Automated testing and deploying of containersAbout This VideoThis comprehensive video tutorial will take you through the various methods of logging and monitoring containers.Learn how to receive metrics from log filesSet up continuous delivery systems to automate testing and deploying Docker containersIn DetailContinuous Delivery is a process whereby code changes are automatically built, tested, and prepared for release to production. This video course starts by showing you how to ship logs to a central location for easier viewing and configure monitoring services to check the health of your containers and services with AWS, Azure, and Google. You will begin by designing toolsets and components which will make up the Continuous Deployment pipeline of the futureYou will learn about logging services such as AWS, Google, and Azure. You will also learn why centralized logging is important and how container logging differs from logging from physical servers. You will then master monitoring containers and see some examples involving monitoring dashboards that will be installed in this course.Toward the end of the course, you will explore how monitoring and logging overlap, and how metrics can be retrieved from log files.All the code and supporting files for this course are available on GitHub at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Creating-Continuous-Deployment-Pipeline-for-Cloud-PlatformsDownloading the example code for this course: You can download the example code files for all Packt video courses you have purchased from your account at http://www.PacktPub.com.
