Gitlab CI Architecture

Central Build-box Architecture:

• Repositories on https://git.randomhouse.com

• Runners installed on Build Boxes

• Build boxes watch for changes, and executes build instructions as needed

• Builds occur within temporary directory on build box

• Resulting "Productionalized" code remotely deployed onto destination servers

• Destination Servers serves application

This is the preferred architecture

• Increased security

• Decreased runner maintenance

• Build processing load on dedicated resources

• Promotes 'clean deploy' on destination servers
