Promote same docker build from test env to staging environment

Neeraj Kumar_ynfabn

Below is my pipeline code with 2 steps for test and staging. Staging being manually triggered.

 - step:
     name: Deploy to test
     image: google/cloud-sdk:latest
     deployment: test
     script:
       - scripts/deploy_to_test.sh
- step:
     name: Deploy to staging
     deployment: staging
     trigger: manual
     script:
     - scripts/deploy_to_staging.sh

deploy_to_test.sh builds a docker image with a build id and deploys in test env. Later once everything fine we want to deploy the same docker image build in staging environment.

I wanted to know, How I can pass same build id to deploy_to_staging.sh script?

I see 1 way is to generate an build id artifact from test env and use it in staging env. As its very common requirement, I was wondering if there is any standard way to accomplish this.

Hi Neeraj,

Your approach is how I recommend you do this.

You will need to push your Docker image in your 'Deploy to test' step, and pass the name/tag of that image as an artifact to your 'Deploy to staging' step. You can then pull the image in that step and then trigger the staging deployment.

Thanks,

Phil
