You are using the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) DevOps service and you have successfully built...

Step 1: Understanding the Requirement

The objective is to store the resulting build output from a Build Pipeline in acontainer repository. In OCI DevOps, the build output is stored as anartifact, which can include Docker images or other build-generated files. To store these artifacts in a container repository, you need to explicitlydeliver artifactsin the pipeline.

Step 2: Explanation of the Options

A. Trigger deployment

This stage is used to trigger adeployment pipeline, which comes after the artifacts are already stored and prepared for deployment.

Not applicable: This stage is downstream of storing artifacts and is used for deploying software, not for saving the build output to a repository.

B. Managed build

The managed build stage is where youcompile, test, and package the application. This has already been completed successfully according to the question.

Not applicable: The question specifies that the build has been completed, so this stage is not relevant at this point.

C. Deliver artifacts

TheDeliver Artifactsstage in OCI DevOps pipelines is designed tostore the output of the build process in an artifact repository, such as:

OCI Container Registry (OCIR)for Docker images.

Artifact Registryfor build artifacts like binaries or JAR files.

Applicable and Correct Answer: This is the correct next step for storing the resulting output of a build pipeline.

D. Export packages

This is not a standard OCI DevOps pipeline stage. It may be relevant in other contexts but is not related to OCI DevOps for storing build artifacts.

Step 3: Key Concepts of "Deliver Artifacts" in OCI DevOps

Purpose: Save build outputs (artifacts) to an artifact repository.

Artifact Types: Includes Docker container images, binaries, JAR files, or other build outputs.

Repositories Supported:

OCI Container Registry (OCIR)

OCI Artifact Registry

Configuration:

Specify the artifact source (build stage output).

Define the destination repository (e.g., OCIR).
