Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) is a set of practices and tools that automate the process of building, testing, and deploying code changes in software development. The goal of CI/CD is to improve the speed and confidence of releasing new features and bug fixes to production.
Note:
- The CI/CD tab is available only for Custom and Container Registry Environment.
- Inside the CI/CD tab, the CI tab, stats, and CI settings are available only for Custom Environment.
- The CD tab and CD settings are available for both Custom and Container Registry Environment.
CI Tab:
The CI tab allows you to manually automate the entire CI/CD process. Here, you can view the process of code cloning and the actual CI process of building and pushing. You can also view the logs of the CI process by clicking on the page icon on the left side.
In addition, you can manually trigger the CI process by clicking on the BUILD button.
Stats:
You can view the stats of the CI process, such as Success, Unstable, Not_Build, and Aborted in graphical format.
CD Tab:
The CD tab displays all the upgraded releases and their release numbers.
CI Settings:
In the CI Settings, you can change the branch from which you want to deploy your application. There are also triggers available that will automate the CI Process, such as Push (when updates are made on the branch) and Tag (when the source is tagged). There is also a notification option where you can choose to receive normal, error, or both types of notifications via email or slack.
CD Settings:
In the CD settings, you can change the deployment strategy for your environment. The available deployment strategies are rolling update, AB-testing, blue-green, and cranary.
Scripts:
The Scripts feature in 01Cloud’s CI/CD is a powerful addition that allows developers to customize their build and deployment processes by providing a structured way to define automation workflows. With this feature, you can integrate custom Dockerfiles and CI Steps directly into your CI/CD pipeline, enabling greater flexibility and control over how your applications are built and deployed.
Variables:
CI Variables in 01Cloud are essential components of the CI/CD pipeline, enabling dynamic configurations and secure storage of sensitive information. These variables are used during the build and deployment processes to pass data, such as credentials, environment-specific configurations, and custom parameters, into the CI/CD workflows.
Conclusion:
The CI/CD of Environment in 01Cloud provides an efficient and automated solution for building, testing, and deploying code changes. The CI/CD tab, CI settings, and CD settings offer several options for customization and optimization, making it a flexible and powerful tool for development teams.
