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

Software on the host


Depending on the complexity of your builds, you might need to install many different types of build tool on your build server. Remember that Jenkins is mostly used to trigger builds, not perform the builds themselves. That job is delegated to the build system used, such as Maven or Make.

In my experience, it's most convenient to have a Linux-based host operating system. Most of the build systems are available in the distribution repositories, so it's very convenient to install them from there.

To keep your build server up to date, you can use the same deployment servers that you use to keep your application servers up to date.
