Process Automation in Software Development

The world of technology operates like a high-speed racetrack, where businesses must constantly innovate to assert their position in the market. New products and features are constantly being launched to keep up with trends and create competitive advantages for businesses. The question is how to accelerate to the finish line while still ensuring quality? The answer is the trend of automating the software development process.

Many businesses are facing a wave of automation technology.

If we consider the software development process as a journey, then automation solutions are the highway, shortening the distance from idea to actual product. Because software development is not just about coding but also a complex process, requiring smooth coordination through many stages, from planning, designing, building, testing to deployment, operation and security.

Applying automation to the entire process will eliminate manual, repetitive and time-consuming tasks. This will reduce the risk of errors, speed up deployment, and ensure consistency and user experience.

Development teams easily integrate, test, and deploy applications on the cloud platform with CI/CD Pipeline

One of the most prominent automation tools being adopted is the CI/CD Pipeline. The State of DevOps report found that organizations that have mastered CI/CD deploy 208 times more frequently and have 106 times faster turnaround times than those that don’t. So the question is no longer “Should I automate?”, but “When should I start?”.

CMC Cloud launches CI/CD Pipeline feature

In Vietnam, with the explosion of technology companies, the need to shorten software development time is becoming a great pressure for the IT team. However, not all businesses have enough resources to build an optimal DevOps infrastructure. That is why CMC Cloud launched the CI/CD Pipeline feature - helping to automate processes, optimize operations and speed up software deployment on the cloud platform.

With CMC Cloud CI/CD Pipeline, the software development process is continuous and uninterrupted.

Mr. Nguyen Minh Quang - Director of CMC Cloud Solution Consulting emphasized: “Designed in the direction of Cloud Native, CI/CD Pipeline solution effectively combines services and resources on cloud platform, helping to simplify software development processes, making it easier to manage infrastructure. By applying CI/CD Pipeline, CMC Telecom customers not only save time, resources but also human resources for deployment and operation”.

The difference of CMC Cloud CI/CD Pipeline lies in the Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) model. Unlike traditional platforms that provide CI/CD individually on each instance (IaaS), CMC Cloud provides a unified pipeline that is easily integrated with existing infrastructure without requiring too much effort and time to configure.

High stability, tight security and flexible scalability are the advantages of CI/CD Pipeline feature from CMC Cloud

In addition to deployment time, this feature also helps to reduce errors that arise during the development process. Instead of waiting until the final testing stage to detect problems, the system will automatically and continuously check each step, helping to detect and fix errors right from the start. This not only ensures product quality, but also significantly saves costs and time to fix errors after deployment.

With an intuitive, easy-to-manage interface and a system designed to flexibly integrate with platforms such as GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Docker, Kubernetes, SonarQube, CMC Cloud helps businesses easily control and customize their pipelines without requiring deep expertise. This solution is not only suitable for large technology companies, but also helps small and medium-sized businesses keep up with trends in software development.

CMC Telecom belongs to CMC Technology Group, the only digital infrastructure enterprise in Vietnam with foreign shareholders (TIME dotCom, Malaysia's Top 2 telecommunications group), aiming to become the leading comprehensive service provider in Vietnam and the region, leading in 5 service groups: Connectivity & Internet, Data Center, Cloud, Cyber ​​Security and Managed Services.

CMC Cloud is a "make in Vietnam" cloud computing platform invested and developed by CMC Telecom based on 3 main pillars: Open thinking (optimizing community knowledge resources, mastering core technology); Open architecture (Independent of technology, independent of platform); Open source code and commercialized products (In-depth development and flexible response to specific needs of Vietnamese enterprises).
