Follow this step-by-step guide for creating a continuous delivery pipeline using all of the new features in Jenkins 2.0 such as Pipeline as a Code, multi-branch pipeline, and more. You will learn three crucial elements for achieving a faster software delivery pipeline: a fungible build/test environment, manageable and reproducible pipelines, and a scalable build/test infrastructure. Pro Continuous Delivery demonstrates how to create a highly available, active/passive Jenkins server using some niche technologies. What You'll Learn Create a highly available, active/passive Jenkins server using CoreOS and Docker, and using Pacemaker and Corosync Use a Jenkins multi-branch pipeline to automatically perform continuous integration whenever there is a new branch in your source control system Describe your continuous delivery pipeline with Jenkinsfile Host Jenkins server on a cloud solution Run Jenkins inside a container using Docker Discover how the distributed nature of Git and the "merge before build" feature of Jenkins can be used to implement gated check-in Implement a scalable build farm using Docker and Kubernetes Who This Book Is For You have experience implementing continuous integration and continuous delivery using Jenkins freestyle Jobs and wish to use the new Pipeline as a Code feature introduced in Jenkins 2.0 Your source code is on a Git-like version control system (Git, GitHub, GitLab, etc.) and you wish to leverage the advantages of a multi-branch pipeline in Jenkins Your infrastructure is on a Unix-like platform and you wish to create a scalable, distributed build/test farm using Docker or Kubernetes You are in need of a highly available system for your Jenkins Server using open source tools and technologies

Dive deep into Jenkins Blue Ocean and discover how easy creating a pipeline can be. You'll see how Blue Ocean provides a better user experience when designing, running, and visualizing pipelines. This book shows you its intuitive user interface and its powerful pipeline editor and how this makes it a tool for everyone. Beginning Jenkins Blue Ocean starts with an introduction to Blue Ocean, followed by a step-by-step guide on how to set it up. You'll learn how to create a pipeline for every branch and pull request on your Git, GitHub, and GitLab repositories. You'll experience the improved pipeline visualization and log diagnosis features in Blue Ocean. Later you will go beyond the visual pipeline editor to learn the declarative syntax and gain better control over your pipelines. Then, you'll take a look at some tools to enable you to write pipeline code in the declarative syntax. You will also learn to extend delivery pipelines with Jenkins shared libraries. What You Will Learn Discover Jenkins Blue Ocean and how to use it Create elegant pipelines using the visual pipeline editor Work with the declarative pipeline syntax Use tools that help you write declarative pipeline code Extend pipelines with Jenkins shared libraries Visualize pipelines from classic Jenkins in Blue Ocean Configure and view test results in Blue Ocean Accurately diagnose pipeline failures using improved pipeline visualization Create multibranch pipeline projects for your Git, GitHub, and GitLab repositories Who This Book Is For Those new to Jenkins who are looking for an easy introduction. The book will also be useful for readers familiar with classic Jenkins and would like to learn Jenkins Blue Ocean.

It's a good starting point for anyone new to this field who wants to leverage the benefits of CI and CD to increase productivity and reduce delivery time. It's ideal for Build and Release engineers, DevOps engineers, SCM (Software Configuration Management) engineers, developers, testers, and project managers. If you're already using Jenkins for CI, you can take your project to the next level-CD. What You Will Learn * Get to know some of the most popular ways to set up Jenkins * See all the new features introduced in the latest Jenkins, such as pipeline as code, Multibranch pipeline, and more * Manage users, projects, and permissions in Jenkins to ensure better security * Leverage the power of plugins in Jenkins * Learn how to create a CI pipeline using Jenkins Blue Ocean * Create a distributed build farm using Docker and use it with Jenkins * Implement CI and CD using Jenkins * See the difference between CD and Continuous Deployment * Understand the concepts of CI In Detail In past few years, agile software development has seen tremendous growth. There is a huge demand for software delivery solutions that are fast yet flexible to numerous amendments. As a result, Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) methodologies are gaining popularity. This book starts off by explaining the concepts of CI and its significance in the Agile. Next, you'll learn how to configure and set up Jenkins in many different ways. The book exploits the concept of "pipeline as code" and various other features introduced in the Jenkins 2.x release to their full potential. We also talk in detail about the new Jenkins Blue Ocean interface and the features that help to quickly and easily create a CI pipeline. Then we dive into the various features offered by Jenkins one by one, exploiting them for CI and CD. Jenkins' core functionality and flexibility allows it to fit in a variety of environments and can help streamline the development process for all stakeholders. Next, you'll be introduced to CD and will learn how to achieve it using Jenkins. Through this book's wealth of best practices and real-world tips, you'll discover how easy it is to implement CI and CD using Jenkins. Style and approach The book uses a simple Maven project to demonstrate the implementation of CI and CD using Jenkins. This step-by-step guide shows you how to implement CI/CD and can be used as a template to perform CI/CD in your projects.
