Learning DevOps

Chapter 1: The DevOps Culture and Infrastructure as Code Practices

DevOps, a term that we hear more and more in enterprises with phrases such as We do DevOps or We use DevOps tools, is the contraction of the words "Development" and "Operations."

DevOps is a culture that's different from traditional corporate cultures and requires a change in mindset, processes, and tools. It is often associated with continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) practices, which are software engineering practices, but also with Infrastructure as Code (IaC), which consists of codifying the structure and configuration of infrastructure.

In this chapter, we will see what DevOps culture is, what DevOps principles are, and the benefits they bring to a company. Then, we will explain CI/CD practices and, finally, we will detail IaC with its patterns and practices.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Getting started with DevOps
  • Implementing CI/CD and continuous deployment
  • Understanding IaC practices

Key benefits

  • Learn how to use business resources effectively for improved productivity and collaboration
  • Use infrastructure as code practices to build large-scale cloud infrastructure
  • Leverage the ultimate open source DevOps tools to achieve continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD)

Description

In the implementation of DevOps processes, the choice of tools is crucial to the sustainability of projects and collaboration between developers and ops. This book presents the different patterns and tools for provisioning and configuring an infrastructure in the cloud, covering mostly open source tools with a large community contribution, such as Terraform, Ansible, and Packer, which are assets for automation. This DevOps book will show you how to containerize your applications with Docker and Kubernetes and walk you through the construction of DevOps pipelines in Jenkins as well as Azure pipelines before covering the tools and importance of testing. You'll find a complete chapter on DevOps practices and tooling for open source projects before getting to grips with security integration in DevOps using Inspec, Hashicorp Vault, and Azure Secure DevOps kit. You'll also learn about the reduction of downtime with blue-green deployment and feature flags techniques before finally covering common DevOps best practices for all your projects. By the end of this book, you'll have built a solid foundation in DevOps and developed the skills necessary to enhance a traditional software delivery process using modern software delivery tools and techniques.

Who is this book for?

If you are an application developer or a system administrator interested in understanding continuous integration, continuous delivery, and containerization with DevOps tools and techniques, this book is for you. Knowledge of DevOps fundamentals and Git principles is required.

What you will learn

  • Understand the basics of infrastructure as code patterns and practices
  • Get an overview of Git command and Git flow
  • Install and write Packer, Terraform, and Ansible code for provisioning and configuring cloud infrastructure based on Azure examples
  • Use Vagrant to create a local development environment
  • Containerize applications with Docker and Kubernetes
  • Apply DevSecOps for testing compliance and securing DevOps infrastructure
  • Build DevOps CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, Azure Pipelines, and GitLab CI
  • Explore blue-green deployment and DevOps practices for open sources projects

If you have ever thought of learning about DevOps, how to create a DevOps cultural mindset and how to implement the IT infrastructure you need. This is the book for you. Also, if you want to learn about MLOps, this is a great starting point. Kudos Mikael for a great second edition to the book.

This book is worth a read for any beginner who plan on using Azure to deploy their web applications. Through it, you will learn a lot of basic things such as using Git but also get a good introduction to some more advanced DevOps topics and tools. I particularly liked the fact that this book closes the "DevOps feedback loop" by showing you practical ways to test your code such that you can build and run a CI/CD pipeline with minimal downtime

I've had the chance to take a look to the book for a couple of weeks and I must say I have really enjoyed it and have learnt a lot. It is a really good book, not only for people on DevOps, but also for people working on Data Science and MLOps, who want to get an insight into the whole Deployment chain (and more!).It is fairly comprehensive and covers all sides of the process, from setting the infrastructures, to creating and managing the CI/CD Pipelines, to testing performance and security. It emphasizes the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) culture and provides not only good examples and a very direct and practical approach, but also a lot of info about good practices.Most likely, people with experience in DevOps will surely already be familiar with many of the techniques and tools detailed in the book, since all the basics are covered, but the fact of also reviewing case studies and the idea of having all that detailed information together in one book (more than 500 pages) makes it very interesting not only for beginners but also as a reference book.

The problem with books about DevOps is that they typically deep dive in the trenches of DevOps technology right from the start. But, DevOps in the first place is about culture, it’s a mindshift. A mindshift to the left, granting teams to take more responsibility on how they develop and operate products. That comes with trust and trust is a matter of culture.In all honesty, reading the subtitel of this book, made me worry a bit. Reading words such as Terraform, Kubernetes, Jenkins and Azure DevOps does give the impression that is very much a tech-book for developers - although culture adoption is mentioned as well in the title. Mikael Krief rightfully starts with this: the cultural aspects of DevOps. But let there be no mistake: this is a tech-book, going through every aspect of Infrastructure as Code, configuration as code, CI/CD pipelines, containers and container orchestration with Kubernetes.The first three sections is a deep dive in the industry leading tooling, starting with Terraform to deploy infrastructure to Azure. (Be aware that this book focuses on the usage in Azure.) Next, we get into Ansible to configure the infrastructure and Packer to optimize the infra. The second section is about setting up the CI/CD pipelines, using Git, Jenkins and Azure DevOps. Logically, this section is followed by an extensive guide on how to work with Docker containers and Kubernetes container orchestration. Since the book focuses on Azure, obviously there's quite some detailing on using Helm charts with ACR and AKS.Again, the author gets me worried a bit at this stage. DevOps is a shift-left movement, so where's the security and specially the testing of the code? Test-driven development is likely one of the most important aspects in DevOps and luckily the whole of section 4 is about testing the application, security and performance tests. In the final chapter, best practices are listed, including the shift-left in security.In short: this is probably one of the most complete books on DevOps targeting the Azure cloud. In well over 500 pages every aspect of DevOps is discussed. The only 'downside' is that by trying to be as complete as the author, topics tend to just start scratching the surface. But overall: this is a very good, yet technical introduction to learn about DevOps.
