The latest News and Information on Continuous Integration and Development, and related technologies.
In this article, you will learn how to add inline image scanning to a Google Cloud Build pipeline using the Sysdig Secure DevOps platform. We will show you how to create a basic workflow to build your container image, scan the image, and push it to a registry. We will also customize scanning policies to stop the build if a high-risk vulnerability is detected.
It is impossible to overestimate the importance of a strong development environment when scaling your team’s capacity. Nowadays, most organizations use Git, and one of the popular and successful development models used by many organizations is Gitflow. When making use of such models, continuous integration (CI) is key as it enables faster project delivery and offers reduced risk and expenses thanks to self-managed and easy-to-control dedicated teams.
Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines have become fundamental to modern software development and code deployment. Implementing CI/CD practices can let teams deploy code more quickly and efficiently. But with these methods come a number of new challenges: bad code deploys are a major source of downtime and can lead to a loss of revenue and customer trust.
Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) form the backbone of the product delivery lifecycle. A well tuned, fault tolerant and scalable CI/CD pipeline is very important to support modern Agile teams. Despite obvious business advantages, a rapid release approach combined with continuous change processes resulting from DevOps principles will in the long run generate new challenges. The entire process needs to be carefully examined and controlled.
In environments with large numbers of client machines, configuration management tools are often used to simplify and standardize the target state of each host in a seamless, automated and consistent manner. Software like CFEngine, Chef, Ansible, and others offer a high degree of granular control over software packaging and system configurations.
