An Intellyx BrainCandy Brief
OpsMx takes a two-pronged approach to easing cloud-native delivery constraints, supporting an enterprise edition of the Spinnaker open source deployment automation platform, alongside an automated software verification service that intelligently identifies risks flowing through most commonly used pipeline tools.
The dream of automating everything that happens — from the time developers check new code into a repository — to when IT Ops teams start monitoring production systems — is inevitably interrupted by necessary human intervention.
Successful release automation is especially difficult to maintain for cloud-native environments at web scale, as application workloads are rapidly deployed onto constantly changing, ephemeral architectures. Someone always needs to step in to audit changes and triage defects.
OpsMx offers Cloud-native release automation capabilities through the widely-adopted Spinnaker platform, which they have tuned for highly scalable, multi-cloud, Kubernetes-targeted deployments.
Some customers may still opt to ‘go it alone’ and self-manage Spinnaker, or use their existing CI/CD and observability tools of choice. What’s cool in any scenario is their Autopilot platform, which has been trained to continuously verify software updates in the CD pipeline, scanning telemetry data for anomalies and automatically alerting platforms and teams to emerging risks, and triggering rollbacks if needed.
With automated passing grades, even a firehose-strength cloud-native software pipeline can safely flow past stage gates to production with as little human intervention as systematically possible.
