Overview of this book

DevOps Bootcamp delivers practical learning modules in manageable chunks. Each chunk is delivered in a day, and each day is a productive one. Each day builds your competency in DevOps. You will be able to take the task you learn every day and apply it to cultivate the DevOps culture. Each chapter presents core concepts and key takeaways about a topic in DevOps and provides a series of hands-on exercises. You will not only learn the importance of basic concepts or practices of DevOps but also how to use different tools to automate application lifecycle management. We will start off by building the foundation of the DevOps concepts. On day two, we will perform Continuous Integration using Jenkins and VSTS both by configuring Maven-based JEE Web Application?. We will also integrate Jenkins and Sonar qube for Static Code Analysis. Further, on day three, we will focus on Docker containers where we will install and configure Docker and also create a Tomcat Container to deploy our Java based web application. On day four, we will create and configure the environment for application deployment in AWS and Microsoft Azure Cloud for which we will use Infrastructure as a Service and Open Source Configuration Management tool Chef. For day five, our focus would be on Continuous Delivery. We will automate application deployment in Docker container using Jenkins Plugin, AWS EC2 using Script, AWS Elastic Beanstalk using Jenkins Plugin, Microsoft Azure VM using script, and Microsoft Azure App Services Using Jenkins. We will also configure Continuous Delivery using VSTS. We will then learn the concept of Automated Testing on day six using Apache JMeter and URL-based tests in VSTS. Further, on day seven, we will explore various ways to automate application lifecycle management using orchestration. We will see how Pipeline can be created in Jenkins and VSTS, so the moment Continuous? Integration is completed successfully, Continuous Delivery will start and application will be deployed. On the final day, our focus would be on Security access to Jenkins and Monitoring of CI resources, and cloud-based resources in AWS and Microsoft Azure Platform as a Service.

Continuous delivery in Docker container using Jenkins Plugin

Let's understand how we can deploy a web application in Tomcat using the Jenkins plugin.

We can follow a few steps for that:

  • Run Apache Tomcat
  • Use the proper IP address and port number combination to navigate to the Tomcat home page:
  • Go to the conf directory and then open tomcat-users.xml in your Tomcat installation directory and un-comment the role and user lines or rewrite them. Set manager-script as the rolename for testing purposes. We need manager-script for deployment via the Deploy to Container plugin.
  • For the Jenkins deploy plugin, change the rolename to manager-script as follows:
  • Click on the manager application link on the Tomcat home page and enter the username and password you set in tomcat-users.xml. Now we can access the management application. For a local Tomcat, we can use localhost to access the Tomcat page or we can use the...
