The document outlines a presentation focused on creating an automated build and test pipeline for software development using various tools. It discusses the integration of technologies such as Docker, Jenkins, and Packer to facilitate the building of virtual and cloud images, while streamlining the deployment process. Additionally, it provides links to a demo application and related resources.

1. Build & test once, deploy
anywhere

2. Introduction / Use-case
• Myself: 12 sysadmin + 3 years DevOps XP
• Software development company needs to ship
code to customers
• Requirements:
– Provide OVA/OVF images for Vmware ESXi/KVM
– Provide AMI images for AWS
– Build a CI/CD pipeline for both
– Enable easy updates without full image re-import

3. Quick intro

4. Basic build & test pipeline

6. DISCLAMER – Adults only
1. The aim of the presentation is mainly to
show how can you stitch together different
tools to get an automated build and test
pipeline
2. The presentation at some places may not
follow general Docker
recommendation/guidelines for
simplification

12. Tools
• Jenkins – CI “orchestration”
• VirtualBox – VM on local machine
• Vagrant – build OVA/OVF
• Docker-mac
• Docker distribution (v2 registry) – local builds
• Packer – build AMI
• ECR – container registry for AMI build
• S3 – store container bundles for rolling updates
