Create Pre-Builts for CI/CD: Promoting Your Automations
Itential provides an open source Automation Marketplace of 300+ integrations, automations, and transformations to make building automations faster and easier. In addition, Itential allows users to bundle their own automations, using the Pre-Built Wizard, to create their own Pre-Builts that can then be promoted in CI/CD pipelines and leveraged in higher-level Itential workflows.
Using Itential’s Pre-Built Promotion, users can promote a previously bundled Pre-Built in a CI/CD pipeline using a version control service such as GitHub, GitLab, or BitBucket. Promotion can be done through the Itential Automation Platform, and then the bundled and promoted automation can be deployed into a new environment.
In Part 2 of this ItentiaLearn demo series, see step-by-step how to:
- Install and run Itential’s Pre-Built Promotion for your automation.
- Configure and define paths and required variables to determine how your automation will be promoted.
- Verify pipeline steps are completed and check that your promoted Pre-Built has been correctly imported to your target Itential instance.
In Part 3, you’ll see how to use Pre-Built Promotion for automations that have already been promoted previously, leveraging a version control service and Itential’s CI/CD features to ensure consistent versioning for your automations.
