Abstract
Building a solid application delivery tool chain is no easy task. The popularity of infrastructure configuration management tools like Puppet, Chef, Salt and others are a direct result of the explosion of virtual machines needing to be maintained, configured and provisioned. Learn how you can leverage these trends and combine infrastructure configuration and release automation to build a enterprise class continuous delivery solution for your business.

Lack of Coordination Results in Production Failures
1 Gartner, Four Steps to Optimize Configuration Management Process and Tools, RonniColville, October 31, 2013.
“Gartner believes that more than 80 percent of all mission-critical IT service outages result from people and process errors and failures, and of those outages, more than 50 percent result from a lack of coordination between change, release and configuration management processes.”

Challenges of Building a Continuous Delivery Tool Chain
100s, 1000s, 10,000s physical/virtual machines to provision and configure
Middleware, databases, load balancers
Applications with 100s of artifacts stored in multiple repositories
Short release cycles
Multiple releases per day/week/month

The Right Tool for the Job … Things to Consider
Continuous integration can deploy and test applications.
Infrastructure provisioning and configuration management tools claim continuous integration capabilities.
Release automation tools can provision environments.

Continuous Integration
Developers check code into a shared repository several times a day
Code is integrated and verified through an automated build process
Detects problems earlier in the cycle
Easier to correct, less back-tracking

Configuration Management
Dzone, “2014 Guide to Continuous Delivery Survey”
49%
Use configuration management tools like Puppet, Chef and CFEngine
73%
Still use manual scripts for at least half of their infrastructure changes
