Understanding Pipelines

Common Stages

The following stages are implemented by default:

Name Description
.pre default stage via GitLab
lint Linting stage for all linting jobs before build
build Build stage for all software builds
test Test stage to validate all software builds
deploy Deploy stage to ship a build to environments
.post default stage via GitLab populated with some helper tasks

Example Overview of a S2I Pipeline

The pipeline will iterate through the stages in GitLab and hold on error, if it makes sense.
