DEVOPS e computação em nuvem: automação inteligente de pipelines CI/CD

Abstract

This work presents the development of a practical automation solution for Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery pipelines in a cloud computing environment, demons- trating how the adoption of DevOps practices enhances efficiency and reliability in software delivery processes. The study defines the problem, analyzes essential concepts, and applies a methodology based on literature review, comparative analysis of tools, experimental im- plementation, and results validation. The research employs accessible resources, integrates widely adopted technologies, and shows that automated processes reduce failures, stan- dardize environments, and accelerate delivery. The implementation includes the creation of a functional pipeline, the configuration of a cloud infrastructure, and the automated publication of container images in a remote repository. The analysis of pipeline executions confirms that the delivered solution is stable, secure, and reproducible. The work also validates the proposal through comparison with a real production case, reinforcing the practical relevance of the implemented automation. The results demonstrate concrete improvements in performance, error reduction, and traceability across development stages.
