The DevOps 2.4 Toolkit

By: Viktor Farcic

Overview of this book

Building on The DevOps 2.3 Toolkit: Kubernetes, Viktor Farcic brings his latest exploration of the Docker technology as he records his journey to continuously deploying applications with Jenkins into a Kubernetes cluster. The DevOps 2.4 Toolkit: Continuously Deploying Applications with Jenkins to a Kubernetes Cluster is the latest book in Viktor Farcic’s series that helps you build a full DevOps Toolkit. This book guides readers through the process of building, testing, and deploying applications through fully automated pipelines. Within this book, Viktor will cover a wide-range of emerging topics, including an exploration of continuous delivery and deployment in Kubernetes using Jenkins. It also shows readers how to perform continuous integration inside these clusters, and discusses the distribution of Kubernetes applications, as well as installing and setting up Jenkins. Work with Viktor and dive into the creation of self-adaptive and self-healing systems within Docker.

Defining the release stage

In the release stage, we'll push Docker images to the registry as well as the project's Helm Chart. The images will be tags of the image under test, but this time they will be named using a convention that clearly indicates that they are production- ready.

In the build stage, we're tagging images by including the branch name. That way, we made it clear that an image is not yet thoroughly tested. Now that we executed all sorts of tests that validated that the release is indeed working as expected, we can re-tag the images so that they do not include branch names. That way, everyone in our organization can easily distinguish yet-to-be-tested from production-ready releases.

Since we cannot know (easily) whether the Chart included in the project's repository changed or not, during this stage, we'll push it to ChartMuseum. If the...
