Armory announced the availability of its CD Self-Hosted and Managed
2.28
product release. The 2.28 release supports Armory's commitment to empowering
development teams to easily, reliably, safely and continuously deploy software
at any scale.
Armory's
CD Self-Hosted and Managed 2.28 product release encompasses new features,
optimizations, and contributions from the Spinnaker community to ensure
development teams can deploy code with even greater confidence than ever
before.
This
release embodies Armory's commitment to providing enterprise-grade Spinnaker
and addressing the increasingly complex use cases elite development teams
encounter. This includes exhaustive functional testing of all community code
commitments, enhanced plug-ins and CVE remediation. This resulted in a Long
Term Support (LTS) release assuring platform teams can provide developers with
a stable platform that delivers reliable deployments at high velocity. CD
Self-Hosted addresses the two most common pain points companies encounter: growth
and scale.
"Armory
has invested heavily in our test automation infrastructure so the reliability
and performance of the platform provides the stability that elite development
teams demand," said Jim Douglas, Armory president and
CEO. "This latest 2.28 release empowers dev teams to accomplish continuous
deployment at scale while providing them the best user experience."
Release
2.28 includes new features created to address common customer pain points
within Terraform outputs and parallel pipelines. Specific features include:
- Terraformer
Show Stage -
Allows the pipeline to automatically enforce infrastructure policies and
test for quality with every infrastructure change, reducing operational
risk and increasing stability.
- Remote
backend support for Terraform Enterprise and Terraform Cloud - Helping users have unique access to
assistance within the platform.
- Max
Concurrent Pipeline Executions - Customers
can control the amount of maximum parallel pipeline executions,
accelerating deployment frequency and velocity while speeding up
time-to-market with exciting new features and products.
"Elite
developer teams know and love the power of Spinnaker when it comes to deploying
their software continuously," said Adam Frank, VP Product at Armory. "The Spinnaker community is a part
of Armory's DNA, and it's evident in how we've built CD Self-Hosted and
Managed. We've taken the best of Spinnaker and combined it with our world-class
approach to continuous deployment to give developers a complete and reliable
end-to-end solution from the moment they commit code."
This
announcement comes on the heels of yet another milestone for Armory in its
mission to make software deployment reliable, scalable, and safe; and ultimately
help developers Commit, Deploy, Repeat: the launch of Continuous
Deployment-as-a-Service, which delivers declarative deployments across multiple
environments that support advanced progressive strategies, allowing developers
to focus on building great code rather than deploying it.
To
accommodate the release of Armory Continuous Deployment-as-a-Service into
Armory's growing continuous deployment solutions, the self-hosted and managed
offerings of Armory Enterprise have been renamed:
- Armory
Enterprise becomes Armory Continuous Deployment Self-Hosted
- Armory
Enterprise Managed becomes Armory Continuous Deployment Managed
- Armory
Agent for Kubernetes becomes Armory Scale Agent for Spinnaker &
Kubernetes
