Hands-On Continuous Integration and Delivery

Build and release quality software at scale with Jenkins, Travis CI, and CircleCI
Continuous Integration (CI) is an essential part of any modern development process. Gone are the days of monolithic releases with massive changes, today it's about releasing fast and often. This book will build upon the concepts of CI/CD and help you write robust automation scripts that can scale and build CI environments for different purposes.

Understand various tools and practices for building a continuous integration and delivery pipeline effectively

• Get up and running with the patterns of continuous integration
• Learn Jenkins UI for developing plugins and build an effective Jenkins pipeline
• Automate CI/CD with command-line tools and scripts

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.

• Install Jenkins on multiple operating systems
• Work with Jenkins freestyle scripts, pipeline syntax, and methodology
• Explore Travis CI build life cycle events and multiple build languages
• Master the Travis CI CLI (command-line interface) and automate tasks with the CLI
• Use CircleCI CLI jobs and work with pipelines
• Automate tasks using CircleCI CLI and learn to debug and troubleshoot
• Learn open source tooling such as Git and GitHub
• Install Docker and learn concepts in shell scripting

Hands-On Continuous Integration and Delivery is for system administrators, DevOps engineers, and build and release engineers who want to understand the concept of CI and gain hands-on experience working with prominent tools in the CI ecosystem. Basic knowledge of software delivery is an added advantage.
