Are you stuck in the new DevOps matrix from hell?

Source – sdtimes.com If you google “matrix from hell,” you’ll see many articles about how Docker solves the matrix from hell. So, what is the matrix from hell? Put simply, it is the challenge of packaging any application, regardless of language/frameworks/dependencies, so that it can run on any cloud, regardless of operating systems/hardware/infrastructure. The original matrix from hell: applications were tightly coupled with underlying hardware Docker solved for the matrix from hell by decoupling the application from the underlying operating system

Continuous Delivery with VSTS and Jenkins

Source – stackoverflow.com I’m trying to get continuous delivery going with Jenkins (building, deploying) and VSTS (source control). This is the desired workflow: a developer branches off master, makes changes, creates a pull request another developer reviews the PR and eventually merges it into master some system (Jenkins or VSTS) detects that a PR was merged into master and… increments a version number stored in a file within the repo commits the version change back to master builds deploys I was

Jenkins Continuous Deployment

Source – wisdomjobs.com How Jenkins supports continuous deployment? Jenkins offers good support for continuous deployment and delivery. Flow of any software development through deployment is shown below. Main part of Continuous deployment is to make sure that the entire above shown process is automated. Jenkins accomplishes all of this using various plugins, one of them being “Deploy to container Plugin” which was seen in the earlier lessons. Many plugins are available which can actually give a graphical representation of the Continuous

Continuous integration tools: Jenkins vs Travis CI

Source – blogs.fasthosts.co.uk Continuous integration tools: Jenkins vs Travis CI Software development can be complicated, especially when things go wrong. Say two developers are working on a project. They are each coding on separate branches of the master code in isolation. Throughout development they’ve tested their code and everything works. When they’ve completed their code they test it again and everything works. Then when it’s all finished, they both integrate their code into the master and… everything breaks. This is

Continuous deployment using Jenkins

Source – thumbtack.com When I joined at Thumbtack, back in late 2015, we had continuous delivery infrastructure for monolith builds. As more engineers joined, we noticed that a significant amount of time went to deploying the latest build. Moreover, there was a trend of having bigger deploys (so call train deploys) and rollbacks tend to be harder. It was a clear indicator we needed to invest into the deployment pipeline. Continuous delivery At Thumbtack, we use Gerrit for code review.

Customizing your Docker container

Source:- mesosphere.com About customizing your Docker container By default, Mesosphere DC/OS runs everything inside Docker containers to minimize dependencies on the underlying host operating system and to offer resilience in the event of a machine failure. When using Jenkins for DC/OS, the underlying Mesos scheduler in DC/OS creates new Jenkins agents that run as Mesos tasks within a Docker container. User-configured builds are then run inside the same container. Because builds typically have steps that invoke the Docker utility, such
