Abstract
Fast and efficient development of software drives the high demand for automation techniques, especially for cloud-based systems trying to implement Software Defined Systems (SDS). The emergence of Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) provides a set of steps for building, testing, and deployment of new software in an automated fashion. Consequently, many companies integrate CI/CD pipelines into their platform to automate the development and deployment of new software and applications. Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) is a new approach to cyber security proposed by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) to dynamically secure network services. This is reached utilizing the need-to-know concept where authorization is only granted after strict user verification. SDP framework integrates with cloud-based systems seamlessly. However, the installation, configurations, and management of its components are still manual. This will require a lot of time and resources as the number of protected services increases. Therefore, this paper presents the implementation of the Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline for the open SDP project that automates the installation and deployment of its various components. Specifically, the Open SDP components (i.e., SDP controller and gateway) will be used as a use case to show the use of CI/CD and to secure applications hosted on the OpenShift environment. The OpenShift pipeline operator, based on the Tekton project was adopted as the CI/CD pipeline for this project. The Code Ready Container (CRC) was utilized as the OpenShift cluster, which is then hosted on a server running a Windows OS. Furthermore, the challenges, as well as their solutions to the Open SDP CI/CD pipeline, are presented.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
