How to create immutable infrastructure for Continuous Delivery

In this session you will learn how you can utilize following DevOps & general tools to implement Continuous Delivery pipelines in immutable infrastructure:

• Docker
• Packer
• Terraform
• Ansible
• Container orchestration solutions (Kubernetes, etc)
• Jenkins 2 pipelines
• Nexus
• Rundeck
• Makefiles

We'll create fully working enterprise-grade Continuous delivery system from zero with the single command and after that, we'll analyze everything we did in details.

Hands-on samples will be used during the session. I will explain and show examples of following principles/best practices in action:

• Infrastructure as a Code
• Immutable infrastructure (vs Mutable infrastructure)
• Configuration as a Code
• Delivery pipelines as a Code
• Automation of everything
• Auto testing infrastructure changes

After that, we'll learn how to avoid bad practices/pains like:

• Snowflake servers
• Fragile infrastructure
• Producing technical debt
• Configuration drift
• Manual configuration management
• Manual deployment processes

Also, we'll check how to create Continuous deployment pipelines for the infrastructure itself!

Acquia hosting will be used as a target for the deployments.
