INTRODUCTION
TO DEVOPS
DevOps is a software development strategy that bridges the gap between the
developers and the IT staff. With DevOps, organizations can release small
features very quickly and incorporate the feedback which they receive
immediately. DevOps process involves a lot of development, testing, and
deployment of technologies for developing automated CI/ CD pipelines.

1.1 Why DevOps?
The Waterfall Model is a model of software
development that is pretty straightforward
and linear. This model follows a top-down
approach.
4
Before DevOps came into existence, IT Companies developed software using traditional methods
such as Waterfall Model & Agile Methodology. Let's have a quick overview of what these
methodologies are and how exactly do they work.
Waterfall Model
Challenges
a. Risky and uncertain
b. Lack of visibility of the current progress
c. Not suitable when the requirements keep changing
d. Difficult to make changes in the testing phase
e. The end product is available only at the end of the cycle
f. Not suitable for large and complex projects
Agile Methodology
Challenges
a. Highly dependent on clear customer requirements
b. Quite difficult to predict time and effort for larger
projects
c. Not suitable for complex projects
d. Lacks documentation efficiency
e. Increased maintainability risks
Agile is an iterative based software
development approach where the software
project is broken down into various iterations
or sprints. Every iteration has phases like the
waterfall model such as requirements
gathering, design, development, testing, and
maintenance.

1.2 How DevOps helps?
5
According to the DevOps culture, a single group of Engineers (developers, system admins, QA,
Testers, etc., turned into DevOps Engineers) has end-to-end responsibility of the application
(software) right from gathering the requirement to development, to testing, to infrastructure
deployment, to application deployment and finally monitoring & gathering feedback from the end-
users, then again implementing the changes.
DevOps integrates developers and operations teams to improve collaboration and productivity.
Waiting time for code deployment
Dev Challenges DevOps Solution
Continuous integration ensures there is a quick
development of code, faster testing, and a speedy
feedback mechanism.
Pressure of work on old , pending
and new code
There is no waiting time to deploy the code. Hence the
developer focuses on building the current code.
Difficult to maintain uptime of the
production environment
Ops Challenges DevOps Solution
Containerization/Virtualization ensures there is a
simulated environment created to run the software as
containers offer great reliability for service uptime.
Tools to automate infrastructure
management are not effective
Configuration Management helps you to organize
and execute configuration plans, consistently
provision the system & proactively manage their
infrastructure.
No. of servers to be monitored
increases
Difficult to diagnose and provide
feedback on the product
Continuous Monitoring
Effective monitoring and feedbacks systems is
established through Nagios. Thus effective
administration is assured.

DEVOPS TOOLS & LIFECYCLE
PHASES
Chapter 2
To expedite and actualize DevOps processes apart from culturally accepting it, one also needs various
DevOps tools like Puppet, Jenkins, GIT, Chef, Docker, Selenium, AWS, etc., to achieve automation at
various stages. Now take a look at the below DevOps diagram with various DevOps Tools closely and
try to decode it.
These tools have been categorized into various stages of DevOps. Hence it is important for you to
understand the DevOps Lifecycle stages ﬁrst.
DevOps Lifecycle can be broadly broken down into the below-listed stages:
a. Continuous Development
b. Continuous Integration
c. Continuous Testing
d. Continuous Monitoring
e. Virtualization and Containerization
2.1 DevOps Lifecycle Phases
US: 18338555775

7
Let's now learn more about each of these stages one by one.
This is the phase that involves ‘planning‘ and ‘coding‘ of the software. You decide the project
vision during the planning phase and the developers begin developing the code for the
application.

CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT
Tools: Git, SVN, Mercurial, CV
This stage is the core of the entire DevOps life cycle. It is a practice in which the developers
require to commit changes to the source code more frequently. This may be either on a daily or
weekly basis.
CONTINUOUS INTEGRATION
Tools: Jenkins, TeamCity, Travis
This is the stage where you test the developed software continuously for bugs using automation
testing tools.

CONTINUOUS TESTING
Tools: Jenkins, Selenium TestNG, JUnit
This is the stage where you deploy the code on the production servers. It is also important to
ensure that you correctly deploy the code on all the servers. The mentioned set of tools here help
in achieving Continuous Deployment (CD).
CONTINUOUS DEPLOYMENT
Conﬁguration Management Tools – Chef, Puppet, Ansible
Containerization Tools – Docker, Vagrant
This is a very critical stage of the DevOps lifecycle where you continuously monitor the
performance of your application. Here you record vital information about the use of the software.
You then process this information to check the proper functionality of the application. You
resolve system errors such as low memory, server not reachable, etc in this phase.

VERSION CONTROL
WITH GIT & GITHUB
Chapter 3
Git is a Distributed Version Control tool that supports distributed non-linear workflows by providing
data assurance for developing quality software.
Every programmer maintains a local repository on
its own, which is actually the copy or clone of the
central repository on their hard drive. They can
commit and update their local repository without
any interference. They can update their local
repositories with new data from the central server
by an operation called “pull” and affect changes to
the main repository by an operation called “push”
from their local repository.
Git plays a vital role when it comes to managing the code that the collaborators contribute to the shared
repository. Whereas this code is then extracted for performing continuous integration to create a 'build'
and test it on the test server and eventually deploy it on the production.
Git is a version control tool that will allow you to perform all kinds of operations to fetch data from the
central server or push data to it whereas GitHub is a code hosting platform for version control
collaboration. GitHub is a company that allows you to host a central repository on a remote server.
TOP GIT COMMANDS
COMMAND USAGE DESCRIPTION

CONTINUOUS
INTEGRATION WITH
JENKINS
Chapter 4
4.1 Pipeline Concepts in Jenkins
Jenkins is an open-source automation tool
written in Java with plugins built for
Continuous Integration purposes. It is used to
build and test your software projects
continuously making it easier for developers
to integrate changes to the project, and
making it easier for users to obtain a fresh
'build'.
The following are some facts about Jenkins
that makes it better than other Continuous
Integration tools:
Adoption: Jenkins is widespread, with more than 147,000 active installations and over 1 million users
around the world.
Plugins: Jenkins is interconnected with over 1,000 plugins that allow it to integrate with most of the
development, testing and deployment tools.
To carry out continuous delivery, Jenkins introduced a new feature called the Jenkins pipeline.
A pipeline is a collection of jobs that brings the software from version control into the hands of the end-
users by using automation tools.

P
S
1. Log in to Jenkins and select ‘New item’ from the dashboard
2. Next, enter a name for your pipeline and select ‘pipeline’ project. Click on ‘OK’ to proceed
3. Scroll down to the pipeline and choose if you want a declarative pipeline or a scripted one
4. a. If you want a scripted pipeline then choose ‘pipeline script’ and start typing your code
b. If you want a declarative pipeline then select ‘pipeline script from SCM’ to choose your SCM
5. Within the script, the path is the name of the Jenkinsfile that is going to be accessed from your
SCM to run. Finally, click on ‘apply’ and ‘save’
6. You have successfully created your first Jenkins pipeline
PIPELINE
This is a user-defined block that contains all the processes such as build, test, deploy, etc.
NODE
A node is a machine that executes an entire workflow.
AGENT
An agent is a directive that can run multiple builds with only one instance of Jenkins.
ANY
Runs the pipeline/ stage on any available agent.
NONE
This parameter is applied at the root of the pipeline and it indicates that there is no global agent for the
entire pipeline and each stage must specify its own agent.
LABEL
Executes the pipeline/stage on the labelled agent.
DOCKER
This parameter uses Docker containers as an execution environment for the pipeline or a specific stage.
STAGES
This block contains all the work that needs to be carried out. The work is specified in the form of stages.
There can be more than one stage within this directive. Each stage performs a specific task
STEPS
A series of steps can be defined within a stage block. These steps are carried out in sequence to execute
a stage.

CONTAINERIZATION
WITH DOCKER
Chapter 5
Containerization is a type of Virtualization that brings
virtualization to the operating system level. Docker is a
platform that packages an application and all its
dependencies together in the form of containers. This
containerization aspect ensures that the application
works in any environment.
As you can see in the diagram, each and every
application runs on separate containers and has its own
set of dependencies & libraries. This makes sure that
each application is independent of other applications,
giving developers surety that they can build
applications that will not interfere with one another.
Dockerﬁle, Docker Images & Docker Containers are three important terms that you need to
understand while using Docker.
Dockerfile
01 Docker Image
02 Docker Container
03
A Dockerﬁle is a text
document which contains all
the commands that a user
can call on the command line
to assemble an image
In layman terms, Docker
Image can be compared to a
template which is used to
create Docker Containers
It is a running instance of a
Docker Image as they hold
the entire package needed to
run the application

5.1 Docker Commands
1. docker –version
This command is used to get the currently installed version of docker.
2. docker pull
This command is used to pull images from the docker repository(hub.docker.com)
Usage: docker pull <image name>
3. docker run
This command is used to create a container from an image.
Usage: docker run -it -d <image name>
4. docker exec
This command is used to access the running container.
Usage: docker exec -it <container id> bash
This command stops a running container.
Usage: docker stop <container id>
5. docker stop
6. docker kill
This command kills the container by stopping its execution immediately.
Usage: docker kill <container id>
7. docker commit
This command creates a new image of an edited container on the local system.
Usage: docker commit <conatainer id> <username/imagename>
This command is used to push an image to the docker hub repository.
Usage: docker push <username/image name>
8. docker push
This command is used to build an image from a specified docker file.
Usage: docker build <path to docker file>
9. docker build

CONTINUOUS DEPLOYMENT
WITH PUPPET
Chapter 6
Puppet is a Configuration Management tool that is used for deploying, configuring and managing
servers. Puppet uses a Master-Slave architecture in which the Master and Slave communicate
through a secure encrypted channel with the help of SSL.
6.1 Puppet for Infrastructure
Automation
Puppet uses a declarative model-based approach to IT
automation. This enables Puppet to define infrastructure as
code and enforce system configuration with programs.
Puppet’s declarative language is used to describe the
desired state of the system in files called manifests.
Manifests describe how you should configure your network
and operating system resources, such as files, packages, and
services. Puppet compiles manifests into catalogs and it
applies each catalog to its corresponding node to ensure
that configuration of the node is correct across your
infrastructure.

Chapter 7
Selenium is an open-source tool that is used for automating the tests carried out on web browsers.
Test scripts can be written in various programming languages and carried out in any Operating
Systems. It can be integrated with tools such as TestNG & JUnit for managing test cases and
generating reports.
Selenium is mainly comprised of a suite of tools, which include:
7.1 Creating TestNG cases in Selenium

CONTINUOUS
MONITORING WITH
NAGIOS
Chapter 8
Nagios is used for Continuous monitoring of systems, applications, services, and business processes,
etc., in a DevOps culture. In the event of a failure, Nagios can alert technical staff of the problem,
allowing them to begin remediation processes before outages affect business processes, end-users,
or customers.
Nagios runs on a server, usually as a daemon or a service. It periodically runs plugins residing on the
same server, they contact hosts or servers on your network or on the internet. One can view the
status information using the web interface. You can also receive email or SMS notiﬁcations if
something happens. The Nagios daemon behaves like a scheduler that runs certain scripts at certain
moments. It stores the results of those scripts and will run other scripts if these results change.

DevOps strategy is implemented in the
end-to-end development of the product,
while bringing about a positive
difference in the environment. The
DevOps Evangelist also finds ways to
improve the existing architecture of the
product keeping in mind the various
automation tools available and the skills
that ‘Dev’ and ‘Ops’ guy consist of.
Managing other DevOps roles and
obtaining full efficiency from the team is
his primary target.
DevOps Evangelist
Security Engineers are as important as
any other role because they are the
one’s monitoring the deliverability of
the product. They work side by side
with developers, embedding their
recommendations (security patches)
much earlier in this process. They also
monitor the systems to check its
performance, report any downtime
faced by the system and drill down to
find out what caused it.
Security Engineer
An automation expert must understand
what can be automated and how a
product stack can be integrated with
another product stack. They analyze,
design and implement strategies for
continuous deployments while ensuring
high availability of production and pre-
production systems.
