Automating 80,000 CI/CD Pipeline Migrations.
InfoMagnus built a self-serve automation solution allowing a global technology and semiconductor company’s teams to independently migrate over 80,000 Jenkins CI/CD pipelines to GitHub Actions without centralized team intervention.
Automating CI/CD Pipeline Migrations to GitHub Actions for a Global Semiconductor Company.
A global technology and semiconductor company engaged InfoMagnus for Technical Advisory Services (TAS) and to extend migration operations. The primary objective was to automate the migration of CI/CD pipelines from Jenkins — a task that required both technical acumen and strategic planning.
Scaling CI/CD Pipeline Migrations Without Centralized Team Bottlenecks.
The organization sought a scalable solution that would allow individual teams to request migrations of their CI/CD pipelines from Jenkins without requiring centralized intervention. The challenge was significant, given the sheer volume — over 80,000 pipelines — that needed to be migrated.
Automating Large-Scale CI/CD Migrations Through GitHub-Native Workflows.
InfoMagnus devised an innovative strategy to meet these needs. Utilizing Action-Importer for centralized, automated migration of CI/CD pipelines, InfoMagnus created a separate solution that manipulated the Action-Importer, enabling satellite repositories to execute workflows for both source and target CI/CD pipelines. The technology stack employed IssueOps and GitHub Actions to achieve this automation.
Outcomes.
The engagement led to a cutting-edge solution that allowed individuals with limited knowledge and authorization to complete migrations without the direct involvement of a centralized team. This significantly reduced the workload on the centralized migration team, freeing them from the formidable task of migrating over 80,000 pipelines.
Future Outlook.
The successful completion of this project has opened discussions for additional training and TAS engagements, as well as potential teams to assist with future migrations. This engagement serves as a testament to InfoMagnus’ capabilities in delivering complex, large-scale solutions — reinforcing its position as a leader in Technical Advisory Services and migration operations.
