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

Which source code management system?


There are many source code management (SCM) systems out there, and since SCM is such an important part of development, the development of these systems will continue to happen.

Currently, there is a dominant system, however, and that system is Git.

Git has an interesting story: it was initiated by Linus Torvalds to move Linux kernel development from BitKeeper, which was a proprietary system used at the time. The license of BitKeeper changed, so it wasn't practical to use it for the kernel anymore.

Git therefore supports the fairly complicated workflow of Linux kernel development and is, at the base technical level, good enough for most organizations.

The primary benefit of Git versus older systems is that it is a distributed version control system (DVCS). There are many other distributed version control systems, but Git is the most pervasive one.

Distributed version control systems have several advantages, including, but not limited to, the following:
