Implementing a continuous delivery (CD) pipeline is not trivial, and the introduction of container technology to the development stack can bring additional challenges and requirements. This session looks at the high-level steps that are essential for creating an effective pipeline for creating and deploying containerized applications. Topic covered include the impact of containers on CD, adding metadata to container images, validating NFR changes imposed by executing Java applications within a container, and lessons learned (the hard way) in production. A supporting O’Reilly report, “Containerizing Continuous Delivery in Java,” will be available.
