  What is ApplicationRelease Automation? “Application Release Automation is the process of automating the application release lifecycle, from build to production, to achieve better resource utilization and speed to market for applications” DevOps is an emerging methodology that can have an impact on the release and deployment process. An application release automation tool can be a key enabler for the rapid realization of benefits of this nonprescriptive approach. Ronnie Colville - Senior Analyst

  6 Ways toSupport your DevOps Strategy • Continuous³ - delivery, testing, deployment • Improve business visibility • Increase shared ownership • Increase service quality and reliability • Accelerate feature time-to-market • Empower the Team 6
• 14.
  Continuous³ • More testing,more quality • Incremental improvement over big bang • Continuous delivery: always have a release package available • Continuous testing: always have a release package with a known quality level • Continuous release: automatically make verified features available to customers • Automatically deliver business value!
• 15.
  Improve business visibility •What is running where? • At what stage in the release lifecycle is my business service? • Which conditions have been/still need to be met? • What is my success rate for service releases? • Am I improving service turnaround time and release quality?
• 16.
  Increase service qualityand reliability • Increased reproducibility through automated application and environment configuration management • Reduce failure rate for environment promotions • Ensure test environments match production • Use one standardized deployment process across all environments
• 17.
  Increase shared ownership •Single interaction point for developers and operations • Improved collaboration through joint insight • Shared responsibilities (e.g. application artifacts vs. configuration) backed by role-based access control • Stepwise transition from split application vs. configuration to automated packaging of entire application/(virtual) applicance
• 18.
  Accelerate feature time-to-market •Speed up releases through delta deployments • Similar to incremental builds • Automatically adjust to environment changes (auto-scaling, new versions etc.) • Integration with build, release etc. tooling for continuous toolchain
• 19.
  Empower the Team •“Self-service” model • Same process across environments and technologies • No reliance on scarce specialists • Everyone in the Team can deploy if required • Shared ownership, shared responsibility • “Become enabler of change”
