THE DEPLOY TOOL

Definition (Wikipedia) What is deployment ?

“Software deployment is all of the activities that make a software system available for use.”

1. Install Software

2. Customize local configuration file(s)passwords, remote endpoints, …

executable(s) + libraries

Situation 2010 Java

Restart installs softwareLog file stored locally Passwords had to be hardcoded or stored separately

in funny locations

C/C++Restarted installs softwareCopy to diskAuxiliary files accessed via network

No Standard Location !

No Standard Location !

Analysis Deployment information is de facto not

standardizedDefault installation directoryDirectory structureProcess name…

No flexible way to install a product No influence on file/directory structureNo post-install changes (e.g. tailoring of config files)No configurable backup policy

Deployment Standardization Document

Suggestion Define deployment configuration in file

CommonBuild’s product.xml is a good place○ Developers already know this○ Some deployment information is already there

No need for an additional system

Creation of an installation procedureUses product.xml to deploy applicationProjects should have certain deployment flexibility

A Closer Look What to we need ?

File and directory structureInstallation locationBackup policyProcess nameMore ?

NomenclatureProduct is the name of the software as from repo

○ E.g. LSA serverApplication is the concrete instance

○ LHC LSA Server

The Deploy Tool

The Deploy Tool What is it for ?

Simplifying deployment process & reduce your workloadAllows developers to take influence on the installation

○ Takes information from deployment configEnforces deployment standardsReduces upgrade time by automation

deploy

MAVEN

CmbBuild

The Deploy Tool and Maven Maven assembly creates a tarball

Assembly.xml required

Deploy Copies tarball to local diskCreates backupExtracts tarball to target install dirCopies aux filesPreserves directories/files from previous installationSends deployment notification (mail + STOMP)

TAR.GZ

Summary Unified way to install software Allows to simply customize installation Main tool in CO for Java & (many) C++ services Simplifies integration test Reduces workload for developers Standardises deployment Easy to extend Supports Maven (Artifactory & Nexus) Supports CommonBuild
