Book Description
The DevOps culture is growing at a massive rate, as many organizations are adopting it. However, implementing it for web applications is one of the biggest challenges experienced by many developers and admins, which this book will help you overcome using various tools such as Chef, Docker, and Jenkins.
On the basis of the functionality of these tools, the book is divided into three parts. The first part shows you how to use Jenkins 2.0 for Continuous Integration of a sample JEE application. The second part explains the Chef configuration management tool, and provides an overview of Docker containers, resource provisioning in Cloud environments using Chef, and Configuration Management in a Cloud environment. The third part explores Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment in AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Docker, all using Jenkins 2.0.
This book combines the skills of both web application deployment and system configuration as each chapter contains one or more practical hands-on projects. You will be exposed to real-world projects scenarios that are progressively presented from easy to complex solutions. We will teach you concepts such as hosting web applications, configuring runtime environment, monitoring, and hosting on various Cloud platforms, and managing them. This book will show you how to essentially host and manage web applications along with Continuous Integration, Cloud Computing, Configuration Management, Continuous Monitoring, Continuous Delivery, and Deployment.
What you will learn
- Grasp Continuous Integration for a JEE application-create and configure a Build Job for a Java application with Maven and with Jenkins 2.0
- Create built-in delivery pipelines of Jenkins 2 and build a pipeline configuration for end-to-end automation to manage the lifecycle of Continuous Integration
- Get to know all about configuration management using Chef to create a runtime environment
- Perform instance provisioning in AWS and Microsoft Azure and manage virtual machines on different cloud platforms-install Knife plugins for Amazon EC2 and Microsoft Azure
- Deploy an application in Amazon EC2, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Microsoft Azure Web Apps, and a Docker container
- Monitor infrastructure, application servers, web servers, and applications with the use of open source monitoring solutions and New Relic
- Orchestrate multiple build jobs to achieve application deployment automation-create parameterized build jobs for end-to-end automation
