Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “Now, create a Kubernetes cluster using the az aks create command with the -g option, placing it inside the resource group we created in the previous step. Use the -n option to give your Kubernetes cluster a name.”

A block of code is set as follows:

configuration-as-code
git
sonar

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

jenkins:
  systemMessage: "Jenkins configured automatically by Jenkins Configuration as Code plugin\n\n"
  securityRealm:
    local:
      users:
       - id: jenkins-admin
         password: password

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

az aks create -g rg-nikhil-sbox -l westeurope \
 -n kubernetes-dev --tier free --node-count 1 \
 --enable-cluster-autoscaler --min-count 1 --max-count 3 \
 --network-plugin kubenet --generate-ssh-keys

The commands presented in this book are tested for execution within a PowerShell command-line shell. While alternative command-line shells may be utilized, some modifications to the commands may be necessary.

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “From the dashboard, click on Azure Active Directory, and then select App registrations from the menu.”
