Agile development methodologies applied pressure on delivery pipelines by introducing smaller, yet more frequent updates. Then came business demand for faster and more frequent releases into production due to competitive pressures and market disruption.

Since Operations are both responsive to interruption and responsible for stability and compliance, they often can’t keep pace with developers. They can’t invite risk, no matter how small, into production environment.

Most application release automation vendors focus on providing continuous delivery capabilities. However, if the definition of continuous delivery is to make production updates available for production deployment, then continuous delivery stops at production’s door. Continuous deployment is the next step, where approved updates are not just made available for production deployments, they can be automatically deployed into production.

Production-proven release automation ensures predictability and compliance for deployments of both production and lower environments. Automic Continuous Delivery Automation enables both continuous delivery and continuous deployment.

The vendor states that users of Automic Continuous Delivery Automation no longer need to maintain custom scripts for deployment, configuration and provisioning.
