I am using cloud build and GKE k8s cluster and i have setup CI/CD from github to cloud build.
I want to know is it good to add CI build file and Dockerfile in the repository or manage config file separately in another repository?
Is it good to add Ci & k8s config files with business logic repository?
What is best way to implement CI/CD cloud build to GKE with managing CI/k8 yaml files
Yes, you can add deployment directives, typically in a dedicated folder of your project, which can in turn use a cicd repository
See "kelseyhightower/pipeline-application" as an example, where:
Changes pushed to any branch except master should trigger the following actions:
- build a container image tagged with the build ID suitable for deploying to a staging cluster
- clone the pipeline-infrastructure-staging repo
- patch the pipeline deployment configuration file with the staging container image and commit the changes to the pipeline-infrastructure-staging repo
The pipeline-infrastructure-staging repo will deploy any updates committed to the master branch.
Please keep in mind that:
The best solution for storing Dockerfile or build config file should be the remote repository. For dockerfiles this is supported as "Native Docker support" in gcloud.
You can use different host repositories like:
As an example structure for build config yaml file you can find here, informations about cloud build concepts and tutorials.
