Spot Ocean CD is a continuous delivery solution for Kubernetes applications that gives DevOps teams more control by automating deployment strategies across various clusters and workloads, ensuring software releases are as seamless and effective as possible. Spot Ocean CD was unveiled today by NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), a multinational, cloud-led, data-centric software company.
Organizations of all sizes rely on DevOps teams to standardize and optimize continuous delivery to attain operational efficiency to scale and compete in a more complicated cloud environment. With gradual releases, real-time verification, automatic rollback, and granular visibility for service owners, Ocean CD offers a distinct and superior Kubernetes deployment control without sacrificing reliability, security, or efficiency.
With CD automation carried out by DevOps, Ocean CD is the first Kubernetes operator that enables developers to handle the software delivery rollout process independently. This approach involves dozens of developer stakeholders and hundreds of deployments across several clusters. DevOps can establish and maintain deployment plans using Ocean CD across various groups and workloads while allowing developers to spot and stop production incidents before they can negatively affect efficiency and the bottom line. With Ocean CD, switching quickly from a straightforward software release procedure to a progressive deployment method is possible. Ocean CD controls the possible blast radius of software updates by regulating this procedure and ensuring deployments behave as planned.
The one-stop shop for Kubernetes administration is now our Ocean product suite. According to Haiyan Song, Executive Vice President and General Manager, CloudOps at NetApp, “Ocean CD is a natural extension of our Ocean Engine, allowing developers to take complete control of their rollouts and enable automation every step. Ocean CD manages the intricate Kubernetes software delivery process across all clouds and K8s clusters.
Ocean CD offers the following to DevOps teams with this availability:
With automation and gradual software deployment, complex Kubernetes software delivery procedures are simplified by providing visibility into code rollout in an intuitive visual interface. All the deployment-related operations and views may be centralized using Ocean CD SaaS. Additionally, it enables a general paradigm that makes it simple to manage or modify various deployment pipelines on a dynamic basis for all services across all clusters and cloud providers.
Better control to roll out and deploy software updates based on transparent metrics and policies that locate and address deployment trouble points without delaying releases. With the help of intelligent CD capabilities like traffic management, verification-driven processes, managed failure policies (smarter rollbacks), granular visibility into the CD progress, and better control of rollbacks, Ocean CD detects and intercepts deployments, enabling users to take full advantage of Kubernetes’ power and agility with minimal hassle.
An enterprise-ready CD solution that can grow over hundreds of clusters and services, reduce bottlenecks and manual labor, and simplify the deployment of application modifications. Spot Enterprise support and built-in enterprise features, such as SSO, granular permissions management for developers, Notifications, Advanced UI, Multi-cluster management, managerial dashboard, and regular updates in response to customer success feedback, are all included in Ocean CD SaaS.
According to Matthieu Antoine, Senior Staff System Engineer at JUMO, “With Ocean CD, we can eliminate bottlenecks in a way that allows us to be the best we can be in our CD environment.” “Ocean CD establishes a seamless process that is as automated as possible, so developers can spend the least time navigating it. Additionally, it speeds up the orchestration of time-consuming, complicated procedures, like upgrading Kubernetes clusters, and lowers production mistakes. With this technology, we can better fulfill our larger purpose of providing dependable financial services to those who have never had access to them.
You may now access Spot Ocean CD through the Spot Console UI, API, or CLI with Spot.
