# ci-cd-pipeline-stages.sh
# Illustration of CI/CD stages

# ============================================
# CI (Continuous Integration)
# ============================================
# Goal: Frequently integrate code into a shared repository
# Automation: Build + Tests
echo "CI: Code commit → Build → Unit Tests → Integration Tests"

# ============================================
# CD (Continuous Delivery)
# ============================================
# Goal: Code always deployable to production
# Automation: CI + Staging deployment + Manual approval
echo "CD Delivery: CI → Deploy Staging → Manual Approval → Deploy Prod"

# ============================================
# CD (Continuous Deployment)
# ============================================
# Goal: Automatic deployment to production
# Automation: Entire pipeline without human intervention
echo "CD Deployment: CI → Deploy Staging → Auto Tests → Auto Deploy Prod"

# kubernetes-debugging.sh
# Workflow for debugging a failing Pod

# Step 1: Check Pod status
kubectl get pod my-app-pod -o wide
# STATUS: CrashLoopBackOff, ImagePullBackOff, Pending, etc.

# Step 2: Pod details and events
kubectl describe pod my-app-pod
# Important sections:
# - Conditions (PodScheduled, Initialized, Ready)
# - Events (scheduling, pull errors, etc.)

# Step 3: Container logs
kubectl logs my-app-pod --previous  # Previous crash logs
kubectl logs my-app-pod -c init-container  # Init container logs

# Step 4: Interactive execution for debugging
kubectl exec -it my-app-pod -- sh
# Check: env vars, mounted files, network

# Step 5: Check available resources
kubectl describe node <node-name>
# Sections: Allocatable, Allocated resources

# Step 6: Debug with ephemeral Pod (K8s 1.25+)
kubectl debug my-app-pod -it --image=busybox --share-processes

    commands:

  CrashLoopBackOff:
    causes:

# Lessons learned
lessons_learned:
  what_went_well:
    - "Fast detection thanks to alerting (< 3 min)"
    - "Clear communication in incident channel"
    - "Rollback completed in less than 15 minutes"
  what_went_poorly:
    - "No load testing on new endpoint"
    - "Staging didn't reflect prod data volume"
  lucky:
    - "Incident during daytime with full team available"
