CD/RO: Argo Rollouts

CloudBees CD/RO recently introduced an integration with Argo Rollouts, allowing customers to progressively deliver kubernetes-based applications using blue green and canary deployment strategies. As a result, teams can confidently release features faster while reducing risks, using their existing tools. CloudBees elevates Argo Rollouts through our release orchestration capabilities, which allows us to:

  • Provide real-time visibility into the phased rollout through environment inventory.

  • Traceability into the audit trail–both for promotion and rollback- to adhere to governance

  • Flexibility in tool choiceOpen ecosystem to enable teams to continue using their preferred tooling (flexibility)

  • Enhanced user experience by directly surface rollout manual activities within CD/RO to avoid context switching

CD/RO: Third-Party Deployer

CloudBees CD/RO provides native capabilities to deploy traditional multi-tier and modern container-based applications.  These deployments are enhanced by our release orchestration capabilities  to provide automated repeatability, process visibility, environment inventory, and analytics. As a result,  there are tremendous benefits in using CloudBees CD/RO for both  CD and RO related tasks. 

However, not all enterprises can standardize on a single deployment solution.  Thus, we strive to support platform engineering teams who are looking to ensure governance standards, while also supporting tool choice across the teams they support.  

Introducing third-party deployer, a recent feature which brings the power of CloudBees CD/RO to all deployment solutions. Whether it’s Ansible Tower, Argo CD, Jenkins, Spinnaker, Octopus Deploy, or another solution, we can support this with enterprise-grade release orchestration benefits.
