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

Chapter 4. Everything is Code

Everything is code, and you need somewhere to store it. The organization's source code management system is that place.

Developers and operations personnel share the same central storage for their different types of code.

There are many ways of hosting the central code repository:

  • You can use a software as a service solution, such as GitHub, Bitbucket, or GitLab. This can be cost-effective and provide good availability.

  • You can use a cloud provider, such as AWS or Rackspace, to host your repositories.

Some types of organization simply can't let their code leave the building. For them, a private in-house setup is the best choice.

In this chapter, we will explore different options, such as Git, and web-based frontends to Git, such as Gerrit and GitLab.

This exploration will serve to help you find a Git hosting solution that covers your organization's needs.

In this chapter, we will start to experience one of the challenges in the field of DevOps—there are so many solutions...
