Pipeline orchestrator

Also known as the CI (Continuous Integration) Orchestrator - This is where automation happens. The CI Orchestrator provides connectors to version control, build systems, and packaging and deployment. Its goal is to remove manual and repetitive tasks as much as possible. It also drives the building of the application package, includes automated unit tests, and publishes the results in an artifact repository to make them available to the provisioning and deployment practices.

Common pipeline orchestrator options

• GitLab CI
• Jenkins
• GitHub Actions
• Azure Pipelines
