Jenkins Pipeline On A Kubernetes Cluster For Programming Courses

Abstract

Development and Operations (DevOps) is a relatively new model for software development that offers many advantages. Faster development and introduction of new changes, such as solving the disconnection between development and operations teams, and easier detection of faults. The practice of integrating Continuous Integration (CI) is code changes to the main branch regularly (i.e. at least daily) and includes automatic build and testing. CI is the first and central enabler for continual distribution and implementation practices to be implemented. Although continuous delivery focuses on keeping software available all the time, it is expanded by continuous implementation to incorporate new changes in production continuously and automatically. In both literature and industrial circles, specific descriptions of continuous delivery and implementation are sometimes absent. Continuous deployment is a push-based technique that automatically deploys code updates to a production system. As soon as they are ready, without human intervention, the environment through a pipeline. Continuous delivery is a pull-based method in which an individual (e.g. a manager) is expected to determine which code changes should be released to production and when production-ready. A staging environment seeks to replicate the production environment as closely as possible, whereas a production environment is where software or services are available to end users. Continuous distribution and deployment share similar features and are strongly linked and interconnected. It has recently been argued that the fundamental constraints of implementing CD practices are profoundly rooted in a system's architecture, and these practices may have important Figure 1.1 relationship between continuous intergration, delivery and deployment7 architectural consequences. This is evident in the recently published systematic CD reviews, which have called for a new line of research to investigate how to (re-)architect a CD application. In addition, progress in the DevOps/CD trend, which emphasizes the treatment of operations teams and organizational aspects as first-class entities in the process of software development. For example, in a CD sense, software design should ensure the appropriate degree of quality characteristics (e.g. deployability) and minimize the input cycle time from operations to development
