Within this 1-hour long guided project you will learn how to scalably deploy a fullstack web application using blue-green deployment strategy using Cloud Foundry. Blue-green deployment simplifies zero-downtime deployment and you decide when to roll out after co-existing old version and the new feature version of your system.
You will perform a blue-green deployment of a new feature of a video streaming platform using Cloud Foundry. You will learn how to create an app manifest in Cloud Foundry, bind it to a service, deploying a containerized application using blue-green strategy. Avoid stressful and uncomfortable downtimes of your cloud applications deployment and let the developers focus on new feature development rather than complex deployment strategies to minimize risks. All this is possible with platform as a service (PaaS) CloudFoundry. The course is aimed to provide a thorough understanding of deploying, managing, and scaling cloud-native applications, allowing engineers to reinforce their knowledge and skills in DevOps practices. No prior experience with Cloud Foundry is required. You only need front-end and back-end project deployment experience, hands-on with Docker containers and basic HTML and Javascript understanding
In a video that plays in a split-screen with your work area, your instructor will walk you through these steps:
T1 - Set up Cloud Foundry CLI
T2 - Deploy the application and scale it
Practical Activity 1 - Deploy a Hugo web static site
T3 - Bind the application to a service
T4 - Deploy a dockerized video streaming web
Practical Activity 2 - Deploy Etherpad from Docker image and bind to a service
T5 - Cancel a deployment with an announcing pop-up
T6 - Blue-green deployment of an announcing pop-up
CA - Blue-Green Deployment of graphical update of Etherpad
