Hey everyone! I've been digging into Docker and Kubernetes on my Linux laptop using kind, and I've got a grasp on the basics. However, I'm really struggling to visualize what a production CI/CD pipeline looks like. Could someone walk me through how their pipeline operates in a real-world setting, including the various components involved? Any insights would really help me understand this better. Thanks a lot!

CI/CD in production can indeed be complex, but here’s a high-level overview of the steps involved: you typically start with linting your code, followed by running tests (both unit and integration tests). Then, make sure to include security checks like vulnerability scans or static and dynamic analysis. Next, you’ll need to build your artifacts, which often involves compiling the code or running a `docker build`. Finally, you deploy your artifacts. Keep in mind this is just a basic outline!
I’m specifically looking for details on Kubernetes deployments. Can you list the tools commonly used at each stage of a production pipeline and how they interconnect? I’d love to see a basic example!
