Rootconf 2014

This workshop is aimed at beginners to help them to set up Continuous Delivery using Jenkins and its build pipeline plugin.

The workshop will give an overview of:

• What is Continuous Integration [CI]?
• What is Continuous Delivery [CD]?
• How to setup Jenkins CI server
• Overview of Jenkins Build Pipeline Plugin
• Overview of other handy Jenkins plugins for CD implementation
• Overview of the CD practices such as:
  • Mainline Development
  • Feature Toggles
  • Build Automation
  • Deployment Automation

If time permits, we will also show an overview of how to use a similar setup of CD for Mobile Applications.

Outline

It does not matter how good our design or architecture is, at the end of the day what matters is whether our code is ready for production. But the question is, how we make sure that our code is always production ready. As described by Jez Humble [Co-author of Continuous Delivery book] Continuous Delivery [CD] is fast, automated feedback for production readiness of our code when any change that happens to the code or DB or config or the infrastructure.

During this workshop, we will give an overview of Continuous Integration[CI] and Continuous Delivery[CD] and also talk about the practices that are required for implementing CI and CD such as:

• Mainline Development
• Feature Toggles
• Build Automation
• Deployment Automation

We will also walk you through setting up CD using Jenkins and its Build Pipeline Plugin. We will also briefly touch upon open source tools that help with deployment automation such as Chef/Puppet, Capistrano etc.

Requirements

Participants are expected to get their laptops with Jenkins installed.
