The CI/CD and DevOps Blog

Most organizations store proprietary Docker images in private registries. While it is easy to deploy public Docker images to Kubernetes, there are some additional steps involved when you're dealing with private images. This tutorial shows you how to configure a Kubernetes cluster to access those private images. 

The tutorial assumes that you have working knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes and understand the following concepts:

* Docker Getting Started
* Docker Registry 
* Kubernetes basics
* kubectl command
* ImagePullSecrets concept

We are excited to announce the launch of Shippable 6.5.1.You can find the release notes here: 6.5.1 Release Notes.

This release is geared towards making your CI and CD processes much faster and more efficient. Read on to discover some of the major features released today, including node caching that lets you cache docker images and everything else on the node, faster nodes with more memory, and the ability to rerun only failed jobs in a build matrix. 

This tutorial explains how to deploy a Java-based WAR package stored on Nexus Repository Manager to a virtual machine running on AWS EC2 using Ansible playbooks.

This document assumes you're familiar with the following concepts:

• Nexus Repository Quick Start
• AWS EC2
• Ansible Playbooks
• Ansible maven_artifact module
• Ansible shell module
• Ansible copy module

The best way to get started is to install Ansible on your local machine, and run your playbook manually. Follow the instructions in this blog to achieve this workflow.  Once you understand the mechanics of it, you should consider automating your workflow by following our documentation on Automated deployment of a JAR/WAR package from Nexus to AWS using Ansible.

This tutorial explains how to build and push a Java-based web application to a Nexus Repository using Maven. We are using a Java demo application that has basic CI tests.

These are the following concepts you need to be familiar with to proceed further:

• Maven in 5 mins
• Installing Maven
• Settings.xml
• pom.xml
• Nexus Repository Quick Start

This tutorial explains how to manually build and push an image to Docker Hub. As an example, we will build a Docker image for a simple Node.js application that has basic CI tests as well as code coverage reports. The Dockerfile is a part of the application repository on Github.
