Companies have seen tremendous benefits from their early Continuous Delivery (CD) initiatives. Activities such as continuous integration, deployment automation, and automated tests have all contributed to faster release cycles, higher quality releases and much greater DevOps efficiency. As enterprises look to continue to improve their release pipelines and keep up with ever-increasing business demands, release pipeline orchestration becomes essential for successful CD. You'll also learn: What release pipeline orchestration is, and why it is essential for successful CD How to bring intelligence, automation, visibility and control to your release pipelines Key release orchestration requirements needed to implement CD at enterprise scale How to complement your current investment in Jenkins CI with XebiaLabs to accomplish true enterprise CD

A chaotic release process
▪ Copious spreadsheets, Word docs and emails, often
with everyone working from different versions
▪ Daily status meetings, often early in the morning
▪ Frenzied phone calls to get the latest status and
track down issues
▪ No visibility across the business
▪ No good way to capture changes for audit purposes

▪ Orchestrate
▪ Automate
▪ Manage
▪ Capture metrics and logs
▪ Give real-time status
▪ Show problems in early stages so you can fix them
What, exactly, is Release Orchestration?

Use existing tools? CI Provisioning
1. Scrip4ng doesn’t scale and is difficult to
maintain
2. Repurposed technical tools lack
visualiza4on, intelligence and repor4ng
capabili4es
3. Technical tools don’t work across the
business
4. Typically lack enterprise-level
compliance and security features

Jenkins is great for CI
A CI Server automates tasks to verify that
each developer’s code check-in doesn’t
break something else in the project.
• running builds
• invoking tests
• triggering deployment automa4on tools
• and many other developer-centric
ac4vi4es
Jenkins is great for CI.

Summary
1. Continuous Delivery
Doesn’t Scale
Without Release
Orchestration
2. XL Release for
Release
Orchestration works
beautifully with
Jenkins for CI
▪ Enterprises that implement release
orchestration often reduce the time to
release software from months down to
days, or even hours.
▪ They frequently release software 10-20X
more quickly just a few months after
implementing release orchestration.
▪ Software quality improves dramatically,
with enterprises moving from multiple
production incidents with every release
down to only a few incidents a year
