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

Roles and code


From a DevOps point of view, it is important to leverage the natural meeting point that a source code management tool is. Many different roles have a use for source code management in its wider meaning. It is easier to do so for technically-minded roles but harder for other roles, such as project management.

Developers live and breathe source code management. It's their bread and butter.

Operations personnel also favor managing the descriptions of infrastructure in the form of code, scripts, and other artifacts, as we will see in the coming chapters. Such infrastructural descriptors include network topology, versions of software that should be installed on particular servers, and so on.

Quality assurance personnel can store their automated tests in codified form in the source code repository. This is true for software testing frameworks such as Selenium and Junit, among others.

There is a problem with the documentation of the manual steps needed to perform various tasks, though...
