Denomas CI/CD Hands-On Guide: Lab 6

This Hands-On Guide walks you through the lab exercises in the Denomas CI/CD course.

LAB 6: JOB POLICY PATTERN

Go to the snippets page of the CICD Hands On Demo project.
Open the ci-structure snippet and select the Copy file contents icon in the upper right corner of the file.
Open your CICD Demo project from previous labs.
Select your .gitlab-ci.yml file to view its contents. Select Edit (use the dropdown if needed to select Edit this file only). Paste the snippet’s contents at the end of the file.
At the top of .gitlab-ci.yml, in the stages section, add review and deploy stages.
In the Commit message field, type Add CI structure job definitions, ensure the Target Branch is set to main, and select Commit changes.
In the left-hand navigation pane, select CI/CD > Pipelines and select the status icon next to the most recent pipeline run.
Select the widgets to see what environment the pipeline is deploying the code to. In the left sidebar, select Deployments > Environments to see the environments that have been created.
Optional: Experiment with triggering pipelines using different branches and tags. Can you get different pipeline runs to execute the deploy release, deploy review, and deploy staging jobs?

Hint: Look at the rules keyword in the relevant .gitlab-ci.yml job definitions.
