| Abstract | This thesis introduces CI4TOSCA, a framework that extends the TOSCA standard with a declarative build stage to unify the generation of deployment artifacts for cloud applications. CI4TOSCA transforms service templates into executable pipelines for Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI and works with storage backends such as Artifactory and MinIO. The open-source prototype was evaluated across five artifact types and three CI/CD platforms. Compared to manual configurations, CI4TOSCA reduced the number of needed configuration files by over 80% and configuration lines by over 40%. The framework reduces manual effort, and supports vendor-independent, model-driven deployment workflows.
