Practical DevOps

Overview of this book

DevOps is a practical field that focuses on delivering business value as efficiently as possible. DevOps encompasses all the flows from code through testing environments to production environments. It stresses the cooperation between different roles, and how they can work together more closely, as the roots of the word imply—Development and Operations. After a quick refresher to DevOps and continuous delivery, we quickly move on to looking at how DevOps affects architecture. You'll create a sample enterprise Java application that you’ll continue to work with through the remaining chapters. Following this, we explore various code storage and build server options. You will then learn how to perform code testing with a few tools and deploy your test successfully. Next, you will learn how to monitor code for any anomalies and make sure it’s running properly. Finally, you will discover how to handle logs and keep track of the issues that affect processes

Vagrant


Vagrant is a configuration system for virtual machines. It is geared towards creating virtual machines for developers, but it can be used for other purposes as well.

Vagrant supports several virtualization providers, and VirtualBox is a popular provider for developers.

First, some preparation. Install vagrant according to the instructions for your distribution. For Fedora, the command is this:

yum install 'vagrant*'

This will install a number of packages. However, as we are installing this on Fedora, we will experience some problems. The Fedora Vagrant packages use libvirt as a virtual machine provider rather than VirtualBox. That is useful in many cases, but in this case, we would like to use VirtualBox as a provider, which requires some extra steps on Fedora. If you use some other distribution, the case might be different.

First, add the VirtualBox repository to your Fedora installation. Then we can install VirtualBox with the dnf command, as follows:

dnf install VirtualBox

VirtualBox...
