Companies are under mounting pressure to continuously release new applications and features. And as software development life cycles become more iterative, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) has become a necessary ingredient to enable more rapid deployments.

Interestingly, CDEvents, an emerging open source standard from the Continous Delivery Foundation (CDF), is working to standardize the root semantics of how CI/CD tools describe the payloads of their events with more granularity than CloudEvents. The project aims to establish schemas for how common CI/CD events are described, easing integration and providing more actionable data surrounding the CI/CD pipeline.

Als Teil der Linux-Foundation sieht sich die Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF) als herstellerneutrale Anlaufstelle für Open-Source-Projekte rund um das Thema Continuous Delivery und für die Spezifikationen entsprechender Pipeline-Prozesse. Dabei sehen es die Macher der CDF als eine Schlüsselfunktion ihrer gemeinnützigen Stiftung an, herstellerunabhängige Daten zu wichtigen DevOps- und Entwicklungsmetriken bereitzustellen. Diese sollen zeigen, wo Continuous Delivery aktuell steht. Dazu haben sie im vergangenen Jahr die Continuous-Delivery-Berichtsserie begonnen. Nun hat die CDF auf der Konferenz cdCON unter dem Titel “State of Continous Delivery Report 2022” den aktuell dritten Bericht in dieser Reihe vorgestellt.

AUSTIN, Texas — The CDEvents project proposes a standard way to communicate between CI/CD tools through an event-driven architecture, which could potentially reduce integration toil and improve compliance automation for DevOps platform teams.

The project, rolled out last month, was the focus of sessions and discussions among attendees at cdCon this week. It’s still in its raw early stages, but if it succeeds, CDEvents could do for DevOps pipelines what OpenTelemetry has done for distributed tracing: make it easy for users to swap specific tools in and out because they all share data in a compatible way.

Former Ericsson engineer Fatih Degirmenci will coordinate between CDF projects and CNCF working groups to secure software supply chains and ensure interoperability among tools.

AUSTIN, Texas — The Continuous Delivery Foundation appointed a new general manager last week, with a charter to grow the still-maturing community and distinguish it from its better-known Linux Foundation sibling, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.
