CICD - Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery

DevOps Foundations: Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery

Continuous Integration Principles

Continuous Integration (CI) is a development practice that requires developers to integrate code into a shared repository several times a day.

• Have a single place where all the code lives
• Everyone commits to the mainline every day
• Automate the build process
• Fix broken build immediately

• Make and keep the build fast

• Every commit triggers a build

• Automate the testing process
• Everyone has access tot he latest result
• Everyone can see everything

Continuous Delivery principles

Continuous Delivery (CD) is a software development discipline where software can be released to production at any time.

• Have continuous integration in place
• Development and Operations should work well together
• Treat infrastructure as a code artifact
• Automate the environment creation process
• Automate the release process

• Automate acceptance tests

• Include release to definition of done

• Releasing should be on-demand
• Everyone has access to the latest result
• Everyone can see everything
