Preface

Continuous Delivery with Docker and Jenkins – Third Edition explains the advantages of combining Jenkins and Docker to improve the continuous integration and delivery process of app development. It starts with setting up a Docker server and configuring Jenkins on it. It then outlines the steps to build applications on Docker files and integrate them with Jenkins using continuous delivery processes such as continuous integration, automated acceptance testing, and configuration management.

Moving on, you will learn how to ensure quick application deployment with Docker containers, along with scaling Jenkins and using Kubernetes. After that, you will get to know how to deploy applications using Docker images and test them with Jenkins. Toward the end, the book will touch base with missing parts of the CD pipeline, which are the environments and infrastructure, application versioning, and non-functional testing.

By the end of the book, you will know how to enhance the DevOps workflow by integrating the functionalities of Docker and Jenkins.
