Arquitectura tecnológica para la entrega continua de software con despliegue en contenedores

Abstract

The University of Cuenca through the Information and Communications Technology Division offers to the University Community services related to ICTs to support administrative, academic and research activities. The division has a software development unit that is in charge of maintaining the information systems, that are in production and the development of new projects focused on strengthening the institutional strategy. The lack of a standard architecture for software development has made the deployment of new versions of applications an extensive and complicated task, easily introducing regression errors in the software that is used in production, that is hindering quality assurance. Therefore, the need to implement a pipeline of continuous software delivery that allows the development team to mitigate the risks that are inherent in the release of the product has been raised. For the success in the implementation of a pipeline, an elevated level of automation is required in the process of construction and verification of the software that allows automated deployments in a reliable manner. The tools that support it are based on technology stacks and the execution environment of the applications. This thesis project is defined from the foundations of the continuous delivery of software and the analysis of the work done so far, a technological architecture for the implementation of an automated process of continuous delivery according to the guidelines and needs of the development unit of software of the University of Cuenca.
