Connectivity failure solutions for container platforms

A method comprising:

• replicating contents of a continuous integration (CI)/continuous delivery (CD) server at a first and second alternative repository;
• receiving notification of a CI/CD server failure at a container as a service (CaaS) server, the CaaS server in communication with a core network;
• triggering a failure remediation system at the CaaS server in response to the received notification, the failure remediation system performing operations including:
• accessing the first alternative repository including a local proxy cache on the CaaS server in response to a request for a service, the local proxy cache stored in a local repository at the CaaS server, the local repository providing dedicated storage for the local proxy cache, wherein the local proxy cache is created through real time duplication of selected contents of the CI/CD tool server;
• finding the local proxy cache on the CaaS server is unavailable;
• accessing by the CaaS server the second alternative repository created through real time replication of contents of the CI/CD tool server upon finding the local proxy cache is unavailable, wherein the second alternative repository is a geo-redundant server in a remote location;
• and
• listening, at the failure remediation system for a readiness indicator from the CI/CD tool server while accessing the second alternative repository.

A system comprising:

• a container as a service (CaaS) server in communication with a core network and a continuous integration (CI)/continuous delivery (CD) tool server;
• at least two alternative repositories including a local proxy cache on the CaaS server and a geo-redundant server in an alternative remote location from the CaaS server, the local proxy cache stored in a local repository at the CaaS server, the local repository providing dedicated storage for the local proxy cache, wherein the local proxy cache is created through real time duplication of selected contents of the CI/CD tool server;
• and
• a failure remediation processor co-located with the CaaS server and triggered to instruct the CaaS server responsive to detecting a connectivity failure between the CaaS server and the CI/CD tool server, wherein the failure remediation processor instructs the CaaS server to access one of the two alternative repositories upon detection of the connectivity failure, wherein the failure remediation processor triggers the CaaS server to access the local proxy cache prior to accessing the geo-redundant server, and wherein the failure remediation processor listens for a readiness indicator from the CI/CD tool server while accessing one of the two alternative repositories.
