Thank you! This is a shockingly well put together and succinct explanation with awesome graphics to reinforce the talk track without bloat. Fantastic work!

[zahidulislam]

As usual, a great overview! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the video! Just short info for people who are not know much about CI/CD. CI/CD is not about tools at all, it's about approach/practice. Tools just help to reach the goal.

CI is about continuous integration our changes into a single unit. It's the practice that allow us to integrate many changes made by many people into the single unit. For example in dev area, the unit can be some branch in the git repository.

CD is about keeping the unit deployable to the prod environment. It means that our unit should have ready to prod state. It means that where we integrate should have a fully working state.

The thing with CI/CD is that it can lead to a hugh bureaucracy overhead. Each of the steps on the pipeline is more often than not, out of reach for a developer and locked away behind a plethora of access request tickets. If you, as a developer, have a issue in one of those steps, you're in for 1-2 weeks of waiting for devops/infra/whoever to sort things out. You are still responsible, but you will not have the tools to fix it. As opposed to other approaches where devops, who has the tools, is also responsible for making things work. Companies seem to think that CD/CI is fire-and-forget miracle solution when in reality, it requires a lot of supervision and revision all the time to insure that it not riddled with roadblocks.

Thank you for this short but very insightful video. The graphics helped explain CI/CD in a way other talking head with static slide videos do not. You got a new sub!

Great video for learning CI/CD in 5 minutes. Would you recommend a course for learning CI/CD in, say, 5 hours(in depth system design)?

Really appreciate these abbreviated overviews!! 🎉

[skergalx]

Thanks so much for your explainer videos! They are very helpful for me as a non technical person who have to work with the devs and engineers

[when_life_gives_you_limes]

Great work with the animations, I love them!

[EljahB]

Beautifully explained overview, I would love to see more content like this for DevSecOps. I’m taking the SANS GIAC course and this ties in perfectly and covers high level gaps.

[dipkumar]

Wow! I am a first viewer of this video😅. I must say, the animation is amazing and content is easy to understand! Thanks 😊

[MP-wmgb]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Please, don't stop making these videos!

[syedarmaghanhassan]

This is one of the best channels i knlw. Thanks for sharing.

I have an apinion on this CI CD topic.
Why would a functional or automation tester ever use CI CD, or any repository other than Jira, or Testcase management tools?

This is required for code integration and automated deployment... for developers. A software tester has notving to do with it.. 😅

Testers dont use Guthub/Lab, or any pipeline. Testers use Jira X-Ray, HP Alm, Selenium, Postman, etc.

[M-lime]

This is one of the best videos not just about cicd but about tech in general. I wonder what tools were used to create the animations?! 👏🏼

[ovistoica]

As a beginner youtuber in the programming space, I have to say, I LOVE YOUR EDITING! It seems to take so much effort to animate all these parts. What are you using for that?

Thank you for the great information and me personally I would love a deep dive into your youtube creation process

[nessitro]

well made video with beautiful animations which made it even more easier to watch

[ConorLambert]

Excellent video. Nice and short with a great overview

[kishen]

brilliant. clear, concise and a great overview

[Jerry-ucpn]

This video explaining CICD is better than 95% of videos out there.
