DevOps for Web Development

By: Mitesh Soni

Overview of this book

The DevOps culture is growing at a massive rate, as many organizations are adopting it. However, implementing it for web applications is one of the biggest challenges experienced by many developers and admins, which this book will help you overcome using various tools, such as Chef, Docker, and Jenkins. On the basis of the functionality of these tools, the book is divided into three parts. The first part shows you how to use Jenkins 2.0 for Continuous Integration of a sample JEE application. The second part explains the Chef configuration management tool, and provides an overview of Docker containers, resource provisioning in cloud environments using Chef, and Configuration Management in a cloud environment. The third part explores Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment in AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Docker, all using Jenkins 2.0. This book combines the skills of both web application deployment and system configuration as each chapter contains one or more practical hands-on projects. You will be exposed to real-world project scenarios that are progressively presented from easy to complex solutions. We will teach you concepts such as hosting web applications, configuring a runtime environment, monitoring and hosting on various cloud platforms, and managing them. This book will show you how to essentially host and manage web applications along with Continuous Integration, Cloud Computing, Configuration Management, Continuous Monitoring, Continuous Delivery, and Deployment.

Preface

Self-test questions


  1. Which of the following statements is not related to the development team in a traditional environment?

    • A competitive market creates pressure of on-time delivery of feature or bug fixing

    • Production-ready code management and new feature implementation

    • The release cycle is often long and hence the development team has to make assumptions before the application deployment finally takes place

    • Redesigning or tweaking is needed to run the application in a production environment

  2. Which of the following are benefits of DevOps?

    • Collaboration, management, and security for the complete application development lifecycle management

    • Continuous innovation because of continuous development of new ideas

    • Faster delivery of new features or resolution of issues

    • Automated deployments and standardized configuration management for different environments

    • All of these

  3. Which of the following are parts of the DevOps culture or application delivery pipeline?

    • Continuous integration

    • Cloud provisioning

    • Configuration management

    • Continuous delivery/deployment
