About This Architecture

SONiC CI/CD Workflow State Model orchestrates network OS builds through four distinct lifecycle phases: Build, Validation, Qualification, and Closure. Trigger Accepted initiates Pipeline Instantiation, progressing through Source Resolution and Build Completion to Artifact Storage, then into Validation with Testbed Allocation, Provisioning, Test Execution, and Results Classification. Decision gates at Testbed Availability and Qualification determine workflow progression, with Human-Assisted intervention enabling manual overrides for non-qualified builds. This state machine ensures comprehensive testing and validation before final workflow completion, reducing deployment risk in network infrastructure. Fork and customize this diagram on Diagrams.so to adapt the state model for your organization's SONiC CI/CD requirements and compliance gates.

What are the key stages and decision points in a SONiC CI/CD workflow from build trigger to final qualification?

The SONiC CI/CD Workflow State Model defines four lifecycle phases: Build (Trigger Accepted through Artifact Stored), Validation (Testbed Allocation through Results Available), Qualification (Failures Classified through Qualified decision), and Closure (Workflow Completed). Decision gates at Testbed Availability and Qualification enable conditional progression, with Human-Assisted intervention all
