Application Onboarding Overview
Application Onboarding is a modernized control panel for Developers to enable efficient application onboarding in a hybrid or multi-cloud environments. With Digital.ai Release 23.1, we are bringing in new self-service workflows so that Developers can onboard their applications easier with minimum knowledge of tools. Newly introduced workflows guide users through step-by-step execution of tasks, reducing complexity in setting up environments. Application Onboarding leverages cloud benefits such as scalability, availability, and optimizing applications for the cloud for improved performance and reliability. It also helps ensure adherence to cloud security and compliance best practices.
Connect to Deploy Servers
This topic describes how to connect Release to Deploy servers, enabling seamless integration for deployment automation.
Deploy Plugin
The Deploy plugin for Release allows you to start a control task or to start a deployment of an application on Deploy. It also provides the functionality to trigger undeployment of an application already deployed on Deploy.
Deploy Tasks
The Deploy task provides integration with Deploy, the Application Release Automation solution as part of the DevOps Platform. It is an automated task that triggers the deployment of an application to an environment in Deploy. Both the application and environment must be configured in Deploy. The task provides live updates of the deployment process and completes automatically when the deployment succeeds.

Migrate From Community Deploy Plugin to Standard Plugin in Release
The community xlr-xldeploy-plugin and the officially-supported xlr-xld-plugin can both exist within the same Release instance without any conflicts.
Octopus Deploy Plugin
This topic introduces the Octopus Deploy Plugin for Release, which facilitates integration with Octopus Deploy for managing deployments within release pipelines.
Plan Your Installation or Upgrade
You use the XL CLI's xl kube command to install or upgrade Digital.ai Deploy or Release or Remote Runner. For more information, see XL Kube Command Reference.
Select the Type of OIDC Configuration
Configuring OIDC is one of the steps in installing or upgrading Digital.ai Deploy or Release using the Operator-based installer.
Set up Workflows for Onboarding Applications
Workflows are a combination of tasks that can be executed in an interactive session, with pre-built best practices. Once you have this setup in place, all you would be doing is to select the workflows from the self-service catalog and execute them in step-by-step view to interactively setup applications in Argo CD and Deploy.
Trust an Deploy Server's Certificate
This topics provides information about creating and configuring a truststore, importing certificates, and adjusting Release settings to ensure secure communication with the Deploy server.
View the Live Status of Deployed Applications
Note: Live Status of Deployed Applications is a feature in Tech Preview—released in Digital.ai Release 22.3—enabled by default. You must disable this feature (using the feature flag) if you do not want to use it.
