Learning DevOps - Second Edition

By: Mikael Krief

Overview of this book

In the implementation of DevOps processes, the choice of tools is crucial to the sustainability of projects and collaboration between developers and ops. This book presents the different patterns and tools for provisioning and configuring an infrastructure in the cloud, covering mostly open source tools with a large community contribution, such as Terraform, Ansible, and Packer, which are assets for automation. This DevOps book will show you how to containerize your applications with Docker and Kubernetes and walk you through the construction of DevOps pipelines in Jenkins as well as Azure pipelines before covering the tools and importance of testing. You'll find a complete chapter on DevOps practices and tooling for open source projects before getting to grips with security integration in DevOps using Inspec, Hashicorp Vault, and Azure Secure DevOps kit. You'll also learn about the reduction of downtime with blue-green deployment and feature flags techniques before finally covering common DevOps best practices for all your projects. 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.

Running the Newman command line

After exporting the Postman configuration that we saw earlier, we will run the Newman utility on our local machine.

To execute Newman, go to the Terminal, then to the folder where the JSON configuration files are located, and execute the following command:

newman run DemoBook.postman_collection.json -e Local.postman_environment.json

The newman run command takes the JSON file of the collection that we exported as an argument and a parameter, -e, which is the JSON file of the exported environment.

Note

For more details about all the arguments of this command, read the documentation at https://www.npmjs.com/package/newman#newman-options.

Newman will execute the Postman requests from the collection we exported. It will also use the variables of the exported environment and will also perform the tests we wrote in the request.

The result of its execution, which is quite detailed, is shown in the following screenshot:
