CI/CD, short for Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment Overview of CI/CD
What is CI/CD? CI/CD is a set of principles and practices designed to help development teams deliver code changes reliably and frequently. CI/CD involves the ongoing automation and monitoring of the entire application lifecycle, from integration and testing to delivery and deployment.
Difference between CI and CD CI focuses on moving development work from isolated silos to the entire development team. CD, an extension of CI, is mainly focused on delivering development work to the end user.
Central to the CI/CD process is the CI/CD pipeline . CI/CD pipeline serves as an automated workflow that: Builds code changes Tests code changes Deploys code changes This automation enhances: Software quality Release cycle speed Reduction of manual intervention CI/CD Pipeline
GitHub Actions - powerful automation tool integrated into GitHub Introduction to GitHub Actions
What is GitHub Actions? GitHub Actions is a powerful automation tool built into GitHub.
GitHub Actions Availability GitHub Actions are available at no cost for public repositories. However, for private repositories, there’s a limit to the free monthly usage, and additional usage beyond that requires payment.
GitHub Actions Features Intuitive YAML Syntax Range of Pre-Built Actions Familiar GitHub Interface Scalability By embracing this combination, organizations can expedite API delivery and meet the evolving demands of modern software development confidently.
GitHub Actions workflow: Definition A GitHub Actions workflow is a fundamental part of GitHub Actions. Each workflow is a customizable automated process defined within the GitHub repository. Github Actions workflow includes : Jobs : Independent tasks that run as part of the workflow. Steps : Individual commands or actions within each job.
GitHub Actions workflow: Representation
GitHub Actions workflow and component tasks Workflow Initiated by specific events. Contain one or more jobs. Linked to a GitHub repository. Jobs Define a Runner, which serves as the execution environment. Comprise one or more steps. Executed either concurrently or sequentially. Steps Perform tasks such as running shell scripts or actions. Can utilize custom or third-party actions. Executed sequentially in the specified order. Footer
