How to set up different environments on CloudBees platform

2 min read

At CloudBees you could need to set up a testing , a staging and a production environment. This is really straight forward on CloudBees as you will only need to create different applications and databases for each environment on RUN@cloud, and different Jenkins jobs on DEV@cloud.

Pre-requisites:

  • You have an account on CloudBees. If not, sign up here . Please, be sure that you have a password on CloudBees platform. If you are signed up through GitHub or Google, we don’t force you to have a password, which is required to use the CloudBees SDK.

  • You have, at least, a free subscription in RUN@Cloud and MySQL. You can add new services on CloudBees once you are signed up.

  • Install the CloudBees SDK on your computer.

Creating different environments on RUN@cloud for a Tomcat 7 application

  • Production

    • appName-prod.accountName.cloudbees.net

    • dbName-prod

  • Staging

    • appName-staging.accountName.cloudbees.net

    • dbName-staging

  • Testing

    • appName-testing.accountName.cloudbees.net

    • dbName-testing

Creation of the production environment
$bees app:create -t tomcat7 -a appName-prod
$bees db:create dbName-prod
Creation of the staging environment
$bees app:create -t tomcat7 -a appName-staging
$bees db:create dbName-staging
Creation of the testing environment
$bees app:create -t tomcat7 -a appName-testing
$bees db:create dbName-testing

Understood! But... How can I deploy my application to these environments?

Creating different environments on DEV@cloud

On DEV@cloud you can just create different projects for each environment. For a simple scenario you could have something like this on your own Jenkins view.
