Book DescriptionImplementing DevOps practices and toolchains for automated testing and deployment can accelerate product development with minimal errors in the production environment. However, creating DevOps toolchains by integrating tools from various vendors presents challenges for both administrators and developers. Written by four well-known experts from the Atlassian community, this book addresses the complexities of DevOps toolchain creation and integration by leveraging Atlassian’s Open DevOps solution.
Starting with a holistic overview of the DevOps and Atlassian Open DevOps solution, you’ll learn to integrate Jira with other tools. You’ll then find out how to create and integrate a CI/CD pipeline in Bitbucket for automated testing and deployment to Docker containers. With step-by-step guidance, you’ll connect Jira and Bitbucket with other tools, such as Snyk for security and SonarQube for testing, to form an extensive toolchain. You’ll also learn how Compass uses CheckOps for observability and how to use Confluence for documentation and reporting. Finally, you’ll leverage Opsgenie’s ChatOps functionality to enhance collaboration between developers and operations teams.
By the end of this book, you’ll be able to establish your DevOps toolchain by integrating Atlassian tools to automate and optimize the software development lifecycle and beyond.What you will learn
