Implement modern DevOps techniques to increase business productivity, agility, reliability, security, and scalability Key Features Learn how to use business resources effectively for improved productivity and collaboration - Use infrastructure as code practices to build large-scale cloud infrastructure - Leverage the ultimate open source DevOps tools to achieve continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) Book Description In the implementation of DevOps processes, the choice of tools is crucial to the sustainability of projects and collaboration between developers and ops. This book presents the different patterns and tools for provisioning and configuring an infrastructure in the cloud, covering mostly open source tools with a large community contribution, such as Terraform, Ansible, and Packer, which are assets for automation. This DevOps book will show you how to containerize your applications with Docker and Kubernetes and walk you through the construction of DevOps pipelines in Jenkins as well as Azure pipelines before covering the tools and importance of testing. You'll find a complete chapter on DevOps practices and tooling for open source projects before getting to grips with security integration in DevOps using Inspec, Hashicorp Vault, and Azure Secure DevOps kit. You'll also learn about the reduction of downtime with blue-green deployment and feature flags techniques before finally covering common DevOps best practices for all your projects. By the end of this book, you'll have built a solid foundation in DevOps and developed the skills necessary to enhance a traditional software delivery process using modern software delivery tools and techniques. What you will learn Understand the basics of infrastructure as code patterns and practices - Get an overview of Git command and Git flow - Install and write Packer, Terraform, and Ansible code for provisioning and configuring cloud infrastructure based on Azure examples - Use Vagrant to create a local development environment - Containerize applications with Docker and Kubernetes - Apply DevSecOps for testing compliance and securing DevOps infrastructure - Build DevOps CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, Azure Pipelines, and GitLab CI - Explore blue-green deployment and DevOps practices for open sources projects Who this book is for If you are an application developer or a system administrator interested in understanding continuous integration, continuous delivery, and containerization with DevOps tools and techniques, this book is for you. Knowledge of DevOps fundamentals and Git principles is required. Table of Contents The DevOps Culture and Infrastructure as Code Practices - Provisioning Cloud Infrastructure with Terraform - Using Ansible for Configuring IaaS Infrastructure - Optimizing Infrastructure Deployment with Packer - Authoring the Development Environment with Vagrant - Managing Your Source Code with Git - Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery - Deploying Infrastructure as Code with CI/CD Pipelines - Containerizing Your Application with Docker - Managing Containers Effectively with Kubernetes - Testing APIs with Postman - Static Code Analysis with SonarQube - Security and Performance Tests - Security in the DevOps Process with DevSecOps - Reducing Deployment Downtime - DevOps for Open Source Projects - DevOps Best Practices "DevOps is a culture that characterizes the contemporary IT landscape. DevOps is a new paradigm. Therefore, it is in high demand, and professionals need to constantly learn about it. The 2nd edition of Mikael Krief's book is a wonderful addition to the editorial landscape. You’ll learn about the DevOps culture, what CI/CD is, and how to benefit from Infrastructure as Code practices. You’ll then learn about Terraform and its integration with Azure along with how to use Ansible for Infrastructure as a Service configuration. But DevOps is so much more than that, and Mikael Krief knows how to present the entire landscape of tools and practices. You will learn how to use Vagrant with your development environment and how to configure the entire CI/CD pipeline by using Git, Azure Pipelines, GitLab CI, and Jenkins. You’ll then be introduced to Microservices, Docker, and Kubernetes by learning how to use those terrific tools for containers and their orchestration. By the end of the 3rd section, you will know how to create Docker containers, how to deploy them with Terraform, and how to deploy an application with Kubernetes by using Azure's AKS services. The last part of the book will teach you how to test your applications by using specific APIs with Postman and static code analysis with SonarQube. Furthermore, you will discover DevOps best practices and find out how to reduce downtime and to boost security. Mikael's book is a must-have for any professional interested in the DevOps paradigm and specific tools." -- Alexandru Calcatinge (University Lecturer at Ion Mincu University of Architecture and Urban Planning, Rom
