In this post, we explain how to use the CI/CD environment with Mesosphere’s Datacenter Operating System (DCOS). We are using DCOS for our testing environment and it works seamlessly. Our aim is to deploy our containers as Marathon apps in DCOS, and we use CircleCI for continuous integration. CircleCI creates the Docker images and pushes them into a private . CircleCI Docker registry One of the manual tasks that we were doing was to update Marathon apps manually after code changes. However, it turns out that we can automate this process via CircleCI as well. So, to start off, we assume that you are running your DCOS on Amazon Web Services, as we will use Amazon S3 to store our JSON and shell script. In turn, CircleCI will download those at runtime and execute it. Setup The first step is to append the following lines in the dependencies section of your file: circleci.yml Dependencies: Pre:- pip install awscli- aws s3 cp s3://aaa-tools/scripts/marathon.json /home/ubuntu/dcos/;- aws s3 cp s3://aaa-tools/scripts/put.sh /home/ubuntu/dcos/; chmod a+x /home/ubuntu/dcos/put.sh- mkdir -p /home/ubuntu/dcos Make sure to replace the S3 bucket path with your own S3 bucket name and file name. We use the following conventions: is the S3 bucket aaa-tools is the Marathon app spec file marathon.json is the shell script that updates Marathon via its HTTP API put.sh Our file looks as follows: marathon.json {"id": "aaa-notifier","cpus": 0.4,"mem": 256,"uris": ["hdfs://namenode1.hdfs.mesos:50071/artifact_store/.dockercfg"],"ports": [],"instances": 1,"container": {"type": "DOCKER","docker": {"image": "docker-registry-000-staging:443/aaa/aaa-notifier:latest","network": "BRIDGE","portMappings": [{"containerPort": 0,"hostPort": 0,"servicePort": 0,"protocol": "tcp"}],"forcePullImage": true}}} … and would contain: put.sh #!/usr/bin/env shMARATHON=http://master-001-dcos4.aaa.net:8080MYAPP=aaa-notifier cd /home/ubuntu/dcosfor file in *.jsondoecho "Installing $file..."curl -X PUT "$MARATHON/v2/apps/$MYAPP" -d @"$file" -H "Content-type: application/json"echo "" Now, copy the above two files ( and ) to the S3 bucket. Then, append the below code snippet at the very end of file in the docker section: marathon.json put.sh circle.yml - bash /home/ubuntu/dcos/post.sh After CircleCI triggers the build, it automatically updates the Marathon app and you’re done! How to verify? We can verify by using the version number; after the build succeeds, we will get the following message in CircleCI: {"version":"2015-11-04T05:56:03.996Z","deploymentId":"9772b7a4-8870-479d- Then, in the Marathon UI check for the app version: 2015–11–04T05:56:03.996Z This should correspond with what you get from CircleCI. In this post I walked you through setting up CircleCI with the DCOS and automating the entire CI/CD process. I hope it is useful for you and if you have any suggestions or questions, please leave a comment, below. Note:- Original Post is here. And might be too old way to do deployment. https://mesosphere.com/blog/continuous-delivery-with-circleci/
