Continuous Delivery with Docker and Jenkins, 3rd Edition - Third Edition

By: Rafał Leszko

Overview of this book

This updated third edition of Continuous Delivery with Docker and Jenkins will explain the advantages of combining Jenkins and Docker to improve the continuous integration and delivery process of app development. You’ll start by setting up a Docker server and configuring Jenkins on it. Next, you’ll discover steps for building applications and microservices on Dockerfiles and integrating them with Jenkins using continuous delivery processes such as continuous integration, automated acceptance testing, configuration management, and Infrastructure as Code. Moving ahead, you'll learn how to ensure quick application deployment with Docker containers, along with scaling Jenkins using Kubernetes. Later, you’ll explore how to deploy applications using Docker images and test them with Jenkins. Toward the concluding chapters, the book will focus on missing parts of the CD pipeline, such as the environments and infrastructure, application versioning, and non-functional testing. By the end of this continuous integration and continuous delivery book, you’ll have gained the skills you need to enhance the DevOps workflow by integrating the functionalities of Docker and Jenkins.

Deployment with Ansible

We have covered the most fundamental features of Ansible. Now, let's forget, just for a little while, about Docker, Kubernetes, and most of the things we've learned so far. Let's configure a complete deployment step by only using Ansible. We will run the calculator service on one server and the Hazelcast service on the second server.

Installing Hazelcast

We can specify a play in the new playbook. Let's create the playbook.yml file, with the following content:

---
- hosts: web1
  become: yes
  become_method: sudo
  tasks:
  - name: ensure Java Runtime Environment is installed
    apt: 
      name: default-jre
      state: present
      update_cache: yes
  - name: create Hazelcast directory
    file:
   ...
