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 many of the CI concepts we have discussed in the earlier chapters will be utilized in this chapter. It will be helpful if you try to create a GitHub account and Travis CI account. You can follow the steps in the Travis CI prerequisites section. Some of the examples use Docker, which is a container technology, so it would be helpful if you have some understanding about containers and Docker. You will learn about the YAML syntax in this chapter. There are some commands in the chapter that use command-line applications, so it would be helpful to be familiar with command-line applications or CLIs.
