Continuous Delivery in 01Cloud automates the deployment process, ensuring that code changes are efficiently and reliably pushed to production. Integration with Flagger enables the adoption of progressive delivery strategies, further enhancing the reliability and flexibility of deployment workflows. Overall, CD in 01Cloud streamlines the release cycle, improves deployment reliability, and enables the rapid delivery of high-quality software to end-users.
1. Automated Deployment:
CD in 01Cloud automates the deployment process, ensuring that code changes are seamlessly pushed to testing, staging, or production environments without manual intervention.
- Build Artifacts: After the build stage is completed (as part of Continuous Integration), CD automatically deploys deployment-ready build artifacts to designated environments.
2. Progressive Delivery with Flagger:
-
Flagger Integration: 01Cloud offers integration with Flagger, a progressive delivery tool, to automate the promotion of canary deployments, A/B testing, and blue-green deployments.
-
Deployment Strategies: Flagger allows users to define deployment strategies, such as canary deployments, where new versions are gradually rolled out to a subset of users for testing before full deployment.
3. Automated Revisions:
-
Update Triggers: Changes to the configuration of Pods or the underlying container images trigger updates to the deployment resource in 01Cloud.
-
New Revisions: CD automatically creates new revisions of the deployment process in response to updates, ensuring that the application remains available and responsive to users during the deployment process.
Benefits of CD in 01Cloud:
-
Efficiency: Automated deployment processes streamline the release cycle, reducing manual intervention and accelerating time-to-market.
-
Reliability: CD ensures that deployment-ready artifacts are thoroughly tested before being promoted to production, enhancing the reliability of software releases.
-
Flexibility: Integration with Flagger enables the implementation of advanced deployment strategies, such as canary deployments and A/B testing, to validate changes before full rollout.
-
Scalability: CD in 01Cloud scales seamlessly to accommodate changes in workload and user demand, ensuring that applications remain available and responsive under varying conditions.
