CI/CD Pipeline
What is your target process?
Create an
environment
for the app
• Install the OS, correct
appservers, libraries
etc
• Or create a Docker
image/container (?)
Execute this
application
somewhere
• Find “compute” to run
this app (a VM,
containers etc)
• Or use Kubernetes
(?)
Build an
Artifact
• Run gradle, maven etc.
App &
Container ? ???
• Is the app tied to that
image?
• What happens when the
(OS) needs patching?
• How do you access log
files?
• How do you connect to
a backing service?
???
• Is their anything hardcoded
in the image for each
environment?
• What licenses, ports etc. are
open?
• Any network updates
required?
???
• What is the network
path to access the app?
• What controls
autoscaling?
• What happens when the
container crashes?
And repeat
for SIT,
PreProd,
Prod …
And repeat
for Version 2
….
???
• Is the original image still
valid?
???
• Can we have both old
and new running at the
same time?
