openKONSEQUENZ Platform-Maintainer

The PTA is creating a cloud-based CI/CD pipeline using SaaS and open source products so that openKONSEQUENZ user modules can be built automatically, security checks performed, source code quality checked, and deployed to an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster in the cloud. The products and tools used for this are Gitlab.com Saas, Gitlab Public Repositories, Gitlab Eclipse Repositories, SaaS SonarCloud, and Azure Cloud. Using a manifest repository consisting of Helmcharts, the declarative CI tool ArgoCD and the App Of Apps pattern, a dynamic and very flexible Docker infrastructure is deployed in the AKS cluster. Through this, each openKONSEQUENZ service provider member can obtain its own DEV and QS environments. After setting up the entire environment, the migration of the previous openKONSEQUENZ modules into the Cloud DEMO environment takes place. Subsequently, the PTA takes over the support and further development of the modules and pipelines set up in the Azure cloud.
