Overview of this book

In the implementation of DevOps processes, the choice of tools is crucial to the sustainability of projects and collaboration between developers and ops. This book presents the different patterns and tools for provisioning and configuring an infrastructure in the cloud, covering mostly open source tools with a large community contribution, such as Terraform, Ansible, and Packer, which are assets for automation. This DevOps book will show you how to containerize your applications with Docker and Kubernetes and walk you through the construction of DevOps pipelines in Jenkins as well as Azure pipelines before covering the tools and importance of testing. You'll find a complete chapter on DevOps practices and tooling for open source projects before getting to grips with security integration in DevOps using Inspec, Hashicorp Vault, and Azure Secure DevOps kit. You'll also learn about the reduction of downtime with blue-green deployment and feature flags techniques before finally covering common DevOps best practices for all your projects. By the end of this book, you'll have built a solid foundation in DevOps and developed the skills necessary to enhance a traditional software delivery process using modern software delivery tools and techniques.

Chapter 4: Optimizing Infrastructure Deployment with Packer

In the previous chapters, we learned how to provision a cloud infrastructure using Terraform and then we continued with the automated configuration of VMs with Ansible. This automation allows us to benefit from a real improvement in productivity and very visible time-saving.

However, despite this automation, we notice the following:

  • Configuring a VM can be very time-consuming because it depends on its hardening as well as the middleware that will be installed and configured on this VM.
  • Between each environment or application, the middleware versions are not identical because their automation script is not necessarily identical or maintained over time. Hence, for example, the production environment, being more critical, will be more likely to have the latest version of packages, which is not the case in pre-production environments. And with this situation, we often encounter issues with the behavior of applications...
