Pipelines & Integrations Case Studies

Overview

In today's DevOps culture, integrating various tools through pipelines is essential for automating the software development lifecycle. This lesson covers case studies demonstrating the practical application of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) in pipelines and integrations.

Key Concepts

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Managing infrastructure through code rather than manual processes.
• Continuous Integration (CI): Automatically testing and integrating code changes.
• Continuous Delivery (CD): Extending CI practices to automate deployment.
• Pipelines: A set of automated processes that allow code changes to be built, tested, and deployed.

Case Study 1: CI/CD Pipeline

This case study demonstrates the implementation of a CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions and Terraform.

name: CI/CD Pipeline
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Set up Terraform
        uses: hashicorp/setup-terraform@v1
        with:
          terraform_version: 1.0.0
      - name: Terraform Init
        run: terraform init

Case Study 2: Multi-cloud Integration

This case study focuses on integrating services across AWS and Azure using Terraform and Azure DevOps.

resource "aws_instance" "web" {
  ami           = "ami-0c55b159cbfafe1f0"
  instance_type = "t2.micro"
}

Best Practices

Here are some best practices when working with pipelines and integrations:

• Use version control for your IaC scripts.
• Implement testing for your infrastructure code.
• Keep your pipeline configurations modular.
• Monitor and log the processes for debugging.
