Considerations for deployment to stages

When you have a clear view of the different stages you'll deploy, you need to think about when you want to deploy to these stages. Continuous Delivery is about deploying multiple times a day and can deploy on-demand.

When we define our cadence, questions that we should ask ourselves are:

  • Do we want to deploy our application?
  • Do we want to deploy multiple times a day?
  • Can we deploy to a stage? Is it used?

A typical scenario we often see is continuous deployment during the development stage.

Every new change ends up there once it's completed and builds.

Deploying to the next phase doesn't always occur multiple times but only at night.

When designing your release strategy, choose your triggers carefully and consider the required release cadence.

Some things we need to take into consideration are:

  • What is your target environment?
  • Does one team use it, or do multiple teams use it?
    • If a single team uses it, you can deploy it frequently. Otherwise, it would be best if you were a bit more careful.
  • Who are the users? Do they want a new version multiple times a day?
  • How long does it take to deploy?
  • Is there downtime? What happens to performance? Are users affected?

fastboot device not deleted in Windows 10? Here is the fix

I was cleaning my closet and found my HTC Incredible S (which I had bought in 2011). I gave the phone some juice for few hours and booted it, surprisingly it was working :) I thought about rooting it and flashing with new rom in market. I searched xda fourm and found this  (Cynogen 13 based Rom for Incredible S). I started to flash it. but, my bootloader was still locked. I went to HTCDev to unlock the bootloader. but Fastboot was not able to detect my phone. After 3 hrs of internet searching I found this simple fix. I think this can work with all the android phones. you need to create a registry entry (below) and reboot the system(PC). [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\0BB40FF00100] "SkipBOSDescriptorQuery"=hex:01,00,00,00 after the registry fix, it worked liked a charm. Thanks

Notepad++ Error for 64bit - ShellExecute failed (2): Is this command correct?

Cause : It happens when you set Notepad++ to "run as" administrator on Windows 7. Fix:  To fix this, you need to manually edit the registry of your system to create a new option in pop-up menu to open files with Notepad++ Step 1 : Delete existing  Edit with Notepad++  entry from registry Go into your registry as an administrator (Run -> regedit) and search for notepad++.exe. Find the key under  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT  that has an entry with the  Edit with Notepad++  (or maybe  Edit with &Notepad++ ) and delete the entire key. Right click and you should see that you no longer have that option. Step 2 : Create new entry Open with Notepad++ Go to: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell Create a new key under shell called  OpenWithNotepad  and create a subkey under that called  command . In the  OpenWithNotepad  key the default string is what you want the context menu item to be called. I set it to  Open with Notepad++ . Still in the  OpenWithNotepad  key, create a ne

Delivery cadence and three types of triggers

Both the release and stages make use of triggers. There are three types of triggers we recognize. Continuous deployment trigger You can set up this trigger on your release pipeline. Once you do that, your release pipeline will trigger every time a build completes, and a new release will be created. Scheduled triggers This speaks for itself, but it allows you to set up a time-based manner to start a new release—for example, every night at 3:00 AM or 12:00 PM. You can have one or multiple schedules per day, but it will always run at this specific time. Manual trigger With a manual trigger, a person or system triggers the release based on a specific event. When it's a person, it probably uses some UI to start a new release. When it's an automated process, some events will likely occur. You can trigger the release from another system using the automation engine   Navigation Traditional IT deployment cycle What is Continuous Delivery? What is release, and what is a deployment? Azure
