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:

  1. Install Java Development Kit (JDK)

  2. Install Node.js

  3. Install Apache Maven

  4. 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:

  1. Install Node.js dependencies using npm install.

  2. Install Java dependencies using Maven.

Stage 3: Execute Test Cases

Description:

Run automated test cases to ensure code functionality and integrity.

Steps:

  1. Execute unit tests.

  2. Execute integration tests.

  3. 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:

  1. Run Trivy scan on project files.

  2. Generate report highlighting vulnerabilities found.

Stage 5: Perform SonarQube Analysis

Description:

Perform static code analysis and assess code quality using SonarQube.

Steps:

  1. Run SonarQube analysis on project codebase.

  2. 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:

  1. Check SonarQube analysis results against quality gate criteria.

  2. 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:

  1. Compile Java source code using Maven.

  2. Bundle Node.js applications into distributable packages.

  3. 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:

  1. Authenticate with Nexus repository.

  2. Publish artifact to designated repository.

Stage 9: Build Docker Image

Description:

Package the application artifact into a Docker image for containerized deployment.

Steps:

  1. Create Dockerfile specifying image configuration. 2.

  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:

  1. Pull Docker image locally.

  2. Run Trivy scan on Docker image.

  3. 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:

  1. Authenticate with Docker Hub.

  2. 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:

  1. Update deployment YAML files with the latest image tag.

  2. Commit changes to version control.

Stage 13: Deploy Application to Kubernetes Cluster

Description:

Deploy the application to a Kubernetes cluster for container orchestration.

Steps:

  1. Authenticate with Kubernetes cluster.

  2. 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:

  1. Check deployment status in Kubernetes dashboard or CLI.

  2. 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:

  1. Configure OWASP ZAP to scan the deployed application.

  2. 2. Analyze scan results for security vulnerabilities.

Stage 16: Send Mail Notifications

Description:

Notify stakeholders about pipeline status and results via email.

Steps:

  1. Configure email server settings.

  2. 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.
