Master DevOps with Jenkins: Hands-on Pipeline as Code for Continuous Integration and Delivery

Streamline Your Software Delivery with Automated Testing, Deployment, and Quality Control

In today's fast-paced development environment, efficient and reliable software delivery is paramount. Hands-on Pipeline as Code with Jenkins by Ankita Patil and Mitesh Soni, DevOps experts, equips you with the practical skills to implement robust Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines using Jenkins, a leading open-source automation server.

This comprehensive guide takes you on a step-by-step journey, empowering you to automate critical stages of your software development lifecycle, from building and testing to deployment and quality control. Whether you're a seasoned DevOps professional, a developer seeking to streamline workflows, or a beginner eager to enter the DevOps field, this book provides the knowledge and hands-on experience to excel.

Hands-on Pipeline as Code with Jenkins offers a unique blend of theoretical understanding and practical application:

DevOps Demystified: Gain a solid foundation in DevOps principles, practices, and benefits. Explore the history of DevOps and its impact on software development culture.
Jenkins Mastery: Dive deep into Jenkins 2.0 and Blue Ocean, the user-friendly interface for pipeline creation and visualization. Learn how to configure and manage Jenkins for optimal performance within your CI/CD pipeline.

Declarative Pipeline Power: Unlock the power of Declarative Pipelines, a human-readable approach to defining your CI/CD workflow. Effortlessly configure pipelines for various programming languages, including Java, Android, iOS, AngularJS, NodeJS, Flutter, Ionic Cordova, and .Net.

Continuous Code Quality: Ensure high-quality code from the start. Implement automated static code analysis using tools like SonarQube or Lint to identify potential issues early in the development cycle.

Automated Testing and Coverage: Integrate unit testing into your pipeline for automated code verification. Learn how to calculate code coverage and publish unit test reports directly within your pipeline.

Quality Gates and Build Stability: Establish quality gates to ensure code meets specific criteria before deployment. Maintain build stability and prevent regressions with automated checks.

Multi-Stage Pipelines for Efficiency: Optimize your pipeline by utilizing multi-stage builds. Separate build and deployment stages for enhanced performance and resource utilization.

Cloud Deployment Expertise: Learn how to leverage cloud platforms for streamlined deployments. Deploy applications to Azure App Services, Docker containers, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) for scalability and flexibility.

Mobile App Distribution Simplified: Distribute mobile apps (APK and IPA) seamlessly to App Center for easy access by testers and users.

Hands-on Pipeline as Code with Jenkins goes beyond theory, providing real-world practices to:

Implement Effective DevOps Practices: Learn how to effectively integrate Jenkins into your existing development workflows and establish a robust CI/CD pipeline.

Improve Code Standards: Enforce consistent coding practices and maintain high code quality through automated checks and code reviews.

Reduce Delivery Time: Automate manual tasks and streamline delivery processes to significantly reduce time-to-market for your applications.

Boost Collaboration: Foster collaboration between development, testing, and operations teams by providing a centralized platform for managing the entire software delivery lifecycle.

If you're looking to streamline your software delivery process, improve code quality, and achieve faster deployments, Hands-on Pipeline as Code with Jenkins is your essential companion.
