There is no “compiled” output from the source files in this article, so the self-contained release package capability of Continuous Delivery Automation Framework (CDAF) is used to produce a portable, re-usable deployment artefact (release.ps1 or release.sh). This package is used to release the entire stack, i.e. Kubernetes, namespaces, networking and application pods.
This is promoted through each environment, using the pipeline, and once deployed to production, the package is published to the artefact store. This provides a feed-back loop, allowing developers and other pipelines (e.g. Kubernetes Containers) to pull this package and run it to create production-like environments on demand.
