Overview of this book

DevOps is the most widely used software engineering culture and practice that aim sat software development and operation. Continuous integration is a cornerstone technique of DevOps that merges software code updates from developers into a shared central mainline. This book takes a practical approach and covers the tools and strategies of DevOps. It starts with familiarizing you with DevOps framework and then shows how toper form continuous delivery, integration, and deployment with DevOps. You will explore DevOps process maturity frameworks and progression models with checklist templates for each phase of DevOps. You will also be familiar with agile terminology, methodology, and the benefits accrued by an organization by adopting it. You will also get acquainted with popular tools such as Git, Jenkins ,Maven, Gerrit, Nexus, Selenium, and so on.You will learn configuration, automation, and the implementation of infrastructure automation (Infrastructure as Code) with tools such as Chef and Ansible. This book is ideal for engineers, architects, and developers, who wish to learn the core strategies of DevOps. This book is embedded with useful assessments that will help you revise the concepts you have learned in this book. This book is repurposed for this specific learning experience from material from Packt's Hands-on DevOps by Sricharan Vadapalli.

Best Practices for CI/CD


Let's take a look at the best practices for CI/CD:

  • Using version control: In collaborative development environments with simultaneous development there will be multiple challenges:

    • A source code management system defines a single source of truth for the code after placing the code under a version control system. The source code will be reproducible by effectively adopting the merge process for mainline development and loop lines for bug fixes and so on in the system. Git is a popular source code management system and GitHub is a cloud variant as a Software as Service (SaaS) model:

  • Automate the build: Standardized automated build procedure will stabilize the build process to produces dependable results. The matured build process must contain the build description and all the dependencies to execute the build with a standardized build tool installation. Jenkins is the most versatile tool for build schedules; it offers a convenient UI and also has plug-ins integrating...
