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.
Argo CD Plugin
This topic describes the tasks available with the Argo CD plugin.
Live Deployments in Release
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.
Onboard Applications using Live Deployments Discovery Wizard
The Live Deployments Discovery wizard allows you to create connections to ArgoCD or your server's Deploy applications. You can use this wizard to discover and onboard applications with ease.
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.
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.
