In this chapter, we have set many goals to achieve throughout this book. We have covered continuous integration, resource provisioning in the cloud environment, configuration management, continuous delivery, continuous deployment, and continuous monitoring.
-Tony Robbins
We have seen how cloud computing has changed the way innovation was previously perceived and how feasible it has become now. We have also covered the need for DevOps and all different DevOps practices in brief. People, processes, and technology are also important in this whole process of changing the existing culture of an organization. We tried to touch upon the reasons why they are important. Tools are important but not the show stopper; any toolset can be utilized and changing a culture doesn't need a specific set of tools. We have discussed in brief the DevOps assessment framework as well. It will help you to get going on the path of changing culture.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
In the next chapter, we will take our first step of this journey towards continuous integration. We will use Jenkins and Microsoft Visual Studio Team Services for implementing continuous integration and verify how CI can be implemented in different tools without any major challenges.
