Abstract

The previous chapters have demonstrated the automation of the essential steps from source code to deployment: build, distribution, and deployment. What’s missing now is the glue that holds them all together: polling the source code repositories, getting packages from the build server to the repository server and generally controlling the flow, aborting the pipeline instance when one step has failed, and so on.

    Starting from GoCD version 16.7, pipeline configurations can be swapped out to external version control repositories and, through plug-ins, can even be written in different formats, such as YAML. While this seems like a very promising approach, introducing it is outside the scope of this book.
