Promoting Kubernetes CI/CD to the Next Level
summary
IBM Cloud Private builds a CI/CD pipeline that automates full-cluster delivery: terraform + ansible provision clusters across x86, Power and z, a forked build-harness exposes shared make targets, and a promotion pipeline enforces quality gates and canary/regression tests. The process keeps 43 charts and 135 images in sync across three architectures, snapshots integration into a twice-daily daily repo, and uses artifactory pointer promotion to cut promotions from hours to ~20 minutes, improving earlier defect detection and faster releases.
