Application Release Automation Challenges
Current Deployment process challenges include:
▪ Bottlenecks
▪ Failed Deployments
▪ Configuration Drift
▪ Manual-intensive and error-prone
▪ Mix of manual and automated activities
▪ No Visibility
Releases are:
▪ Unpredictable and error-prone
▪ Prone to “unpleasant surprises”
▪ Nobody knows what’s going on, what’s coming next or whether we’re going to make it in time
or not!
