Hello @techcobweb, I want to start contributing on this if accepted as a mentee for the LFX mentorship https://mentorship.lfx.linuxfoundation.org/project/2e784e4e-5569-45b8-98b8-4881f4b0e6e2 May I suggest a proposal to a complete CI/CD pipeline if needed?

@techcobweb Hi, I would like to apply for this as a part of Open Mainframe Mentorship. I would be submitting a proposal soon. Thanks.

@techcobweb does this involve building continuous deployment pipeline as well, or just CI and build pipelines ?

[techcobweb]

From memory, we currently deploy an Apache server application in a docker image to allow downloads of the tool, using ArgoCD.

Though if course there may be a more elegant way to share build artifacts between the build utilities project and other projects which need those tools.

Overall, each built project needs to store things in maven, and eventually we deploy a helm chart to refresh the entire server application.

Hey @techcobweb , I've formally submitted my application along with the proposal for this task(through mail as well), since the applications aren't closed yet can I get a proposal review ?
