CI/CD Overview

CI/CD Platform

All continuous integration and deployment for the Verify by Video solution is managed through GitHub Actions. Workflows live in .github/workflows/ and follow a trunk-based development model on the main branch.

Migration Note

The project previously used Azure DevOps pipelines for all deployments. Currently, the only ADO pipeline still in use is the VM start-stop scheduler, which manages both test and production VMs in a single pipeline.

All other development and test deployments are now managed via GitHub Actions. The GitHub Actions VM scheduler workflows (test/prod) are ready but not yet activated for production due to Change Advisory Board (CAB) approval requirements. The production tagging strategy is documented but not yet in use pending board approval. Development work in ADO has ceased except for the scheduler.

Environments

Environment	Purpose	Trigger Model
test	Non-production deployments and operations	Push to main, PRs, cron schedule
prod	Production deployments	Namespaced tags or manual dispatch with confirmation

All workflows that target production reference the prod GitHub environment, which can be configured with required reviewers and deployment branch restrictions.

What Deploys Where
