About the free ebook with audio
Introduction to DevOps and CI/CD Automation
This free ebook introduces the practices, culture, and automation patterns that help software teams deliver reliable applications faster. It explains how DevOps connects development and operations through shared responsibility, repeatable processes, feedback, and continuous improvement.
Build a practical CI/CD foundation
Learn how Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery turn code changes into tested, traceable, deployable software. The ebook explores Git workflows, CI and CD tools, build triggers, build scripts, dependency management, artifact generation and storage, notifications, quality checks, and pipeline security.
- Configure repositories and version-control workflows.
- Create pipelines that build, test, analyze, and package code.
- Use automated tests, coverage reports, isolated environments, and flaky-test detection.
- Apply monitoring, logging, and feedback loops to improve delivery.
Explore modern delivery practices
Discover how Jenkins, Travis CI, CircleCI, Docker, Kubernetes, cloud platforms, and Infrastructure as Code tools support automated delivery. The ebook also covers configuration management, microservices, virtualization, staging and production environments, and deployment approaches such as Blue/Green, canary releases, and A/B testing.
Security, quality, and measurable outcomes
Learn where DevSecOps, static analysis, software quality tools, and operational metrics fit into the delivery lifecycle. Practical examples and workshops help you connect technical choices to deployment reliability, scalability, troubleshooting, and continuous learning.
Whether you are designing a first pipeline or improving an existing workflow, this ebook provides a structured path for understanding the systems and habits behind effective DevOps automation.
What stages should a CI pipeline include?
A typical CI pipeline versions code, restores dependencies, builds, runs tests and analysis, creates artifacts, stores results, and sends notifications.
What is the difference between Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment?
Continuous Delivery keeps releases ready for approval, while Continuous Deployment automatically releases validated changes to production.
How do Blue/Green and canary deployments reduce release risk?
Blue/Green switches traffic between environments, while canary releases expose a new version to a small audience before wider rollout.
