Testing Complete System Deployments with Zuul - Project Gating and Infrastructure Testing

Learn how to implement robust system deployment testing through Project Gating in this 36-minute conference talk from the OpenInfra Foundation. Discover how the OpenDev collaboratory team uses a powerful combination of Containers, Ansible, and Zuul to manage enterprise-level services and infrastructure changes. Explore the innovative approach where Zuul creates complete infrastructure copies for testing proposed changes using Ansible, enabling confident direct-to-production deployments. Gain practical insights into testing complete systems as speaker James Blair demonstrates how the public infrastructure allows anyone to propose changes while maintaining reliability through automated testing processes. Master the techniques of bridging the gap between development and operations in a GitOps environment, and learn how to implement similar testing strategies in your own infrastructure.
