How to create CICD integration between two instances, to migrate all the update sets and plugins

[Community Alums]

Need to automate the all the plugins installations and update set creations from one instance to another instance using CICD integration hub.

Please guide me with the flow/if possible please propose any other solution to achieve this

Hi @Community Alums 

Greetings!!

CI CD is very vast term and the example you put, CICD is not for same. CI CD is for build , deployment. The example you said auto installation of Plugins , movement of update set either you can do manually or via flow but not via CICD.

CICD ( in SN Devops ) we can integrate with Jira / jenkins / Github where plugins / update set not follow these tools, so in your case Flow will best suit but also need to understand the full business case as well.

Hi Atul,

Thanks for looking into it. So the requirement is, We need to automate the Updates set movements from  Dev instance to Test instance when it is completed. Similarly, When an plugin is installed in DEV instance, it should be automatically installed in TEST instance. Let me know if this can be achieved in any other ways.

Currently, am trying with CI/CD integration hub 'activate plugin' with v_plugin table. It is affecting the instance performance.

For Update Sets there is nothing for this out-of-the-box. No API's, Spokes, whatever. You can mimic it looking at the out-of-the-box code for retrieved and committing update sets, though that does cost a bit of resourcing on your end.

For plugins, you could imagine setting up an integration to trigger the plugin installation on a higher instance. I automated (store) plugin installation for a customer recently and will be sharing an article on this soon. I would recommend being careful with this though, and only doing this with supervision.
