Continuous Deployment Fabric

The Continuous Deployment Fabric (CDF) in Torus is responsible for configuring servers and environments. It streamlines the deployment process by providing a visual interface for managing infrastructure. Similar to other Torus fabrics, CDF utilizes artifacts and diagrams to represent deployment configurations.

Artifact Types in CDF

Artifact Type	Description
CDF - ENVD (Environment Diagram)	Represents different environments (e.g., development, staging, production) within the deployment pipeline. It also defines relationships and dependencies between these environments.
CDF - IFD (Infrastructure Diagram)	Details the underlying infrastructure required for your deployments.

Procedure: Configuring Deployments

1. Create an Artifact:
   • Navigate to the CDF section of Torus and create a new artifact.
2. Draw the Diagram:
   • Use the drag-and-drop interface to add nodes and connectors for either the ENVD or IFD.
3. Configure Nodes:
   • Use the "Property" panel to define settings such as server specifications, database settings, and environment variables.
4. Save the Artifact:
   • Save the completed diagram as an artifact for future use.

CDF-ENVD - Node Gallery

Node	Description
MongoDB	A flexible, document-oriented database for scalable applications.
Postgres	A powerful, open-source relational database system.
Nest	A progressive Node.js framework for building server-side applications.
GitHub	A platform for version control and collaboration.
Redis	An in-memory data store used as a database, cache, and message broker.
End	Marks the termination point of a workflow.
Host	Represents a server instance for deployments.
Start	Indicates the beginning of a workflow.
Minio	An object storage server compatible with Amazon S3.

Diagram Structure

Step	Action
Start Node	Represents the initiation of the deployment process.
Postgres Node	Connects from the "Start" node, deploying a PostgreSQL database.
Nest Node	Connects to "Postgres", representing the deployment of a Nest.js app.
Redis Node	Connects to "Nest", indicating Redis deployment.
GitHub Node	Connects separately from "Start", representing version control integration.
Minio Node	Connects from "GitHub", indicating Minio storage deployment.
End Node	Connects from "Redis" and "Minio", marking process completion.

Filling Node Properties (Example: Redis)

1. Select the Redis node in your diagram.
2. Open the "Node Properties" panel.
3. Enter the required configuration:
   • REDIS HOST: Redis server hostname or IP address.
   • REDIS PORT: Default Redis port (usually 6379).
   • REDIS USERNAME: Redis authentication username (if required).
   • REDIS PASSWORD: Redis authentication password (if required).

Using in Build

• Save the ENVD artifact once all configurations are complete.
• During the build process, select the saved ENVD artifact.
• Torus CDF will automate deployment based on the artifact’s configuration.

Important Notes

• Ensure that all property values match your actual infrastructure.
• Fill in the required properties for each node.
• The Build process will interpret this diagram to create the infrastructure.
