Git and Docker and YAML, Oh My! Building Your Own Build Pipeline Using GitLab.com
Build pipelines are expected to be green all the time. So how do you test your automation in your build systems without impacting the build itself? Where does automation fit into a build pipeline? At what stages of the build pipeline should I be running my automation? Join Janna as she walks through configuring your own build pipeline using YAML and Docker to test your automation and application before committing it to the main build. Using GitLab.com, she’ll walk you through some of the basics of Git, Docker, and YAML so you can configure your own build pipeline. These tools and techniques will help reduce debugging differences between your local environment and the build server. Creating your own pipeline will allow you to optimize and debug your automation without disrupting your team’s build pipeline.
