Automated Deployments
- Be sure that the application has the Mule Maven Deploy plugin
- Check the following how-to Mule Applications Configurations for CI/CD
- Use Jenkins
- Create a Job per application and per environment
- For the Job Name, follow the same naming convention as the application name defined in Mule Development – Best Practices + the name of the environment
- Configure the Scheduler using cron expressions: e.g. 0 17,21 * * 1-6 (runs every day, Mon – Friday, at 17 and 21 hrs), note that these values are in UTC
- Use the Jenkins OOTB Credentials Vault
- Use snake_case as the naming convention for the Vault properties keys, e.g. db_students_user, db_students_password
- Configure the maven goal
- Include the MUnit directive to execute just unit tests -Dmunit.test=”.*unit-test.xml”
- Configure the MAVEN OPTS based on the specific use case properties and bindings from the Vault
