Key Concepts:
-------------
1. Continuous Integration (CI):
- CI is the practice of automating the integration of code changes from multiple
contributors into a single software project.
- Developers frequently commit changes, which are automatically tested to
identify issues early.
- Tools: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, CircleCI.
3. Continuous Monitoring:
- Monitoring the application and infrastructure performance continuously in
production.
- Provides real-time feedback to detect issues like downtimes, performance
degradation, or failures.
- Tools: Prometheus, Grafana, Nagios.
5. SonarQube:
- A tool for continuous inspection of code quality.
- Performs static code analysis to detect bugs, vulnerabilities, and code
smells.
- Integrates seamlessly with Jenkins and other CI/CD tools.
6. Jenkins:
- An open-source automation server used to build, test, and deploy software.
- Allows the creation of pipelines that integrate with tools like SonarQube,
Docker, and Nexus.
7. Docker:
- A platform to develop, ship, and run applications in isolated environments
called containers.
- Containers ensure consistency across development, testing, and production.
8. Development Environments:
- **Development**: Where the application is coded and tested locally.
- **Staging/Pre-production**: A replica of the production environment used for
final testing.
- **Production**: The live environment where the application is available to
users.
Pipeline Stages:
----------------
- **Build**: Compile the source code.
- **Test**: Validate code functionality and quality.
- **Release**: Package the application for deployment.
- **Deploy**: Launch the application in the production environment.
- **Monitor**: Observe application performance and availability.
Advantages of DevOps:
---------------------
- Faster delivery of features.
- Improved collaboration between teams.
- Higher software quality and reduced risks.
- Real-time performance monitoring and feedback.
Glossary:
---------
- **CI/CD**: Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment.
- **CDI**: Continuous Delivery Integration.
- **Artifact**: A binary file produced during a build process.
- **Pipeline**: Automated steps for CI/CD processes.
- **Containerization**: Using Docker or similar tools to package applications with
dependencies.
