Integrate DevOps Release Automation with Cloud and Container Management
Pushing code into Git and continuously building web applications with Jenkins are only the first steps toward a streamlined development workflow and agile delivery. Canary, Blue/Green, feature flag, and rolling update release strategies help teams deploy with confidence and zero downtime. Cloud Container platforms (Kubernetes, Docker Data Center, AWS ECS) provide automated workload scheduling and release capabilities. By automated environment provisioning with Terraform or AWS OpsWorks, teams can rapidly spin-up and tear-down Dev, Test, and production environments. Chris shares pragmatic examples showing how clients navigated the transition from static Cloud to dynamic, container-driven solutions, and how they integrated DevOps release automation into their delivery process.
