Full Course Outline
Need for faster deliveries with reduced costs on one hand, and the need to deploy changes quickly with minimum downtime on the other, are twin drivers for the software development industry. Agile, Shift Left and DevOps movements are direct outcomes of these needs.
In this one-day, hands-on tutorial you will learn about the drivers of DevOps and create a CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins utilizing Git and Maven to trigger an automated compilation of code. Jenkins will also be used to trigger static analysis tools such as SonarQube and dynamic analysis tools such as JaCoCo (for code coverage) when unit tests are run.
Use of Docker is made to set up the environment using containers and the compiled app is deployed on a Docker container before running automated Selenium tests. Use of Cucumber is made for automated acceptance testing and a reporting and monitoring tool such as Nagios, is used to monitor the production system.
While Continuous Testing (CT) and automation form an important part of DevOps, culture plays an equally important role in DevOps to ensure success at minimal cost by removing barriers to information exchange. The tutorial covers not only this cultural aspect but also uses games to clarify many of these concepts.
The participant is expected to take back learning on a rich set of tools as well as clarity around various concepts of DevOps. This course covers part of DevOps United certification.
