansible, Packer, Jenkins, SonarQube, and the Security DevOps Kit have been used. However, one of the great advantages of open source is not only the use of products, but also the fact that we can contribute to them.

To contribute to an open...
