DevOps Pipeline for Liferay Application
Download as PPT, PDF3 likes2,952 views
The document discusses the implementation of a DevOps pipeline for Liferay applications, focusing on the benefits of automation in development and deployment processes. It highlights challenges in traditional workflows, such as manual setup and error-prone tasks, and suggests a recommended DevOps approach to streamline operations. Key tools for automating these processes, like Jenkins and Ansible, are also mentioned, along with specific roles and utility scripts developed for managing Liferay applications.

- 3. DevOps - WhyDevOps - Why DevOps reduces the cycle time from development to deployment With end to end automation, failure rate is reduced Frees up some time for team which can be used for innovations! https://puppet.com/resources/white-paper/2016-state-of-devops-report
- 4. DevOps - WhatDevOps - What Driving principles ◦ Maximize left to right flow ofWork from Development to IT Operations to Customer. In order to maximize the flow we need small intervals of work, never passing defects to downstream. ◦ Constant flow of feedback from right to left at all stages of the value stream ◦ Create a culture that forests continuous experimentation (which helps continuous innovation) and understanding that repetition and practice is pre requisite to mastery.This https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phoenix_Project_(novel)

- 7. Liferay Application LifecycleLiferay Application Lifecycle Traditional Flow - ChallengesTraditional Flow - Challenges There are few tasks that need to be initiated or require physical resource.This could potentially cause delays due to non-availability of concerned resource. The tasks that are done manually are error prone and don’t guarantee to be consistent. In case of manual set up of environment it is possible to install wrong version of S/W. One of the critical component of the Liferay application is Themes and Layouts. In general these are configured manually by development team even in Production, post application deployment.

- 12. Automated Activities & CodeAutomated Activities & Code Using CI/CD tool jenkins along with Ansible playbooks, we achieved automating the end to end flow. The new process enables - ◦ Build and generate "build once, deploy everywhere" Liferay application packages ◦ Quick and easy setup of environments (Dev,Test, QA and Prod) and automated deployment and installation of the software on new servers including automatically configuring Layouts and Themes ◦ Automated deployment of upgrades on existing servers ◦ Execute multiple build, release, and deployment jobs ◦ Provision and configure nodes ◦ Monitor and Report ◦ Backup and Restore

CodeCode List of Ansible roles and their brief descriptiion ◦ mysql-db-liferay-user: Installs mysql and creates mysql user ◦ liferay-portal: Installs Java and Liferay portal ◦ portal-sdk: Deploys the application into liferay ◦ backup: Creates Portal backup snapshot ◦ restore: Restores Portal snapshot List of utility shell script to trigger different Ansible roles ◦ portal_deploy.sh: Run to install mysql, liferay and deploy the portal and application ◦ portal_update.sh: Run to update the application on portal. ◦ portal_backup.sh: Run to create a snapshot of the portal application ◦ portal_restore.sh: Run to restore the portal snapshot Above code is available at https://github.com/gunduv/portal- deployment
