Live Deployments

The Live Deployments feature enables you to track deployments from various sources and embed them in your release process. Previously, only deployments that were started from a task in the release process were known in Release. You can now listen to deployment events from external tools like Digital.ai Deploy and ArgoCD and view live updates in Release. All the deployment activities are on the same page, whether it comes from cloud-native Kubernetes environments or classic middleware. Additionally, you can make the external deployments part of the release flow, even when they are not orchestrated by Release.

Here's how you set up live deployments for an existing Argo CD server. Use this procedure to expose deployments that are already taking place on the ArgoCD server in Digital.ai Release. To set up a new project in ArgoCD, see Onboard New Deployments.

Here's how you set up live deployments for an existing Digital.ai Deploy server. Use this procedure to expose deployments that are already taking place on the Digital.ai Deploy server in Digital.ai Release. To set up a new project in Deploy, see Onboard New Deployments.

You can delete deployed applications from the Live Deployments dashboard and the target system.

To edit or delete a live deployment configuration:

You can have multiple configurations for the same server. This is useful when reusing a connection between folders, or when listening to multiple unrelated applications and the regex configuration becomes unwieldy.

You can set up new deployments or projects in external deployment providers such as Digital.ai Deploy or Argo CD by using the step-by-step pre-defined automated workflows.

There are certain upgrade considerations if you have Application Pipelines created in Release 24.1 (or earlier) and are now upgrading to Release 24.3.
