I showed you a very opinionated way of doing continuous delivery and continuous deployment using Jenkins in a Kubernetes cluster. I did not try to strike a balance and teach you everything you could do. I don't believe that balanced unopinionated writings are a good thing. I do not like to read an article or a book that compares different ways of doing something only to conclude with "they all have their pros and cons." To me, that's silly. I like to know how someone does something. I have no interest in wasting my time reading a comparison that tries to be "politically correct" so that no one gets offended. In my head, that's a sign that a writer is a spineless person that does not have a personal opinion nor real experience. Spending enough time with a technology or a process inevitably leads to opinions. "I tried this and that, I failed, I succeeded, and this is what, in my opinion, works best." Those are the types of writings I like to read, and those are the people I admire. I tried to follow the same logic. As a result, I gave you what I think works the best for me today (August 2018).
That being said, I'd love to get your point of view. I'd like to get my hands on your pipelines. They will inevitably be different than the ones I promoted in this book. Otherwise, I failed to convey the most important message. Learn something new, combine it with your existing knowledge, and adapt it to your own needs. Never follow anything or anyone blindly. Hopefully, you found at least parts of this book useful, you learned something new, and you adapted your existing processes. Please send me what you created. I want to see your processes and your pipelines. Even more, I'd love to work with you to publish them in a blog or as an appendix to this book. If you think you did something interesting, as I'm sure you did, please contact me on DevOps20 (http://slack.devops20toolkit.com/) Slack and show me what you created. You learned from others, now it's time for others to learn from you.
I'm done explaining what I did, now it's your turn to share what you made.
