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

One of the nice aspects of Git is that it doesn't mandate the use of a particular client. There are several to choose from, and they are all compatible with each other. Most of the clients use one of several core Git implementations, which is good for stability and quality.

Most current development environments have good support for using Git.

In this sense, choosing a client is not something we actually need to do. Most clients work well enough, and the choice can be left to the preferences of those using the client. Many developers use the client integrated in their development environments, or the command-line Git client. When working with operations tasks, the command-line Git client is often preferred because it is convenient to use when working remotely through an SSH shell.

The one exception where we actually have to make a choice is when we assist people in the organization who are new to source code management in general and Git in particular.

In these cases, it is...
