From CDEvents to Actions - Designing the Workflow Conductor

Explore the practical implementation of CDEvents specification through Apple's engineering approach to building a Workflow Conductor system in this 19-minute conference talk from the Linux Foundation. Discover how CDEvents can be transformed from specification to actionable workflow management by examining the technical journey from event specification to engineering design. Learn the methodology for translating specific events into actionable steps that enable a Workflow Conductor to effectively manage and coordinate diverse CI/CD tools across software delivery pipelines. Understand how declaration of intent is tracked across different tools while maintaining consistency and auditability throughout the process. Gain insights into the technical architecture and system design principles that can revolutionize software delivery pipeline management, with practical examples and real-world implementation strategies from Apple's development team.
