Preface

This book is about DevOps which is the most widely used software engineering culture and practice that aims at software development and operation. Continuous integration is a cornerstone technique of DevOps that merges software code updates from developers into a shared central mainline.

So, if you want to implement the strategy of DevOps, you are in the right path.

What's in It for Me?

Maps are vital for your journey, especially when you're holidaying in another continent. When it comes to learning, a roadmap helps you in giving a definitive path for progressing towards the goal. So, here you're presented with a roadmap before you begin your journey.

This book is meticulously designed and developed in order to empower you with all the right and relevant information on DevOps. We've created this Learning Path for you that consists of four lessons:

Lesson 1, Introduction to DevOps, focuses on business trends, drivers, market propellers of evolution, and adoption of DevOps. The key technological concepts are introduced for big data, cloud, data sciences, and in-memory computing. You will also get to know DevOps application scenarios and the benefits of adoption for an organization.

Lesson 2, DevOps Framework, covers source code management, build, repository, release managements, and test automation. Continuous integration, delivery, deployment is also covered along with infrastructure automation for configuration (Infrastructure as Code), application monitoring, and so on.

Lesson 3, DevOps – Continuous Integration and Delivery, describes the CI/CD methodology with open source popular tools such as Git, Maven, Gerrit, Nexus, Selenium, and Jenkins. You will also learn different tools and plugins compatible with Jenkins.

Lesson 4, DevOps Continuous Deployment, shows the popular continuous deployment tools Ansible and Chef; their advanced features such as Habitat, Automate, and Compliance for security. You will go through the core components, architecture, and terminology of Chef, cookbooks knife, Playbooks, and towers. You will also understand how to improve the code quality by using continuous monitoring tools such as Splunk and Nagios.

What Will I Get from This Book?

• Get familiar with life cycle models, maturity states, progression and best practices of DevOps frameworks
• Learn to set up Jenkins and integrate it with Git
• Know how to build jobs and perform testing with Jenkins
• Implement infrastructure automation (Infrastructure as Code) with tools such as Chef and Ansible
• Understand continuous monitoring process with tools such as Splunk and Nagios
• Learn how Splunk improves the code quality

Prerequisites

This book is for engineers, architects, and developers, who wish to learn the core strategies of DevOps. Some of the prerequisites that is required before you begin this book are:

• Prior knowledge on fundamentals of software development life cycle and systems
• Working knowledge of Linux commands

Chapter 1. Introduction to DevOps

In the traditional approach to application development and maintenance, multiple stakeholders, departments, groups, and vendors are involved in the overall software development life cycle (SDLC). Most of us are familiar with the stages of application life cycle management: the business requirements are gathered by a business analyst, then developed by the development team (or could have been outsourced), and tested by QA teams (also could have been outsourced) for functionality and fitness for purpose. Performance and stress testing were also performed in applicable scenarios, by appropriate groups with relevant tools. Then the production deployment process, with a checklist and approvals, was managed by the IT teams at the organization, followed by monitoring and support by maintenance teams. And we notice that each stage of the maturity cycle, from functionality development to usability and maintenance, is managed in silos, by independent teams, departments, processes, and tools. This approach is often fragmented by te...
