Releaseops

If you created a deployment request and associated it with only a pipeline, you must add a release to enable the deployment request to move to production.

If you want to attach multiple update sets to a deployment request, you can attach an update set to an existing deployment request on the Deploy an update set form.

Starting with version 1.2.1 of ReleaseOps, guided setup helps to make the initial configuration of ReleaseOps easier. Follow the steps in guided setup to begin using ReleaseOps quickly.

Manage the multi-instance configurations to enable access across instances in your ReleaseOps ecosystem.

Complete ReleaseOps manual setup to configure a new ReleaseOps ecosystem using the sample pipelines and playbooks.

Configure the release lifecycle documentation AI agent to start automating your app governance tasks.

Configure ReleaseOps to move changes from development to testing to production.

Create a deployment request for changes that will deployed with an on-demand release.

Create a deployment request for a scheduled release to contain your update set and enable your changes to move through the pipeline for deployment.

Specify the details for your release, including the target instance that the changes will be deployed to and when the release should occur.

Create a custom pipeline to move changes from your development environment to production (or your target instance) by duplicating one of the ReleaseOps sample playbooks.

Create a runbook task to pause deployment and define the steps required to proceed.

The deployment analyzer contains five rules that are included by default with ReleaseOps.

The deployment analyzer reviews the update set in your release against rules to verify compliance with customizable rules.

Create a deployment request for the update sets to be deployed to target instances.

A deployment request might be in one of several different states during the release process.

Deployment requests contain one or more update sets. They are attached to a release, which runs through a pipeline to a destination environment.

Before getting started with ReleaseOps, it's important to understand some key concepts used in the application.

A release might be in one of several different states during the release process.

ReleaseOps automates deployment of changes across your pipeline, increases predictability and reliability of deployments, and reduces the risk of releasing changes to production.

A pipeline is the flow of a deployment in ReleaseOps. A pipeline's flow is defined within playbooks, which enables you to customize as needed.

Review information about deployment and release states.

Scheduled and on-demand releases are how changes are deployed to target instances with ReleaseOps. Releases can contain one or more deployment requests.

Learn about how runbook tasks enable flexibility in ReleaseOps deployments, without needing to customize playbooks each time.
