• Automate

• Record

• Test

• Recover

Philosophy


• Orchestration Platform

• Delivery Manager

• Artifact Repository

The Pipeline


Jenkins(OSS Continuous Integration Server)


Orchestration platform


LiveRebel(Commercial Delivery Manager)


• Deploy/Undeploy

• Update

• No downtime

• No lost sessions

• Plain old restarts

• Environment/deployment status

What can you do with LiveRebel?


• No good OSS alternative

• Supports many app servers

• No downtime updates

• Integrates with OSS projects

Why LiveRebel?


And we freakin’built it!


Artifactory(OSS/Commercial Artifact Repository)


• FTP

• Jenkins

• Nexus (and the like)

Alternatives


Now let’s build a pipeline!


The Pipeline / The Repos

Pipeline Build Test

GO!

ProdStaging


The tools in the pipeline


Pipeline phases


Build phase


Test phase


QA phase


Production phase


Dirty details in Jenkins


• Database

• Configuration & Environment

• Tests & Monitoring

Themes Not Covered


• How do you package the application?

• Where did it come from?

• Where does it go?

• How does it get deployed?

• What exactly is in prod now?

Questions?


The answers are

in the pipeline!


• Jenkins jobs represent the workflow

• Artifactory is a sync-point

• LiveRebel manages apps and versions

• Manual flows with REST

• Tracking with scripts & text files
