Release Application Deployment Maturity
The Release Application Deployment Maturity dashboard provides a snapshot view of your application maturity in terms of how mature an application deployment is of Digital.ai Release. This dashboard provides an overview of the current month's application growth from the deployment point of view. You can compare the annual growth percentage of applications and the associated deployments and environments. The dashboard data is fetched based on parameters such as application added, applications deployment activity, applications maturity in terms of deployment in production, and application maturity when the application is deployed in multiple environments.
Using this dashboard, the Platform Engineering or DevOps Manager can monitor and analyze the following business scenario:
- Examine the application maturity in terms of deployment over the last thirteen months or thirteen weeks of data?
- Identify the issues or delays related to the application deployment process and provide support to resolve them?
- Success rate of application deployment processes.
- Actual and average growth in application deployment.
The Release Application Deployment Maturity dashboard is built using the Release last refresh datetime, Release application maturity new applications, Release application maturity task type deployment, and Release Security Dataset datasets.
The Release Application Deployment Maturity panel consists of the following sections:
- KPIs: By default, the KPIs listed on this dashboard show the value for the current month. The following KPIs are driving the sections in the monthly and weekly panels:
- Applications Used: The total number of Applications on-boarded.
- Applications More Than 1 Deployment: The number of applications with deployments associated to more than one environment type.
- Applications More Than 2 Environments: The number of applications with deployments associated to more than two different environment types.
- Applications with PROD deployment: The number of applications where the deployments are associated with the production environment.
- Applications with Failure Rate > Ideal: The count of applications where the deployment failure rate is greater than a defined acceptable target failure rate.
- Monthly Panel: The information on this Monthly panel covers the last 13 months data. Using this panel, you can drill down into the Monthly KPIs and the associated release details.
- Weekly Panel: The Weekly panel provides the data of the last 13 weeks. Using this panel, you can drill down into the Weekly values and the associated release details.
