CD Pipeline

Jan 1, 0001

Definition

A CD (Continuous Deployment) Pipeline is an automated sequence of processes that enable the deployment of software updates to production environments. It ensures that code changes are automatically tested and deployed, reducing manual intervention and accelerating the release cycle. The pipeline typically includes stages such as build, test, and deploy, with integrated security checks to ensure compliance and minimize vulnerabilities.

Secure Settings Example

stages:
  - build
  - test
  - deploy

deploy:
  script:
    - echo "Deploying to production"
  environment:
    name: production
    url: https://production.example.com
  only:
    - main
  rules:
    - if: '$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "main"'
      when: always
  security:
    - scan: true
    - vulnerability_threshold: low
    - enforce_policy: true

Insecure Settings Example

stages:
  - build
  - test
  - deploy

deploy:
  script:
    - echo "Deploying to production"
  environment:
    name: production
    url: https://production.example.com
  only:
    - main
  security:
    - scan: false
    - vulnerability_threshold: high
    - enforce_policy: false
