Unit 9: Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment

Up to this point, we have covered many topics on the DevOps (developement and operations) of research computing. This expecially includes Git for version control, Docker for containerization, and Compose for container orchestration. These topics go beyond simply writing or running code for computational biology. Rather they focus on the process and the environment so that code is written or run in a reliable and reproducible way.

This unit explores additional topics that fall under the DevOps of research computing. The topics focus on automating the build, testing, and deployment process of your software so that you can work on projects, including collaboratively, quickly and efficiently.
