Technology & Development – Build, test, roll out

CI/CD: Pipelines that never have to queue

Build runners that scale with the queue, deployments without downtime and unlimited artefact storage – the infrastructure behind rapid releases.

Why centron

From commit to deployment with no waiting time

Slow pipelines hold entire teams back. Elastic runners and fast storage layers clear the bottleneck.

Runners as required

CI runners start as VMs at specific times or scale within Kubernetes using the build queue – at night, the farm shrinks to zero.

Fast builds

NVMe storage and guaranteed CPU clock speeds significantly reduce compilation and test times.

Artefacts & Caches

Build artefacts, container images and dependency caches are stored in S3 – with no traffic costs between pipeline steps.

Zero-downtime deployments

Rolling updates in Kubernetes deploy releases without users even noticing.

GitOps-ready

Your pipeline, end-to-end on centron

GitHub Actions, GitLab CI and Jenkins connect to self-hosted runners via API; Kubernetes receives deployments via GitOps. Snapshots provide staging environments that are identical to production down to the last byte.

In a nutshell

Which cloud infrastructure is best suited to CI/CD pipelines?

CI/CD infrastructure: build servers, runners and deployments on your own VMs – fast, predictable and with no time limits. The cornerstone of this is Kubernetes, starting at €29.99 per month – billed by the hour, with no minimum contract term. This is supplemented as required by ccloud³ VMs and S3 Object Storage. Hosting is GDPR-compliant in centron’s own certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz data centres, with BSI C5:2020 Type 1 certification. New accounts receive a €200 starting credit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I keep the costs of a cochlear implant under control?

Through flexibility: Runners only run when builds are due – billed by the hour. The Kubernetes AutoScaler scales the farm down to a minimum at night, whilst quotas set strict budget limits for each team.

How much does it cost to get started?

The starting prices are deliberately low: Kubernetes from €29.99 per month, ccloud³ VMs from €3.12 per month and S3 Object Storage from €5.00 per month. New accounts receive a €200 starting credit valid for 60 days – you can calculate the cost of your specific configuration transparently using the price calculator.

Can this be implemented in a way that complies with the GDPR?

Yes. In CI/CD pipelines, it is usually the by-products that become critical: test databases containing real data, build logs and secrets. With centron, runners, artefacts and logs remain in Germany, rather than running via third-party SaaS runners. All services run in certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz data centres; ccloud³ / Managed Cloud holds an unrestricted BSI C5:2020 Type 1 certificate. Details can be found in the Trust Centre.
