Business Challenges

The cloud is pushing the needs of Dev-Ops for quicker and more efficient application

delivery and automated Release Management. The challenge with current, often

manual scripted processes is costly. They need to overcome deployment bottlenecks,

speed the update/patch process and avoid error driven disruptions.

Release management process is often performed manually raising the likelihood of

error-driven disruptions , deployment bottlenecks and leaving a gap between

Development and IT Operation teams.

Server environments vary between Development, QA, Staging, and Production, and

these differences often cause problems when applications are promoted between them.

Validata SAS Release Coordinator enables IT organizations to automate the process of

application updates, resulting in shortened release cycles, application configuration alignment,

and automated updates across groups.

Users can ensure that server and application configurations are consistent across environments

by tracking application compliance in each environment against a distributed application policy

model.

All deployment actions can be authorized based on user roles, ensuring appropriate levels of

user access. If necessary, deployments can be rolled back easily. Deployment of applications

themselves can also be automated, even for deployments that consist of complex, multi-tier

changes, such as sequenced updates of web, application, and database servers.

The net result of these capabilities is shortened release cycles, enabling organizations to achieve

faster time-to-market.

Central Repository

Capability to easily specify the tasks that are going to be implemented in a new release system and the dates for new release deployments.

Automatic execution of package deployment across multiple environments

Easy and fast tracking of application compliance in each environment against a distributed release application policy model.

Full history and audit trail of new release deployments

Full management of all release deployments s enabled through a central repository

Environment-specific Transaction Safe Deployments: Pre-screening for any potential errors in any environment prior to committing changes, and rollback of changes upon failure or at user request

Promotion rules for package deployment across environments and teams

Access control for administrators based on role, environment, package or their properties

Packaging and Automation updates integrated to environments

Configuration control across pre-production and production environments

Defining properties and interdependencies for complex applications and environments

Integrated Alerting mechanism with automated email notifications upon predefined system event

Schedule the Release Planning and reporting for all Tasks statuses supporting multiple teams and locations

Impact analysis reporting of the unfinished and uncovered software development requirements

In our days the main Base code development gets implemented at the main development site or it is out sourced to the vendor. When ready and tested, gets shared and delivered at the business sites where now it has to be combined with the local developments, get tested and communicate with several interfaces.

Remote Release Management Capabilities

Fully automated Deployment (records, data, objects, versions)Role BasedIntegrity of the Build Pre-screening for any potential errors in any environmentRollback of changes upon failure or at user request Multiple Catalogues support (Multiple Versions )Independent staging area

BenefitsReduce Deployment errorsReduce defects and improve consistency in packages across environments Accuracy during package development, promotion, and deployment across environments. Reduced deployment costs through increased effectiveness and accuracy Reduce downtime by ensuring consistency in configurations across multiple environments .Lower downtime costs through the ability to back out changes on demand or upon failures in any environment.

Deploy for unit testing on

development environment

Rollback in case of issue

Repeat the process until issue solved

Create a BUILD.CONTROL

(BCON) deployment

package for all the developments

BCON Deploy to QA environment for

System Integration Testing (SIT)/ User Acceptance Testing

(UAT)

Comparison between development and

SIT/UAT environments is highly

recommended to confirm that content of BCON packages is deployed correctly.

Log the issues - no rollback here on QA!

Refresh QA environments

and deploy the fixed packs!

Another pass of testing - Repeat

#7 and #8 if needed.

Deploy on preproduction through Build

Control

Compare SIT/UAT and preproduction environments to

confirm that content is deployed

correctly.

Deploy to live and Compare with preproduction

environment to confirm that

deployment is complete and correct
