Kwezanamuhla ezisheshayo digital isimo sezwe, amabhizinisi athembele emininingwaneni eqhutshwa idatha ukuze enze izinqumo ezinolwazi futhi azuze umkhawulo wokuncintisana. Ukusebenzisa izixazululo ze-analytics ngempumelelo nangempumelelo kubalulekile ekutholeni ulwazi olubalulekile kudatha. Enye indlela yokufeza lokhu ukusebenzisa inqubo efanele yokuhlanganisa Okuqhubekayo/Ukuthunyelwa Okuqhubekayo (CI/CD). Kulokhu okuthunyelwe kwebhulogi, sizohlola ukuthi inqubo echazwe kahle ye-CI/CD ingathuthukisa kanjani ngokuphawulekayo ukusetshenziswa kwakho kwezibalo.
Shintshanisa amasheya GTM
Nge-CI/CD, izinhlangano zingenza ngokuzenzakalelayo ukuthunyelwa kwekhodi yezibalo, okuholela esikhathini esisheshayo sokumaketha izici ezintsha nokuthuthukiswa. Ngokuhlela inqubo yokukhishwa, amaqembu okuthuthukisa angakwazi ukusebenzisa futhi ahlole izinguquko kaningi, okuvumela amabhizinisi ukuthi azivumelanise ngokushesha nezimfuno zemakethe eziguqukayo futhi azuze inzuzo yokuncintisana. 
Nciphisa Iphutha Lomuntu
Izinqubo zokuphakela mathupha zisengozini yokuthola iphutha lomuntu, okuholela ekulungiseni kabi noma ekushintshaneni ezindaweni zonke. I-CI/CD automation inciphisa amaphutha anjalo ngokuphoqelela izinqubo ezingaguquki neziphindaphindekayo zokuthumela. Lokhu kuqinisekisa ukunemba nokuthembeka kokusetshenziswa kwezibalo zakho, ukuvimbela okungase kube khona ukunemba kwedatha namaphutha abizayo. Njengo-Humble noFarley besho encwadini yabo ethi Continuous Delivery, “Automate almost Everything”. I-automation yiyona ndlela kuphela yokuqeda amaphutha abantu. Uma uthola imibhalo eminingi emayelana nezinyathelo ezithile noma imisebenzi, uyazi ukuthi iyinkimbinkimbi futhi uyazi ukuthi yenziwa mathupha. Yenza ngokuzenzakalelayo!
Ukuhlola Okuthuthukisiwe
I-CI/CD iphromotha izinqubo zokuhlola ezizenzakalelayo, okuhlanganisa ukuhlolwa kweyunithi, ukuhlolwa kokuhlanganiswa, nokuhlolwa kokuhlehla. Ngokuhlanganisa lezi zivivinyo epayipini lakho le-CI/CD, ungakwazi ukuhlonza futhi ulungise izinkinga kusenesikhathi somjikelezo wokuthuthukisa. Ukuhlola okuphelele kuqinisekisa ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwezibalo zakho kusebenza ngendlela efanele, kunikeze imininingwane enembile futhi kunciphise ubungozi bokuthembela kudatha enephutha.
Ukusebenzisana Okulula
I-CI/CD ikhuthaza ukusebenzisana phakathi kwamalungu eqembu asebenza ekusetshenzisweni kokuhlaziya. Ngezinhlelo zokulawula inguqulo njenge-Git, onjiniyela abaningi bangakwazi ngesikhathi esisodwa ukunikela kuphrojekthi. Izinguquko zihlanganiswa ngokuzenzakalela, zihlolwe, futhi zisetshenziswe, kunciphisa ukungqubuzana futhi kuvumela ukubambisana okuphumelelayo. Lokhu kubambisana kuthuthukisa ikhwalithi yesisombululo se-analytics futhi kusheshise ukuthuthukiswa kwaso.
Iluphu Yempendulo Eqhubekayo
Ukusebenzisa i-CI/CD kukuvumela ukuthi uqoqe ngokuqhubekayo impendulo evela kubasebenzisi nababambiqhaza. Ukuthunyelwa okuvamile kukuvumela ukuthi uqoqe imininingwane ebalulekile, uhlaziye amaphethini okusetshenziswa, futhi uthuthukise ngokuphindaphindiwe isixazululo sezibalo ngokusekelwe kudatha yomhlaba wangempela nezidingo zomsebenzisi. Le luphu yempendulo ephindaphindwayo iqinisekisa ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwakho kwezibalo kuhlala kusebenza futhi kuhambisana nezidingo zebhizinisi eziguqukayo. 
I-Rollback kanye Nokubuyisela
Esimeni sezinkinga noma ukwehluleka, inqubo echazwe kahle ye-CI/CD inika amandla ukubuyisela emuva enguqulweni ezinzile noma ukuthunyelwa kwezilungiso. Lokhu kunciphisa isikhathi sokuphumula futhi kuqinisekisa ukutholakala okungaphazamiseki nokusebenza kokusetshenziswa kwezibalo zakho. Ikhono lokulungisa ngokushesha futhi ululame ezinkingeni libalulekile ekugcineni ukwethembeka kwesixazululo sakho sezibalo.
I-Scalability kanye Nokuvumelana nezimo
Izinqubo ze-CI/CD zingaka kalula, zivumelane nokuqaliswa okukhulayo kokuhlaziywa kanye namathimba akhulayo. Njengoba iphrojekthi yakho yezibalo ithuthuka, amapayipi e-CI/CD angakwazi ukuphatha ukuhamba komsebenzi okukhudlwana, izindawo eziningi, nokuhlanganiswa nezinye izinhlelo. Lokhu kuhlakazeka nokuguquguquka kunika amandla ukuqaliswa kwezibalo zakho ukuze kukhule ngokuhambisana nezidingo zebhizinisi lakho. Encwadini ethi The Phoenix Project kaGene Kim, uKevin Behr noGeorge Spafford, kuchazwa isimo esihlekisayo. UBill Palmer, i-VP ye-IT Operations kanye nomlingiswa oyinhloko encwadini unengxoxo no-Erik Reid, Oqokelwe Ibhodi, Guru. Bakhuluma nge-Scalability kanye nokuguquguquka kokulethwa kwezinguquko ekukhiqizeni.
U-Erik: “Khipha abantu ohlelweni lokusatshalaliswa. Thola ukuthi ungafika kanjani ekusetshenzisweni okuyishumi ngosuku” [Isendlalelo: iphrojekthi yasePhoenix isetshenziswa kanye njalo ezinyangeni ezi-2-3]
Umthethosivivinywa: “Ukuthunyelwa okuyishumi ngosuku? Ngiqinisekile ukuthi akekho obuza lokho. Awuzibeki umgomo ophezulu odingwa yibhizinisi?”
Erik uyabubula futhi ehlahle amehlo: “Yeka ukugxila esilinganisweni esiqondiwe sokusebenza. Ukushesha kwebhizinisi akukhona nje ngesivinini esingavuthiwe. Kumayelana nokuthi unekhono kangakanani ekutholeni nasekuphenduleni izinguquko emakethe futhi ukwazi ukuthatha ubungozi obukhulu futhi obaliwe. Uma ungakwazi ukuvivinya futhi unqobe izimbangi zakho kusenesikhathi ukuze umakethe futhi usheshe, ucwile.”
Ukunwebeka kanye Nokuvumelana nezimo kunomthelela ekukhishweni okuphindaphindwayo, okuthembekile okuletha ngokuvumelana nezikhathi ezidingekayo zebhizinisi.
Futhi ekugcineni….
Inqubo efanele ye-CI/CD ibalulekile ekuthuthukiseni ukusebenza kahle, ikhwalithi, ukubambisana, nokuba bukhali kokusetshenziswa kwezibalo zakho. Ngokusebenzisa ngokuzenzakalelayo ukuthunyelwa, ukunciphisa amaphutha, ukuthuthukisa izinqubo zokuhlola, nokusungula iluphu yempendulo eqhubekayo, amabhizinisi angakwazi ukuthola isikhathi esisheshayo sokumaketha, imininingwane enembile, nokugcina umkhawulo wokuncintisana endaweni eqhutshwa idatha. Ukwamukela i-CI/CD akugcini nje ngokuqinisa isixazululo sakho sokuhlaziya kodwa futhi kunikeza isisekelo sokuthuthukisa okuqhubekayo nokusungula izinto ezintsha.
