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.

These are the steps to deploy an application on AWS Elastic Beanstalk:

Elastic Beanstalk supports the following programming languages and platforms:

Let's create a sample application to understand how Elastic Beanstalk works and then use the Jenkins plugin to deploy an application:

  1. Go to the AWS management console and verify whether we have a default Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). If you've deleted the default VPC and subnet by accident, send a request to AWS customer support to recreate it:

  2. Click on Services in the AWS management console and select AWS Elastic Beanstalk. Create a new application named petclinic. Select Tomcat as a Platform and select the Sample application...
