How Jaguar Land Rover embraced CI to speed up their software lifecycle

What this post added

This post details Jaguar Land Rover's adoption of CI/CD to drastically reduce their software development lifecycle. Key technical changes include moving to ephemeral Docker containers for builds, defining build infrastructure as code using packer recipes, and implementing over-the-air software delivery to vehicles. This resulted in a reduction of feedback loops from 4-6 weeks to 30 minutes and enabled 50-70 deployments per day per individual piece of software in their engineering environment.
