In this September month article, I’ll be sharing why and how to create a highly available multibranch pipeline in Jenkins with Kaniko.

Some not so deep concepts…

Multibranch Pipeline

Multibranch pipeline in Jenkins allows creating and triggering pipeline based on branch and pull requests. We create different Jenkinsfile for the different branches, typically environments like dev, stg, preprod or prod with their respective values. A multi-branch pipeline project scans the source code repository and creates a pipeline job automatically for each branch containing a Jenkinsfile, which means we are removing the overhead of maintaining a different and manual pipeline for each environment or branch.

Multibranch pipeline allows…

Data — a very vital aspect of your application/software and everyday data are increasing as we are shifting more towards digital devices. In 2020, there will be around 40 trillion Gigabytes of data (40 Zettabytes). Woah!!! that’s a lot. Crucial, sensitive and private data are also a part of this 40 trillion Gigs and in August Month blog I’m going to share how to secure your MongoDB database on Google Cloud Platform from getting a compromised.

I’ve seen many companies prefer to install MongoDB on instance/virtual machine (for dev, uat or staging environment) instead of using Managed Service provided by…

The idea of the July month blog is to achieve task automation in case of any breach or failure in Google Compute Instances with Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub, Cloud Build and Cloud Monitoring. We need all these Google Cloud services to achieve automation.

This blog wouldn’t be possible without a major contribution of Pranay Nanda. Pranay have an amazing in-depth knowledge and experience of Google Cloud and Cloud Solution Designing. Currently working as a Cloud Architect at MediaAgility and Organizer of GDG Cloud New Delhi, Pranay has taken numerous session on Google Cloud. He is my mentor and friend.

Proper, reliable, and stable application deployment on the cloud environment is one of the main tasks that DevOps/Cloud Engineers do. Deploying from a development environment to deployment on the production environment via testing and staging environment is an amazing journey because each environment has different sets of requirements and needs. Actually in my view application deployment was always an important and challenging task whether you were deploying it on bare-metal hardware, or in virtual machines or with containers with different sorts of architecture like monolithic, microservice, etc. …

When it comes to website or application performance and speed, Cache is SuperHero. We believe that an effective cache setup is a number-one thing websites/applications can do to serve content to visitors as quickly as possible, improve both front-end and back-end load times, and reduce stress on the website’s origin server. With Caching you can get dramatic performance improvements without a lot of effort in certain situations.

Recently, I was exploring Google Cloud Memorystore for our one of the project requirement for…

Recently, we need WordPress for some work hosted on Google Kubernetes Engine. So yeah it’s definite we would install WordPress on GKE with Helm but my Senior DevOps Engineer decided to use Google Cloud SQL for this instead MariaDB.

So here is another blog on Cloud from my side after learning and doing...

Before starting this, I’m assuming that you have a little bit hands-on knowledge of Kubernetes (k8s), WordPress and understanding of basic terms of Kubernetes and SQL.

Note: This tutorial includes installation of WordPress via Helm, make sure you are following the same sequence of creation and installation…

After publishing my last blog — Jenkins on Google Compute Engine, I got a demand to write the same blog but with Google Kubernetes Engine via Helm.

We are doing it the same in our organization, and recently I’ve done it for a project in my organization, so here it is!

This blog is updated with Helm v3 in which we don’t need tiller and that extra configuration to setup.

Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)

GKE is a perfect combination or I should say a blend of Iaas and PaaS making it as Kubernetes as a Service or Container as a Service which Google was…

Jenkins is one of the most popular, free, open, Java coded CI/CD tool in the industry used by some big MNCs like Netflix, LinkedIn, eBay, Nintendo etc to small startups. Even me as DevOps Engineer Intern use Jenkins in Techolution for automating the non-human part of the software development process, with continuous integration and facilitating technical aspects of continuous delivery. We integrate our Jenkins with source/version control system like Github, Gitlab, Bitbucket, and can execute Apache Ant, Apache Maven and sbt based projects as well as arbitrary shell scripts and Windows batch commands.

Google Compute Engine — physical servers that…
