An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
On-demand Environments-as-a-Service (or, EaaS) have long been a siren song for dev/test tool vendors, distracting them from rocks upon which many aspiring product marketers have crashed. It always seemed the infrastructure and preferred software delivery methods evolved faster than any vendor’s attempts to deliver a neatly packaged EaaS.
Release (at ReleaseHub.com) might have mapped out a course to get ahead of this moving target by standardizing on Kubernetes orchestration and containerization to navigate the encapsulation of highly distributed microservices environments in a reusable form for engineers.
On any GitHub or Bitbucket pull request, Release spins up Helm charts and Terraform maps, AWS Kinesis streams, serverless functions, obfuscated data, and so on — compiling whatever is needed into a pre-prod or feature branch application environment ready for testing, pre-production, demonstration and training.
The resulting ephemeral environments allow companies to migrate their CI/CD pipelines to cloud-native delivery modes with less configuration expertise and effort.
Environments can also be declared as permanent for longer-running validation and production requirements. Customers can set policies for auto-sleep and decommissioning options to conserve cloud costs.
