NewgenONE Digest: All you need to know about Deployment Admin

What is Deployment Admin?

Deployment Admin is a comprehensive platform that facilitates the entire DevOps lifecycle, from planning to deployment and monitoring. The platform is designed to provide a seamless integration of development and operations, ensuring that you can develop and release high-quality applications faster than ever before. It provides a unified view of the entire software development process, enabling teams to collaborate and communicate effectively.

Why do we need a Deployment Admin?

Deployment Admin enables organizations to bring agility, speed, and efficiency to their software development processes. It also enables faster deployments, improved software quality, and increased deployment frequency. It enables faster development and easier maintenance of deployments while maximizing efficiency through automation.

Adopting DevOps practices supported by the right tools is essential for any software organization aiming to stay competitive and innovative in a rapidly evolving industry.

What to look for in Deployment Admin?

An ideal deployment admin must be able to do the following:

• Automate the deployment processes to reduce manual intervention and human error
• Manage and configure multiple environments such as development, testing, staging, and production
• Integrate with existing tools, such as GitHub, SVN, Jenkins and GitLab
• Ensure that all deployment configurations are version-controlled, enabling rollback to previous configurations if needed
• Restrict unauthorized deployment, ensuring that only authorized users can execute changes
• Securely manage secrets like API keys, passwords, and tokens using vaults and tokens
• Create comprehensive logs that track every deployment detail, which is crucial for troubleshooting and auditing purposes
• Make it easy for users to manage deployments, view statuses, and intervene manually, when necessary, through an intuitive interface
