7.1 CI CD Pipelines

The Policy

Where appropriate use GitHub Actions to implement CI/CD pipelines to automate testing, building, and deployment processes.

Implementation

• We can only run static analysis on GitHub actions, we should not deploy to ONS infrastructure from GitHub actions.
• Teams can reuse ONS' Jenkins
• Teams can build their own:
  • Concourse
  • Jenkins
• Teams can use cloud native CI/CD tooling
  • (Google Cloud Build)[https://cloud.google.com/build/docs/overview]
  • (Azure DevOps)[https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/products/devops#overview]
• GitHub Actions examples:
  • CATD: (GitHub Actions Service)[https://confluence.ons.gov.uk/x/9aYcCQ]
  • Other teams want to add anything?
  • Mebins Python repo actions?
