CI/CD Guide

Overview

This document consolidates all Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) information for the Debian bootc-image-builder project. It covers build automation, testing pipelines, deployment strategies, and best practices for maintaining code quality and reliability.

CI/CD Philosophy

Principles

1. Automation First: Automate everything that can be automated
2. Quality Gates: No code merges without passing quality checks
3. Fast Feedback: Provide quick feedback on code changes
4. Reproducible Builds: Ensure consistent build environments
5. Security First: Integrate security scanning at every stage

Goals

• Build Time: < 10 minutes for full pipeline
• Test Coverage: > 85% code coverage
• Security: Zero critical vulnerabilities
• Reliability: > 99% pipeline success rate
• Deployment: Automated deployment with rollback capability

Pipeline Architecture

Pipeline Stages

Code Commit → Build → Test → Security Scan → Deploy → Monitor
     ↓           ↓      ↓         ↓          ↓        ↓
   Git Hook   Docker  Unit/Int   SAST/DAST  Staging  Metrics

Environment Strategy

1. Development: Local development and testing
2. Staging: Pre-production validation
3. Production: Live system deployment

Troubleshooting

Common CI/CD Issues

Build Failures

# Check build logs
gh run view --log

# Re-run failed jobs
gh run rerun --failed

# Debug locally
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/app -w /app golang:1.21 go build ./...

Test Failures

# Run specific test
go test -v -run TestFunctionName ./...

# Run with verbose output
go test -v -count=1 ./...

# Check test coverage
go test -coverprofile=coverage.txt ./...
go tool cover -html=coverage.txt

Deployment Issues

# Check deployment status
kubectl get deployments
kubectl describe deployment bootc-builder

# Check logs
kubectl logs -l app=bootc-builder

# Rollback deployment
kubectl rollout undo deployment/bootc-builder

Best Practices

Code Quality

1. Automated Testing: Run tests on every commit
2. Code Coverage: Maintain > 85% coverage
3. Static Analysis: Use multiple linting tools
4. Security Scanning: Integrate security checks early

Pipeline Design

1. Fast Feedback: Fail fast on critical issues
2. Parallel Execution: Run independent jobs concurrently
3. Caching: Cache dependencies and build artifacts
4. Rollback Strategy: Always have rollback capability

Monitoring

1. Metrics Collection: Collect relevant metrics
2. Alerting: Set up alerts for critical issues
3. Logging: Structured logging for debugging
4. Health Checks: Implement comprehensive health checks
