Atlassian DevOps Toolchain Cookbook

An Introduction to DevOps and the Atlassian Ecosystem

DevOps has been a driving force for improvement in product development since its inception in 2009. As technology moved to internet-based, off-premises cloud environments, DevOps allowed people working in development and operations a way to collaborate, enabling quicker and more stable design, packaging, deployment, and maintenance of products. A key component of this is the adoption of automation that ensures these processes run smoother.

In this chapter, we will look at the DevOps movement and the role that automation plays in its success. We will then look at the Open DevOps platform from Atlassian that allows easy connection between Jira, other Atlassian tools such as Confluence and Bitbucket, as well as third-party tools such as LaunchDarkly, which allows you to release products through feature flags, and Snyk, which performs security scanning.

To start our journey into Open DevOps, we will examine the steps needed to...

An introduction to DevOps

By 2009, developers began to adopt Agile product development methods. They started with small deliveries in incremental cycles, gathering customer feedback and using it to inform future development cycles. They gradually created a product that their customers would want.

A bottleneck would soon form from delivering changes to the operations part of the organization. While rapid development of value is the priority of development teams, operations teams are charged with maintaining the stability of the environment. Anything that would diminish that stability would mean a potential loss of revenue. Typically, that meant seeing any new change as risky and allowing any changes to be released in specific maintenance windows. These windows only ended up increasing the risk of further downtime.

Changes would soon emerge. During the O’Reilly Velocity 2009 conference, John Allspaw and Paul Hammond of Flickr gave a talk titled 10+ Deploys a Day –...

Creating an Open DevOps toolchain from scratch

The first link to a toolchain using Atlassian tools and Open DevOps is to set up an organization in the Atlassian Cloud. The first Atlassian product in the organization will be Jira.

In this recipe, we will explore how to create the organization and an Atlassian Cloud site with Jira installed.

How to do it...

Let’s go to the Atlassian website to create an Open DevOps environment with multiple connected tools:

  1. Atlassian’s Open DevOps solution is described at https://www.atlassian.com/solutions/devops. This site allows you to see what Open DevOps is, what third-party integrations make up part of the solution, and what DevOps best practices Open DevOps plays a role in.
  2. From this page, you can request the creation of a new Atlassian Cloud site with the Jira product, installed by selecting the Try for free button on the page, as shown in the following figure:
Figure 1.5 – Atlassian’s Open DevOps page with the Try it free button

Figure 1.5 –...

Creating an Atlassian Cloud site with Jira only

A more modular approach than creating an Atlassian Cloud site with multiple products can be to create a new Atlassian Cloud site and install Jira only. Other installations of other Atlassian products can be done on an as-needed basis.

To do this, we will go to a different landing page and follow the prompts, as seen in the following recipe steps.

How to do it...

To install Jira only on a new Atlassian Cloud site, follow these alternate instructions:

  1. Atlassian’s product page for Jira is located at https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira. Select the Get it free button, as shown in the following figure:
Figure 1.9 – Selecting the free plan from the Jira Products page

Figure 1.9 – Selecting the free plan from the Jira Products page

  1. On the next panel, if you’re logged into an Atlassian account, it will reveal that account and prompt you to enter the name of the new Atlassian Cloud site.
Figure 1.10 – Creating a new Atlassian Cloud site

Figure 1.10...

Creating a Jira project

So far, you have created an Atlassian Cloud site with only Jira or Jira with Confluence, and connections to Opsgenie and Bitbucket.

We will start the process of creating our toolchain by setting up the Jira projects that will use the toolchain. Let’s look at doing this now.

How to do it...

In the following steps, you will create a Jira project that not only captures the work done by the development team but allows integrations with artifacts from other tools:

  1. Go to the Atlassian Cloud site you created in the previous recipes in this chapter. You may be prompted to create the site’s first Jira project by selecting a project template, as shown in the following figure:
Figure 1.11 – Selecting a project template

Figure 1.11 – Selecting a project template

  1. Select a project template that matches the Agile methodology your team wants to practice (KANBAN or SCRUM) and press Next.

Tip

In general, teams that look to develop on...

Connecting Confluence

Confluence is Atlassian’s second-oldest tool. Previously, it has complemented Jira as the repository of documentation artifacts for development activities recorded in Jira.

Confluence works by organizing individual pages into spaces. Spaces can be set up for any number of purposes, such as a knowledge base or product documentation.

The first step will be to add Confluence to the Atlassian Cloud site. Once added, a new space can be created for the new Jira project.

Getting ready

Different administrators set up different things for Confluence. Let’s take a brief look at the various levels of administration for Atlassian Cloud.

Organization administrators are responsible for the overall organization and the Atlassian Cloud sites contained within. They set up users to access specific Atlassian products and add products to Atlassian Cloud sites.

Confluence administrators are responsible for creating the spaces on an instance of Confluence...

Connecting Bitbucket

Currently, Bitbucket maintains a separate location from the other tools at the Atlassian Cloud site, at https://bitbucket.org. On Bitbucket, there are by default administrators and users in a developers group.

On the Bitbucket side, a member of the Administrators group must create the repository or repo. This repo may be grouped within other repositories in a Bitbucket project. The top level in Bitbucket is a workspace. This may be analogous to the top level of an organization.

On the Jira side, we need a Jira Project admin to connect the repository to the Jira project.

Let’s take a look at the steps involved.

How to do it...

Let’s look at the steps involved in connecting Bitbucket.

Creating a repository in Bitbucket

Implement the following steps to create a repository in Bitbucket:

  1. As a Bitbucket administrator, select the Repositories menu bar and click the Create repository button.

Description

Implementing DevOps practices and toolchains for automated testing and deployment can accelerate product development with minimal errors in the production environment. However, creating DevOps toolchains by integrating tools from various vendors presents challenges for both administrators and developers. Written by four well-known experts from the Atlassian community, this book addresses the complexities of DevOps toolchain creation and integration by leveraging Atlassian’s Open DevOps solution. Starting with a holistic overview of the DevOps and Atlassian Open DevOps solution, you’ll learn to integrate Jira with other tools. You’ll then find out how to create and integrate a CI/CD pipeline in Bitbucket for automated testing and deployment to Docker containers. With step-by-step guidance, you’ll connect Jira and Bitbucket with other tools, such as Snyk for security and SonarQube for testing, to form an extensive toolchain. You’ll also learn how Compass uses CheckOps for observability and how to use Confluence for documentation and reporting. Finally, you’ll leverage Opsgenie’s ChatOps functionality to enhance collaboration between developers and operations teams. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to establish your DevOps toolchain by integrating Atlassian tools to automate and optimize the software development lifecycle and beyond.

Who is this book for?

This book is a valuable resource for DevOps engineers, platform engineers, SREs, software developers, and Atlassian tool administrators who want to automate testing, integration, and deployment processes using the Atlassian DevOps toolchain. A basic understanding of DevOps processes will be beneficial. While prior knowledge of administering Atlassian tools may be helpful, it is not necessary, as the recipes cover the administrative tasks needed to implement the DevOps toolchain and practices.
