Hands-On Continuous Integration and Delivery

By: Jean-Marcel Belmont

Overview of this book

Hands-On Continuous Integration and Delivery starts with the fundamentals of continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) and where it fits in the DevOps ecosystem. You will explore the importance of stakeholder collaboration as part of CI/CD. As you make your way through the chapters, you will get to grips with Jenkins UI, and learn to install Jenkins on different platforms, add plugins, and write freestyle scripts. Next, you will gain hands-on experience of developing plugins with Jenkins UI, building the Jenkins 2.0 pipeline, and performing Docker integration. In the concluding chapters, you will install Travis CI and Circle CI and carry out scripting, logging, and debugging, helping you to acquire a broad knowledge of CI/CD with Travis CI and CircleCI. By the end of this book, you will have a detailed understanding of best practices for CI/CD systems and be able to implement them with confidence.

Technical requirements

This chapter will require some basic programming skills and we will utilize some of the continuous integration/continuous delivery concepts that we will discuss in this chapter. It will be helpful if you try to create a Bitbucket account and a CircleCI account on your own. You can follow the steps in the CircleCI prerequisites section. We will create a basic Java application using Maven so it would be helpful to understand some basic programming concepts in Java, but if you know any programming language you should be able to follow along. Basic Git and Unix knowledge would be very helpful.
