Continuous Delivery with Docker and Jenkins: Create secure applications by building complete CI/CD pipelines, 3rd Edition

by Rafal Leszko

Create a complete continuous delivery process using modern DevOps tools such as Docker, Jenkins, Kubernetes, Ansible, Terraform, and many more

Key FeaturesBuild reliable and secure applications using Docker containersCreate a highly available environment to scale Jenkins and your services using KubernetesAutomate your release process end-to-endBook DescriptionThis updated third edition of Continuous Delivery with Docker and Jenkins will explain the advantages of combining Jenkins and Docker to improve the continuous integration and delivery process of app development.

You'll start by setting up a Docker server and configuring Jenkins on it. Next, you'll discover steps for building applications and microservices on Dockerfiles and integrating them with Jenkins using continuous delivery processes such as continuous integration, automated acceptance testing, configuration management, and Infrastructure as Code. Moving ahead, you'll learn how to ensure quick application deployment with Docker containers, along with scaling Jenkins using Kubernetes. Later, you'll explore how to deploy applications using Docker images and test them with Jenkins. Toward the concluding chapters, the book will focus on missing parts of the CD pipeline, such as the environments and infrastructure, application versioning, and non-functional testing.

By the end of this continuous integration and continuous delivery book, you'll have gained the skills you need to enhance the DevOps workflow by integrating the functionalities of Docker and Jenkins.

Pretty good book with a lot of diagrams that stick in your mind - covers in detail every aspect of building and maintaining pipelines for continuous delivery.

Very good if you want to develop a good mental model of how a modern continuous delivery pipeline using popular open source projects works in both theoretical and practical terms.

Very nice book.
It covers a lot of subjects, from the Jenkins pipeline to Docker and Kubernetes.
The author clearly tries to balance the volume of the book and the vastness of the subjects, and I believe he is successful in doing so.
After finishing the book, you can confidently assert to know, at least, the whole pipeline in my opinion.
I highly recommend this book to any mid-senior (and above) developer.

Great overview of the CI/CD landscape for total beginners. Still has enough details for each stage to get you up-and-running. Still, if you want to be an expert, you have to read more in-depth books for relevant topics.
