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.

Chapter 15: Reducing Deployment Downtime

So far in this book, we have discussed DevOps practices such as Infrastructure as Code (IaC), continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, and the automation of different types of tests.

In Chapter 1, The DevOps Culture and Infrastructure as Code Practices, we saw that these DevOps practices will improve the quality of applications and thus improve the financial gain of a company. We will now go deeper into DevOps practices by looking at how to ensure the continuous availability of your applications even during your deployments, and how to deliver new versions of these applications more frequently in production.

Often, what we see is that deployments require your applications to be interrupted by—for example—infrastructure changes or service shutdowns. Moreover, what we also see is that companies are still reluctant to deliver more frequently in production. They are not equipped to test the application...
