For automating the CI/CD pipeline of DAGs running in Cloud Composer, the following approach ensures that DAGs are tested and deployed in a streamlined and efficient manner.
Use Cloud Build for Development Instance Testing:
Use Cloud Build to automate the process of copying the DAG code to the Cloud Storage bucket of the development instance.
This triggers Cloud Composer to automatically pick up and test the new DAGs in the development environment.
Testing and Validation:
Ensure that the DAGs run successfully in the development environment.
Validate the functionality and correctness of the DAGs before promoting them to production.
Deploy to Production:
If the DAGs pass all tests in the development environment, use Cloud Build to copy the tested DAG code to the Cloud Storage bucket of the production instance.
This ensures that only validated and tested DAGs are deployed to production, maintaining the stability and reliability of the production environment.
Simplicity and Reliability:
This approach leverages Cloud Build's capabilities for automation and integrates seamlessly with Cloud Composer's reliance on Cloud Storage for DAG storage.
By using Cloud Storage for both development and production deployments, the process remains simple and robust.
