Deploy

Deploy is the action of pushing the software to the production environment where it becomes accessible to users.

Deployment Strategies​

Modern deployment focuses on minimizing downtime and risk.

  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Managing infrastructure through code rather than manual processes.
  • Blue/Green Deployment: Running two identical environments; one is live (Blue), the other (Green) is where you deploy the new version.
  • Canary Analysis: Rolling out the change to a small subset of users first.
  • Orchestration: Managing the lifecycle of containers (e.g., Kubernetes).

Key Deliverables​

  • Live Production System
  • Configuration Scripts (IaC)
How AI Can Help: Deployment

AI optimizes the complex logistics of deployment:

  • Smart Infrastructure: AI generates and optimizes IaC scripts for tools like Terraform and Pulumi, ensuring secure cloud configurations.
  • Continuous Deployment: AI-powered CI/CD tools (like CircleCI) optimize deployment windows and predict potential failures.
  • Risk Assessment: Tools like Harness perform intelligent verification, analyzing post-deployment behavior to suggest automatic rollbacks if anomalies are detected.
