Understanding the Pipeline Architecture

Code Commit: Changes pushed to Git


repositories (e.g., GitHub).

Automated Testing: Runs unit, integration, and


end-to-end tests.

Build & Security Scan: Builds Docker images and


checks for vulnerabilities.

Container Registry: Tags and pushes images to


a registry.

Deployment: Deploys containers to Kubernetes


environments.

Jenkins vs. GitHub Actions

Jenkins:
Highly customizable
Ideal for complex, multi-step workflows
Requires managing infrastructure

GitHub Actions:
Native integration with GitHub
Easier setup for smaller teams
Supports matrix builds and reusable
workflows

Automated Testing & Image Building

Testing Phases:
Unit Tests: Run lightweight tests for individual
components.
Integration Tests: Ensure components interact
as expected.
End-to-End Tests: Validate full system behavior.

Image Building:
Use Docker to build and tag images: docker
build -t my-app:$GIT_SHA .
Push images to a container registry: docker
push my-app:$GIT_SHA

Deployment Strategies
Common approaches for smooth updates:
Rolling Updates: Incrementally replaces old
pods..

Blue-Green: Maintains separate active and idle


environments.
Canary Releases: Gradually shifts traffic to the
new version.

Secrets & Environment Variables


Management

Kubernetes Secrets: Securely store sensitive


data.

External Managers: Consider tools like


HashiCorp Vault for added security.

Common Challenges & Troubleshooting

Common Issues:
1. Image Pull Errors: Check registry access and
credentials.
2. Deployment Failures: Validate manifest
configurations.
3. Security Scan Failures: Resolve vulnerabilities or
adjust thresholds.

Tips:
Use kubectl logs to check pod logs.
Inspect deployment status via kubectl describe
pod.
