The Shippable Blog

When appropriate tools & technology are available in abundance, automation is considered the primary resource to improve the efficiency of any software development process. Faster innovation cycles and speed to market are crucial to a business. With the very same principle in mind Shippable was founded so that software powered organizations could accelerate innovation. Shippable provides an integrated platform, using which you can automate your software delivery from source control to production, without needing to write complex, imperative code.

In this tutorial we will learn how to create an end to end deployment for a single service, with source code maintained in a repository on github. We will also see how to trigger tests every time the deployed environment is updated or your test cases are updated.

A Docker image registry service makes it easy for developers to store, manage, distribute and deploy Docker images. Use a registry service to control the storing of your images, fully own your images distribution pipeline and integrate image storage and distribution tightly into your in-house development work flow.

This blog covers "Pushing a Docker image to a registry of your choice" scenario in the Docker in Continuous Integration (CI) series. We'll go over a simple example and look at advanced scenarios of using Docker images within CI and Continuous Delivery (CD) Pipelines.

This blog explains "Build your own Docker image" scenario in the Docker in Continuous Integration (CI) series. The three scenarios covered in this series are:

1. Use an existing Docker image
2. Build your own Docker image
3. Push a Docker image to a registry of your choice

We'll go over the reasons to build your own Docker image, steps to do so and an example to follow along.

This blog series covers three Docker in Continuous Integration (CI) scenarios. A CI process combined with immutable Docker images expedites delivering software changes. Shippable makes it easy for you to use Docker images in your CI process, without a separate DevOps tool or code. The three scenarios covered in this series are:

1. Use an existing Docker image
2. Build your own Docker image
3. Push a Docker image to a registry of your choice

In this blog, I'll cover the first scenario.

Ever since we added Continuous Delivery pipelines to Shippable, one of the most common feature requests has been around support for deployment to the open source container orchestration platform from Google: Kubernetes. And we're excited to announce that we've added this last week! We already support Amazon ECS, Google Container Engine (GKE), Joyent Triton, and Docker Cloud/Datacenter and with Kubernetes added to this list, you can now automate deployments to any major Container Service using Shippable.
