Deklarativní deployment analytických aplikací v GCP

This master's thesis is dedicated to the domain of declarative deployment in the context of Google Cloud Platform and Python applications. The centerpiece of the thesis is the Terraform software, utilizing Infrastructure as Code principles for state management of the target environment. The main goal of the thesis is to design and showcase an end-to-end deployment procedure built as a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline. An iterative and systematic decomposition of key factors affecting architectural decisions, and by extension the final design, is provided therein. Based on the synthesis combining known best practices, published cloud infrastructure implementation projects, and underlying technology documentation, the thesis proposes a CI/CD model combining IaC infrastructure management with modular application layer handling. The pipeline design reflects various implementation recommendations, including, but not limited to Workload Identity Federation or integration of security static analysis as a core integration testing tenet. The result of the thesis is a validated self-hosted deployment model, which can be applied to architecturally similar projects.
