Getting started with Bamboo

Continuous Integration (CI) servers, such as Bamboo developed by Atlassian, are crucial components of the CI/CD process, automating the building and testing of software applications. This guide provides a step-by-step tutorial on installing Bamboo on a Windows Server and configuring it to build and push Docker containers to a registry like DockerHub. It outlines the setup of a Bamboo project and plan, including configuring jobs to execute specific tasks like building and pushing Docker images. By walking through the process of building and deploying the Octopus underwater app, the guide offers an accessible entry point into the world of CI/CD, highlighting how Bamboo can be used in conjunction with Continuous Delivery (CD) tools like Octopus for effective software deployment. The tutorial emphasizes Bamboo's role in creating and managing Docker images, while also introducing the broader context of CI servers and their integration with platforms such as Azure and AWS, encouraging further exploration into CI/CD practices.
