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 AWS Elastic Beanstalk using Jenkins Plugin

AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a Platform as a Service(PaaS) offering from Amazon. We will use it to deploy the PetClinic application on the AWS platform. The good part is we don't need to manage the infrastructure or even the platform, as it is a PaaS offering. We can configure scaling and other details. These are the steps to deploy an application on AWS Elastic Beanstalk:

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

  • 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:
  • Click on Services in the AWS management console and select AWS Elastic Beanstalk. Create a new application named petclinic...
