Building Continuous Delivery Pipelines
Although continuous delivery (CD) and DevOps are growing in popularity, not much practical information is available about how to get started. Join Ken Mugrage for this hands-on technical tutorial where you can get your feet wet and your questions answered. In this workshop, Ken will provide a cloud-based instance of the continuous delivery server GoCD for you to learn on. You will configure a complete continuous delivery pipeline from source code commit through deployment. Learn when to run each common type of automated test for the fastest possible feedback and how to run tests in parallel for shorter cycle times. Moving from practice to theory, Ken explores industry studies and peer-reviewed scientific research that show the value of practicing continuous delivery and adopting a DevOps culture. He describes how the need for CD developed and then fed the requirements for culture change to support DevOps and CD practices. Learn how to create—and then practice creating—a continuous delivery pipeline … from the ground up.
ThoughtWorks’ technology evangelist Ken Mugrage focuses on providing education on DevOps and continuous delivery. He began his IT career in the early 1990s as a system administrator for Seattle’s first internet service provider. Ken went on to form his own web development company in 1994, creating some of the first data-driven websites anywhere. During the next twenty years, he held almost every position in a software development organization—from developer to director of a global engineering team. With his extensive experience Ken has consulted with top companies on applying the right technical solutions to business problems.
