CI/CD and Build optimization - Top 5 Strategy

Original post View as markdown

Having a optimized build and CI/CD process results in faster, efficient and cost effective builds.

Here are Top 5 things to start with for CI/CD optimization -

  1. Build Lean Container Images - Separate building the application from building its runtime layer and build form minimal base images  Reference - https://cloud.google.com/build/docs/optimize-builds/building-leaner-containers
  2. Using a cache like Kaniko with your build to cache container build artifacts .Kaniko works with all major cloud container registry. Reference -https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/kaniko
  3. Selective deployment based on last run and changes - Reference - https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/infrastructure-modernization/multi-folder-infrastructure-as-code-optimization
  4. Exclude files not required by build using vendor supported .ignore files - Reference - ( For docker, refer to BuildKit and .dockerignore , Link - https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/dockerfile_best-practices/)
  5. Move towards Green devOps - Understand the carbon impact of your builds and  schedule - batch changes for build, leverage green regions and timelines.
