During this talk, I will reflect on my thoughts on decoding the importance of next-generation CI/CD pipeline. Without dwelling too much on the basics, the key priority for them will influence the next-generation value ecosystem for CICD features. Some of the key factors would be: CxOs are suggesting to consider business need to be producing features which are more than just a faster, more efficient version of everything, making sure next-generation data capabilities are part of the ecosystem and bridging the multi-cloud and on-premise cloud stack takes priority to integrate edge, cloud and compute capabilities.
These factors will craft the next-generation features for the CICD pipeline. In order to align the features with the value ecosystem, here are some suggestions:
- Treat CICD as a product group
- The product group must have incremental features aligned with the key CxO priorities
- Embed unified value tracking into the CICD pipeline to steer the right investments
- Invest in traceability, audit and vulnerability management
When you start treating CICD as a product group, it is essential to define the “north star” for the product group, create a leader’s action plan, map the people of the product group and eventually accelerate the new charter.”
