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

The need for source code control


Terence McKenna, an American author, once said that everything is code.

While one might not agree with McKenna about whether everything in the universe can be represented as code, for DevOps purposes, indeed nearly everything can be expressed in codified form, including the following:

  • The applications that we build

  • The infrastructure that hosts our applications

  • The documentation that documents our products

Even the hardware that runs our applications can be expressed in the form of software.

Given the importance of code, it is only natural that the location that we place code, the source code repository, is central to our organization. Nearly everything we produce travels through the code repository at some point in its life cycle.
