Summary
This chapter has covered CI, and you have understood the need for CI and the basic CI workflow for a container application. We then looked at GitHub Actions to build an effective Continous Integration pipeline. We then looked at the Jenkins open source offering and deployed a scalable Jenkins on Kubernetes with Kaniko, setting up a Jenkins master-agent model. We then understood how to use hooks for automating builds, both in the GitHub Actions-based workflow and the Jenkins-based workflow. We then delved into AWS's CI stack using AWS Code Commit and Code Build. Finally, we learned about build performance best practices and dos and don'ts.
By now, you should be familiar with CI and its nuances, along with the various tooling you can use to implement it.
In the next chapter, we will delve into Continuous Deployment/Delivery in the container world.
