In part 1 of this series, I introduced the Continuous Delivery (CD) pipeline for the Manatee Tracking application. In part 2 I went over how we use this CD pipeline to deliver software from checkin to production. A list of topics for each of the articles is summarized below. Part 1: Introduction – introduction to Read more…

We help companies deliver software reliably and repeatedly using Continuous Delivery in the Cloud. With Continuous Delivery (CD), teams can deliver new versions of software to production by flattening the software delivery process and decreasing the cycle time between an idea and usable software through the automation of the entire delivery system: build, deployment, test, Read more…
Today, NetFlix announced its first open source release in its Simian Army – the Chaos Monkey. The Chaos Monkey assumes that everything will fail…eventually. The Chaos Monkey runs, by default, on your Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) infrastructure and randomly terminates instances in Auto Scaling Groups. We wrote about some of the benefits of treating instances Read more…
A Case Study on applying 100% automation to the Cloud to deliver software to users as often and as quickly as necessary. Read more…
DevOps in the Cloud LiveLessons walks viewers through the process of putting together a complete continuous delivery platform for a working software application written in Ruby on Rails along with examples in other development platforms such as Grails and Java on the companion website. These applications are deployed to Amazon Web Services (AWS), which is Read more…
This 3-hour online course is ideal for Developers or Sys Admins who want to know how to script a complete Continuous Delivery platform in the Cloud using Jenkins, AWS and Puppet. By the end of the course, you will have a working Continuous Integration system on AWS with all of the source code. The course Read more…
While we often employ a similar process when automating other parts of a software delivery system (build, deployment, database, etc.), in this article, I’m focusing on automating infrastructures. Typically, we go through a 5-step process toward automating environments that will be used as part of a Continuous Delivery pipeline. They are: document, test, script, version Read more…

NetFlix has written a lot about how they are effectively using Amazon Web Services to operate their infrastructure. I've found their development and use of the Chaos Monkey (and has even proposed its vision of a "Simian Army") to be particularly interesting. The basic premise is that all systems fail eventually so the Chaos Monkey Read more…
