CI/CD Design Patterns. Design and implement CI/CD using proven design patterns

Garima Bajpai, Michel Schildmeijer, Muktesh Mishra, Pawel Piwosz, ...

The fast-changing world of software development demands robust CI/CD solutions that go beyond traditional methods to address the complexities of modern pipelines. This practical guide presents proven design patterns to streamline your CI/CD processes, tackling pain points often overlooked by other resources. This book introduces continuous delivery design patterns to help practitioners and engineering teams design, adopt, and implement CI/CD. Drawing from decades of combined industry experience, the expert author team—including DevOps and cloud leader Garima Bajpai, industry expert Michel Schildmeijer, CI/CD framework creator Pawel Piwosz, and open source advocate Muktesh Mishra—provides invaluable insights from leading voices in the industry.The book lays a solid foundation by starting with the importance of CI/CD design patterns, components, and principles. You’ll learn strategies for scaling CI/CD with a focus on performance, security, measurements, and pipeline auditability, along with infrastructure and release automation. The book also covers advanced design patterns that integrate machine learning, generative AI, and near real-time CI/CD processes.By the end of this book, you’ll have a deep understanding of continuous delivery design patterns, a solid foundation for audits and controls, and be able to mitigate risks associated with the rapid integration of modern technology into the SDLC.

Strategizing Continuous Delivery in the Cloud. Implement continuous delivery using modern cloud-native technology

Garima Bajpai, Thomas Schuetz

Many organizations are embracing cloud technology to remain competitive, but implementing and adopting development processes while modernizing a cloud-based ecosystem can be challenging.Strategizing Continuous Delivery in Cloud helps you modernize continuous delivery and achieve infrastructure-application convergence in the cloud. You’ll learn the differences between cloud-based and traditional delivery approaches and develop a tailored strategy. You’ll discover how to secure your cloud delivery environment, ensure software security, run different test types, and test in the pre-production and production stages.You’ll also get to grips with the prerequisites for onboarding cloud-based continuous delivery for organizational and technical aspects. Then, you’ll explore key aspects of readiness to overcome core challenges in your cloud journey, including GitOps, progressive delivery controllers, feature flagging, differences between cloud-based and traditional tools, and implementing cloud chaos engineering.By the end of this book, you’ll be well-equipped to select the right cloud environment and technologies for CD and be able to explore techniques for implementing CD in the cloud.
