  • PIPELINE RELEASE VALIDATION
    Publication number: 20230145163
    Abstract: A pipeline (e.g., a DevOps or DevSecOps pipeline) may include utilities corresponding to stages within the pipeline. A device may execute the pipeline on a version of a codebase, where the version of the codebase is associated with an immutable identifier of a version control management system. The device may generate metadata for one or more of the utilities of the pipeline based executing the pipeline on the version of the codebase. The device may store the metadata at a database, where the immutable identifier is designated as a primary key for the stored metadata. The device may verify the metadata at one or more gates of the pipeline based on a comparison of the stored metadata to a set of policy information associated with the one or more gates.
