Accelerated deployment and time-to-market
Zero-touch operation improves accelerated deployment and time-to-market by automating the software release process, reducing manual effort, and enabling faster and more frequent deployments. In this section, we’ll explain how it enhances deployment speed and time-to-market with clear examples, along with the associated risks and effort required for implementation and maintenance. I will also highlight the differences between traditional deployment approaches and the zero-touch approach that’s used in the examples provided.
CI/CD pipelines
Let’s look at this in more detail:
- Traditional approach:
- In the traditional approach, software releases involve manual steps such as building, testing, and deploying code
- Manual intervention and coordination are required to ensure the proper sequence of tasks, resulting in longer deployment cycles and slower time-to-market
- Zero-touch approach:
- With zero-touch operations...
