Real-Time Pipeline Stages for CICD


Stage 1: Install Required Tools
Description:
Ensure that all necessary tools and dependencies are installed on the CI/CD server.
Steps:
Install Java Development Kit (JDK)
Install Node.js
Install Apache Maven
Install other required tools as per project specifications.
Stage 2: Install Project Dependencies
Description:
Install project-specific dependencies using package managers like npm (for Node.js projects) or Maven (for Java projects).
Steps:
Install Node.js dependencies using npm install.
Install Java dependencies using Maven.
Stage 3: Execute Test Cases
Description:
Run automated test cases to ensure code functionality and integrity.
Steps:
Execute unit tests.
Execute integration tests.
Execute end-to-end tests if applicable.
Stage 4: Perform File System Scan (Trivy)
Description:
Scan project files for vulnerabilities and security issues using Trivy.
Steps:
Run Trivy scan on project files.
Generate report highlighting vulnerabilities found.
Stage 5: Perform SonarQube Analysis
Description:
Perform static code analysis and assess code quality using SonarQube.
Steps:
Run SonarQube analysis on project codebase.
Generate report with code quality metrics and code coverage.
Stage 6: Perform Quality Gate Check
Description:
Evaluate code quality against predefined quality gates to ensure adherence to quality standards.
Steps:
Check SonarQube analysis results against quality gate criteria.
Proceed if code meets quality gate requirements; otherwise, halt pipeline and alert stakeholders.
Stage 7: Build Application Artifact
Description:
Compile source code and package application into an executable artifact.
Steps:
Compile Java source code using Maven.
Bundle Node.js applications into distributable packages.
Generate JAR files or WAR files for Java applications.
Stage 8: Publish Artifact to Nexus
Description:
Upload the built artifact to a repository manager like Nexus for version control and distribution.
Steps:
Authenticate with Nexus repository.
Publish artifact to designated repository.
Stage 9: Build Docker Image
Description:
Package the application artifact into a Docker image for containerized deployment.
Steps:
Create Dockerfile specifying image configuration. 2.
Build Docker image using Docker build command.
Stage 10: Scan Docker Image (Trivy)
Description:
Scan Docker image for vulnerabilities and security issues using Trivy.
Steps:
Pull Docker image locally.
Run Trivy scan on Docker image.
Generate report highlighting vulnerabilities found.
Stage 11: Push Docker Image to Docker Hub Repo
Description:
Push the built Docker image to a Docker Hub repository for centralized storage and distribution.
Steps:
Authenticate with Docker Hub.
Push Docker image to designated repository.
Stage 12: Update Image in Manifests Files
Description:
Update Kubernetes manifests files to reference the newly built Docker image.
Steps:
Update deployment YAML files with the latest image tag.
Commit changes to version control.
Stage 13: Deploy Application to Kubernetes Cluster
Description:
Deploy the application to a Kubernetes cluster for container orchestration.
Steps:
Authenticate with Kubernetes cluster.
Apply updated manifests files to deploy new version of the application
Stage 14: Verify Deployment
Description:
Verify successful deployment of the application to the Kubernetes cluster.
Steps:
Check deployment status in Kubernetes dashboard or CLI.
Perform smoke tests to ensure application functionality.
Stage 15: OWASP ZAP Analysis
Description:
Conduct security testing using OWASP ZAP to identify and mitigate potential security vulnerabilities.
Steps:
Configure OWASP ZAP to scan the deployed application.
2. Analyze scan results for security vulnerabilities.
Stage 16: Send Mail Notifications
Description:
Notify stakeholders about pipeline status and results via email.
Steps:
Configure email server settings.
Send email notifications with pipeline status and relevant reports.
Each stage in the pipeline plays a crucial role in ensuring the reliability, security, and quality of the deployed application. Integrating these stages into a seamless CI/CD pipeline facilitates efficient and automated software delivery.
