Overview of this book

In the implementation of DevOps processes, the choice of tools is crucial to the sustainability of projects and collaboration between developers and ops. This book presents the different patterns and tools for provisioning and configuring an infrastructure in the cloud, covering mostly open source tools with a large community contribution, such as Terraform, Ansible, and Packer, which are assets for automation. This DevOps book will show you how to containerize your applications with Docker and Kubernetes and walk you through the construction of DevOps pipelines in Jenkins as well as Azure pipelines before covering the tools and importance of testing. You'll find a complete chapter on DevOps practices and tooling for open source projects before getting to grips with security integration in DevOps using Inspec, Hashicorp Vault, and Azure Secure DevOps kit. You'll also learn about the reduction of downtime with blue-green deployment and feature flags techniques before finally covering common DevOps best practices for all your projects. By the end of this book, you'll have built a solid foundation in DevOps and developed the skills necessary to enhance a traditional software delivery process using modern software delivery tools and techniques.

Creating a Postman collection with requests

Postman is a free client tool in a graphical format that can be installed on any type of OS. Its role is to test APIs through requests, which we will organize into collections. It also allows us to dynamize API tests through the use of variables and the implementation of environments. Postman is famous for its ease of use, but also for the advanced features that it offers.

In this section, we will learn how to create and install a Postman account, then we will create a collection that will serve as a folder to organize our requests, and finally, we will create a request that will test a demo API.

Before we use Postman, we will need to create a Postman account by going to https://www.postman.com/ and clicking on the Sign Up for Free button. In the form, click on the Create Account link, as shown in the following screenshot:
