In this video, I step back and design the foundational architecture before building the CI/CD pipeline. No buzzwords, no skipping steps just a clear breakdown of the core systems that need to exist first and why they matter.This is the groundwork for the CI side of the pipeline: compute, storage, version control, networking, infrastructure as code, security, and monitoring all built with automation in mind.
