CI/CD pipeline solutions are receiving widespread adoption in order to speed up the delivery of web applications while at the same time being able to scale, secure, and optimize them. This study delves into the optimization of CI/CD pipelines in cloud systems, with a particular emphasis on AWS and Azure provided by Microsoft. The study, titled Testing and Optimizing Web Applications with Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment in Cloud Environments, evaluates the performance of CI/CD pipelines using AWS Code Pipeline and Azure Pipelines, along with Terraform and Kubernetes for infrastructure management. By conducting a series of tests across three scenarios, including CI-only and CI+CD pipelines, the research compares deployment speeds, resource utilisation, and scalability under varying conditions. Selenium for browser testing, Jenkins for automation, and GitLab CI/CD for pipeline management are used for evaluating effectiveness, and effectiveness of the pipelines. The study can prove useful in establishing the features that differentiate between AWS and Azure specifically regarding the speeds of deploying their resources and scalability.
