Progressive Delivery with Digital.ai Release—Argo Rollouts Integration
The objective is to integrate Digital.ai Release with Argo Rollouts so that you can carry out Blue-Green and Canary deployments of applications using Digital.ai Release and Argo Rollouts.
Digital.ai Release's Argo Rollouts plugin supports the following roll-out strategies:
- Blue-Green
- Canary
Once you have this integration in place, all you would be doing is starting a new release—Canary or Blue-Green—whenever you have a new image to deploy.

Release Maintenance Mode
With Digital.ai Release 22.3, you can now launch Release in a special mode called the Maintenance mode. The primary use is to start Release in maintenance mode for post-upgrade smoke testing and clean-up activities.
Note:
- You cannot push an already running Release into maintenance mode.
- You can put Release in maintenance mode on JVM-based setup only. It is not available with Operator-based setup.
For more information, see Maintenance Mode.
Restart Phase Failure Handler
With Digital.ai Release 22.3, the Restart phase drop-down option is added in Failure Handler to restart the latest version of the current phase.
If the task fails, phase will be restarted based on the latest version of the current phase and release will be automatically resumed.
Display Warning for Entity Deletion
With Digital.ai Release 22.3, a warning dialog box is displayed to indicate reference templates and releases when deleting shared connections.
Live Update of DB Credentials
