eIAM Automation (CI/CD)

eIAM Automation of Service Release & Application Integrations

• An eIAM application integration via the REF/ABN/PROD instances can be individually planned and executed (detailed informations under: CC-PLan).
  
• The eIAM service changes and new features can be introduced continuously and without service interruptions.
• With the Testing in Canary mode, a service change, a new feature can first be made available to only a small subset of users for testing before it is activated for all.

eIAM automation of service release & application integrations

1. Application integration data sources
• The eIAM doser provides all data needed for the eIAM integration REF/ABN/PROD.
• In the context of the eIAM integration project, the necessary system configurations for REF/ABN/PROD are also created
.

2. Filing / Repository
• The integration team places all information from the eIAM dossier and the necessary system configuration in the central repository, the Central Configuration Repository (CCRepo).
  
3. Code generation
• The Generation Engine, together with the eIAM configuration data and the Central Configuration Repository, forms the core of the CI/CD architecture to generate the corresponding codes required per eIAM instance and component.
  
• Using the Jenkins pipeline, the project/service code updates can be individually created and continuously updated.
4. Konfigurationsdaten
• This configuration data is then pushed through the different levels of DEV respectively for applications from REF to PROD (export/import functionality)
5. Lieferung
• The respective components are prepared here for "delivery" to the Bundestrustbroker (BTB) and container infrastructures per eIAM instance and can then be specifically activated.
6. Operation
• The operation is based on the Bundestrustbroker (BTB) for the identity and attribute switches and a container infrastructure (Kubernetes) which include the following CI/CD advantages:
  • High availability thanks to failover facilities
    
  • high scalability
  • uninterrupted maintenance
  • Canary deployments
