I have worked in Continuous Delivery projects for yet-to-be-famous tech startups and with well-established companies like Apple, Yahoo!, GoPro, ThoughtWorks, Walmart.com and PricewaterhouseCoopers Ltd. I share my experience of releasing software from a source code control repository to Production, and how the manual processes can be fully automated with good design and smart decisions. In this book, I zoom in on the choking points, so that my readers can accelerate through their own design and implementations.

Understand various tools and practices for building a continuous integration and delivery pipeline effectively Key Features 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 Book Description 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. What you will learn 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 Who this book is for 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.
