Title: Introduction to CI/CD - DevOps Pipeline Guide

1. What is CI/CD?
- CI: Continuous Integration – frequently merging code changes
- CD: Continuous Delivery/Deployment – automating release process
- Goal: Faster delivery with fewer bugs

2. Why CI/CD?
- Early detection of bugs
- Reliable releases
- Better team collaboration
- Automation of repetitive tasks

3. CI/CD Pipeline Stages


- Code: Developers write and commit code
- Build: Compile code and check for errors
- Test: Run unit/integration tests
- Package: Create deployable artifact (e.g., Docker image)
- Deploy: Move to staging/production environment
- Monitor: Track performance and errors

4. Tools for CI/CD


- CI Servers: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Travis CI
- Deployment Tools: ArgoCD, Spinnaker, Flux
- Monitoring: Prometheus, Datadog, New Relic

5. Example GitHub Actions Workflow


name: CI Pipeline
on: [push]
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Set up Node.js
uses: actions/setup-node@v3
with:
node-version: '18'
- run: npm install
- run: npm test

6. Deployment Strategies
- Blue-Green Deployment
- Canary Deployment
- Rolling Updates

7. Security in CI/CD
- Scan for vulnerabilities
- Use secrets management (GitHub Secrets, Vault)
- Set role-based permissions

8. Common Challenges
- Flaky tests
- Long build times
- Environment drift between stages

9. Best Practices
- Keep pipelines fast and modular
- Fail fast, fix fast
- Monitor and alert on deployment issues

10. Conclusion
CI/CD enables modern development at speed and scale. Automate early, test often,
and deploy confidently.
