Intelligent Deployments For Azure DevOps
OpsMx Intelligent Software Delivery (ISD) enhances Azure DevOps by eliminating its limitations, enabling enterprises to optimize continuous delivery. With powerful orchestration, ISD boosts build and deployment automation, collaboration, and tracking, offering key capabilities that extend beyond Azure’s native features.
Capabilities
OpsMx ISD compliments Azure DevOps and co-exists with it to address some of the limitations around scalability and ease of use, and brings significant automation and intelligence to the deployments triggered by Azure DevOps. Some of these value additions include but are not restricted to the following.
Security, Governance & Compliance
ISD offers the ability to insert intelligence gates that leverage static business rule definitions or data driven policy enforcements to help enterprises achieve release autonomy, automate compliance as well as apply security checks at each stage (pipeline, code, and infra). Examples: Release software only when there are no P1 or P2 open, Deploy only when static code analysis has passed, etc.
Continuous Verification
ISD enables enterprises to automate decision making with highest confidence by offering intelligence on tests or deployments leveraging system, application, DB, business-level metrics and logs. ISD analyzes the stats, comparing it with the baseline to determine the verification score used to automate go or no-go decisions. It also analyzes logs out-of-the-box.
Ease of Use & Unified Dashboards
ISD offers a no-code, intuitive UI with self-service features for developers. Dashboards provide actionable insights and performance metrics, highlighting areas for improvement. With easy integrations and minimal learning curve, it enables quick setup of production-ready pipelines and deployments
Visibility, Audit & Supply Chain
ISD integrates data from your DevOps tools to automate approval stages, verifications, or rollbacks. It offers audit dashboards and compliance reports for enterprises to stay audit-ready. The platform’s interoperability with Azure pipelines provides centralized visibility and status monitoring through a unified OpsMx dashboard.
No-Code Hybrid-Cloud Deployments
ISD enables hybrid-cloud deployments without the need for custom scripts. With integrations for platforms like OpenStack, OpenShift, AWS, GCP, and Azure, it supports deployments on various infrastructures—bare metal, container, VM, and serverless—using pre-configured templates. This eliminates the need to write any code, simplifying the deployment process across clouds.
Advanced Deployment Strategies
ISD offers out-of-the-box cloud-native deployment strategies, including canary, red/black, and rolling deployments. It manages orchestration tasks such as verifying health checks, enabling new server groups, and disabling old ones, allowing for seamless and efficient application rollouts with minimal configuration.
AI-powered Automated Pipelines
ISD offers pipeline or workflow constructs used for deployments of applications and for managing cloud resources. One gets the flexibility to add pre-defined stages like Bake, Find Image, Deploy, Disable/Enable/Resize a server group to perform a series of deployment operations automatically. The intelligence gates within an end-to-end orchestration enables enterprises to automate code-to-cloud deployments without any human intervention.
Smart GitOps
ISD enables out-of-the-box GitOps styles declarative deployments for Kubernetes or multi-destination deployments. The intelligence gates allow enterprises to drive the GitOps allowing flexibility in the process yet having tight control, visibility and insights into end-to-end workflow.
Safeguards for Deployment
ISD offers various safeguards types to ensure a new software version can be added and removed safely. From verification of a new release to one-click rollback, if issues are encountered during deployment, to cluster locking for maintaining exclusivity on resources during deployment, you get it all.
Infrastructure Health Check
ISD provides the ability to fetch insights into the health of your application instances, containers, load balancers or firewalls with the ability to kill the offending resource from the dashboard itself instead of rolling back or killing the entire deployment.
