DevOps Infrastructure Workflows

Version: 1.0.0 Status: Production Last Updated: December 28, 2025 Category: Infrastructure & DevOps

Workflow Overview​

This document provides a comprehensive library of DevOps and infrastructure workflows for the CODITECT platform. These workflows cover infrastructure provisioning, CI/CD pipeline management, container orchestration, monitoring setup, and disaster recovery automation. Each workflow includes detailed phase breakdowns, inputs/outputs, and success criteria to ensure reliable infrastructure operations.

Inputs​

InputTypeRequiredDescription
environmentstringYesTarget environment (dev, staging, production)
infrastructure_specobjectYesInfrastructure specification (IaC template)
deployment_configobjectNoDeployment configuration (replicas, resources)
monitoring_configobjectNoMonitoring and alerting configuration
secretsobjectNoSecret references (not values)
approval_requiredbooleanNoWhether manual approval is needed

Outputs​

OutputTypeDescription
deployment_idstringUnique identifier for the deployment
infrastructure_stateobjectCurrent infrastructure state
endpointsobjectService endpoints and URLs
health_statusobjectHealth check results
metrics_dashboardstringLink to monitoring dashboard
rollback_infoobjectInformation needed for rollback

Phase 1: Infrastructure Provisioning​

Initial phase provisions cloud infrastructure:

  1. Requirements Analysis - Analyze infrastructure requirements
  2. IaC Template Selection - Select appropriate Terraform/Pulumi templates
  3. Resource Provisioning - Provision cloud resources
  4. Network Configuration - Configure VPCs, subnets, security groups
  5. Validation - Verify infrastructure is properly provisioned

Phase 2: CI/CD Pipeline Execution​

Core deployment phase runs the CI/CD pipeline:

  1. Source Checkout - Retrieve source code from repository
  2. Build - Build application artifacts
  3. Test - Run automated test suites
  4. Security Scan - Scan for vulnerabilities
  5. Deploy - Deploy to target environment

Phase 3: Monitoring & Validation​

Final phase sets up monitoring and validates deployment:

  1. Health Checks - Verify all services are healthy
  2. Monitoring Setup - Configure metrics, logs, traces
  3. Alert Configuration - Set up alerting rules
  4. Documentation - Update runbooks and documentation
  5. Handoff - Notify stakeholders of completion
