This book will guide you through the implementation of the real-world Continuous Delivery using top-notch technologies that are in high demand by the best companies around the world. Instead of finishing this book thinking "I know what Continuous Delivery is, but I have no idea how to implement it", you will end up with your machine set up with a Kubernetes cluster running Jenkins Pipelines in a distributed and scalable fashion (each Pipeline run on a new Jenkins `slave` dynamically allocated as a Kubernetes `pod`) to test (unit, integration, acceptance, performance and smoke tests), build (with Maven), release (to Artifactory), distribute (to Docker Hub) and deploy (on Kubernetes) a Spring Boot application to testing, staging and production environments implementing the Canary Release deployment pattern to mitigate risks.
This book is intended for Java Developers or SysAdmins interested in learning how to build a continuous delivery pipeline step by step using Kubernetes, Docker, Vagrant, Jenkins, Spring, Maven and Artifactory.
After reading this book you will be able to build production-ready Continuous Delivery Pipeline with Jenkins and Kubernetes. It is a valuable source of information for software developers who want to learn best practices of Continuous Delivery and master modern DevOps patterns with Jenkins and Kubernetes. The true power of Continuous Delivery lies in dynamic provisioning of production-like staging environment with Kubernetes Pods for acceptance and performance testing and canary releases. With one mouse-click you will be able to deploy your commit to production, through the pipeline, which will run all kinds of tests: junit, integration, acceptance and performance testing. If you don't want to hear: "it worked on DEV, why it fails on PROD?" anymore, you need Jenkins with Kubernetes and use Infrastructure as a Code to provision the same Kubernetes cluster configuration for all environments. The book covers great variety of powerful tools, which are necessary to build complete Jenkins Pipeline. You will also learn how to use Vagrant and Virtualbox to run Kubernetes cluster on your local machine. This step by step guilde is very fun to learn and provides complete picture of Continuous Delivery Pipeline with practical knowledge you can immediately apply in your own projects.
P.S. The examples in this book have been adapted for Java11 and the latest versions of Spring Boot, Jenkins and Kubernetes. The source code is available on skyglass github.
