Continuous integration and continuous delivery/deployment (CI/CD) describes a set of practices for delivering applications and infrastructure using automation, continuous monitoring, and GitOps processes. CI/CD pipelines emerge when incremental code changes are made frequently and reliably, triggering various levels of automation, resulting in operational deployment.
CI/CD tools designed to work with containers, and Kubernetes will differ from the traditional virtual machine. The Kubernetes orchestration capabilities allow greater flexibility in how you deploy, scale, and manage your containerized applications. Your CI/CD tools need to understand your workflows and enable your pipeline growth.
Selecting the CI/CD tool is not easy, and understanding the tradeoffs is imperative. To help you along your journey, here is a list of some of the top CI/CD tools for Kubernetes environments you should know about, in no particular order.
