Jul 29, 2021Pierre Smeyers

Summary
This post details how Orange adopted GitLab's `include` feature to create and share reusable CI/CD pipeline templates, leading to standardization across their organization. They open-sourced these templates as 'to be continuous', providing a framework for build, analysis, packaging, infrastructure, deployment, and acceptance testing. The post includes an example `.gitlab-ci.yml` demonstrating the composition of multiple templates for a Java/Maven/Docker/Kubernetes project and contrasts development and production pipelines.
