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

AWS


Amazon Web Services allows us to deploy virtual machine images on Amazon's clusters. You can also deploy Docker images. Follow these steps to set up AWS:

  1. Sign up for an account with AWS. Registration is free of charge, but a credit card number is required even for the free of charge tier

  2. Some identity verification will need to happen, which can be done via an automated challenge-response phone call.

  3. When the user verification process is complete, you will be able to log in to AWS and use the web console.

    Tip

    In my opinion, the AWS web console does not represent the epitome of web interface usability, but it gets the job done. There are a host of options, and in our case, we are interested in the virtual machine and Docker container options.

  4. Go to EC2 network and security. Here you can create management keys that will be required later.

    As a first example, let's create the default container example provided by AWS, console-sample-app-static. To log in to the generated server, you need first...
