Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) have become critical tools to IoT edge device developers. In this workshop, participants will delve into the fundamentals of Embedded DevOps by designing and implementing their own CI/CD pipeline using Gitlab. 

Attendees will gain practical experience in configuring build systems, designing a CI/CD pipeline, and implementing it. (At least as much as can be done in a few hours). We’ll explore how to containerize your build environment in Docker, so that you can easily integrate it into an embedded CI/CD pipeline. You’ll also learn how to use Visual Studio Code to seamlessly integrate your build processes within a single environment. 

Attendees will walk away with a basic, but functional CI pipeline that they can easily scale to meet their needs. 

Key topics covered in this workshop include:

• The role of DevOps in Edge and embedded system development
• CI/CD pipeline design for embedded systems
• Containerizing your build system in Docker
• Set up and deployment of CI/CD solutions
• Best practices and steps to go further

	to me the main fragility of docker is just that - bitrot. Aside from running your own file server is there a nice way to combat that?

	I guess my concern is when I go back to revisit an old project ~5 years later, will go with the file server option. Cheers!
11:41:46 From John W to Everyone:
	you could also host forks of images in your own git repo for example, in the event that you didn't want to host your own file server, e.g. on github. Unless I am missing something in that question/response about bit rot

11:43:31 From Andrew MacIsaac to Everyone:
	If you make the container image itself an artifact, then you can build and store it, rather than rebuilding it on use.  If you make your CI/CD and your developers pull the image from a (potentially local) container repository, then you can have all the dependencies bundled together.
11:43:32 From Nathan to Everyone:
	Be careful about licenses for some of these (like vendor specific stuff): you don't always have the right to make them available yourself

	If you have downloaded the folder, in the Labs folder there's a PDF called EOC_CICD_Workshop_Exercises.pdf that contains the "directions"
11:49:49 From tyhw to Everyone:
	Replying to "I'm a bit confused. ..."
	
	Oh! Thanks
11:55:00 From Ian Rasmussen to Everyone:
	When you say "The more RUN commands you use the more layers will exist in your image." does that mean any invocation or RUN adds a layer, or any individual command used in RUN (like RUN apt-get update) is a new layer?
11:55:29 From Ian Rasmussen to Everyone:
	the spaghetti is calling to me with one long RUN command
11:58:40 From Ian Rasmussen to Everyone:
	yep, thanks
12:01:22 From Ian Rasmussen to Everyone:
	So if I understand docker correctly, we create the Dockerfile to assemble the image, and then the image is distributed to developers, not the Dockerfile, ensuring that everyone is on the same version of code?
	I ask since I see the apt-get update commands in the RUN commands.
12:04:41 From Ian Rasmussen to Everyone:

12:33:05 From Singhal, Rishi to Everyone:
	Replying to "Can someone resend t..."
	
	yes. Ok good to know it works for you, it's probably a copy paste error or something
12:33:42 From Nick Tillich to Everyone:
	Replying to "Can someone resend t..."
	
	if you're copy-pasting from PDF, careful as it's turning --version into -version
12:33:59 From Scott H to Everyone:
	Replying to "(Am getting an oath ..."
	
	This was resolved by using the docker gui instead of the command line
12:35:43 From Ian Rasmussen to Everyone:
	There's a Linux CLI version of Docker which I believe avoids the licensing of the Windows Desktop version (or at least that's the understanding I've been operating under for the last year or so 😅). Makes it easy to use with WSL, but I remember it being a little bit of a pain to get installed.
12:38:26 From Austin K (Indesign) to Everyone:

12:42:01 From Ian Rasmussen to Everyone:
	Replying to "Anyone else get this..."
	
	Do you have WSL 1 or WSL 2? Pretty sure it only works with WSL2 (not sure if that would generate this error specifically, just know that there will be issues if it's WSL 1)
12:42:13 From Austin K (Indesign) to Everyone:
	Here is the full error message:
	provisioning docker WSL distros: ensuring main distro is deployed: checking if main distro is up to date: checking main distro bootstrap version: getting main distro bootstrap version: exit code: 4294967295: running WSL command wsl.exe C:\Windows\System32\wsl.exe -d docker-desktop -u root -e wsl-bootstrap version: Failed to attach disk '\AppData\Local\Docker\wsl\distro\ext4.vhdx' to WSL2: The system cannot find the path specified.

12:42:52 From Austin K (Indesign) to Everyone:
	I have WSL 2. I think my Docker install didn't work, as I'm missing "AppData\Local\Docker\" folder, so it can't find that path.
12:43:06 From Scott H to Everyone:
	Gotta go, thanks for the workshop, will continue experimenting in my own time. Looks easier than I'd assumed which is nice!
12:44:46 From Jacob Beningo to Everyone:
	Ensure that Docker Desktop is set to use WSL 2 as the backend. In Docker Desktop, go to the "Settings" menu and make sure WSL 2 is selected.
12:45:49 From Austin K (Indesign) to Everyone:
	Okay, WSL 2 is selected. I will try to reinstall Docker. Thanks for looking.
12:47:52 From Ian Rasmussen to Everyone:
	I've had no issues running it on WSL2 for the past year+ (was just using it as a build environment provided by another company, so no experience building anything out). Setup was a bit rough, and then jumping through some hoops to get USB uploading working. But has been great since.
12:49:17 From Michael to Everyone:
	My host machine is Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and i'm installing docker and docker desktop for the first time. I followed the instructions in docs.docker.com for installation and have disabled docker engine (per the suggestion on the install docs page). When I laundh docker desktop it says starting the docker engine and that never finishes (15+ mins, two relaunches).  I haven't rebooted as I don't want to drop this call at this moment. Any suggestions for things to look into for why docker desktop doesn't appear to start?
12:50:16 From Ian Rasmussen to Everyone:
	Replying to "My host machine is U..."
	
	Someone at the beginning said that desktop needs a reboot after install, but they didn't specify which OS. So that might just be your issue.
12:50:42 From Michael to Everyone:
	Yea, they mentioned WSL so I was thinking that was windows but perhaps it is linux too
12:51:07 From Michael to Everyone:
	if no obvious gotchas anyone knows I'm sure I can sort it out later/offline
12:54:08 From Austin K (Indesign) to Everyone:
	Do you run build/analysis tools locally before committing to prevent pipeline failures or let the pipeline catch all issues?
12:54:47 From Michael to Everyone:
	What are the best practices (or the practices you find the most useful) when doing CI/CD development with regards to local testing before committing as well as git commit message standards?

Our team is looking to shift to a CI/CD pipeline. We like all this opens up but with hardware in the loop development/testing, would it make sense to use the CI/CD as a validation + release phase vs debug development? A big plus is the centralized build system and tracking this provides but do you feel some development would be better aided running locally first to determine the direction of what to commit and run through the pipeline?

	The CI/CD product we used for a recent project allowed us to do EVERYTHING locally that was also done in the code. All of us developers could easily check that things worked before we did a commit/push. It was really sweet. We used EmebOps and it worked very very well for us.
