Increase the velocity of your software releases by using continuous deployment driven by continuous delivery pipeline. After all, the goal of agile is to get code updates into the hands of your users fast and on a high frequency basis. This means installing all the way to production, not just staged for productio. This webinar will show you an approach to achieving full continuous deployment using GitHub and DeployHub. You will learn how to declare your Application Package from your GitHub repository, manage approvals and deliver updates to environments across the CD pipeline from development through production. GitHub and DeployHub work together to provide a complete DevOps process that results in a repeatable, consistent software releases process with a full continuous feedback loop.

Increase the Velocity of Your Software
Release with GitHub and DeployHub
Presented by:
Christian Weber, Solutions Engineer, GitHub
Tracy Ragan, CEO, OpenMake Software

2. About the Presenters
CEO, OpenMake Software
Ms. Ragan has had extensive experience in the
development and implementation of DevOps for large
organizations. Her knowledge and experience contributed
to the creation of OpenMake Meister, the first commercial
Build Automation solution, and DeployHub, the first open
source Application Release Automation solution.
After spending several years in Finance doing various Dev and
Ops related things, Christian focuses on supercharging
organization's software development practices by utilizing
GitHub as a collaboration platform. Christian focuses on
Collaboration, Release Management and Automation as vehicles
for organizational success.Solutions Architect, GitHub

3. To increase the velocity of
software releases, Agile teams
must break down the barriers to
continuous deployment. . .
. . . allowing
software releases to
be consistently
deployed and
traced across the
pipeline from dev to
prod.

13. How mature is your Continuous Delivery
Model?
1) Each Environment owner scripts their own
deployment process.
2) CI/CD manages scripted deployments to dev
and test, prod is different.
3) We use an integrated application release
automation solution to drive continuous
deployment across the pipeline.
Polling Question Two

14. Tools you will need:
Repository & Issue Tracking
Release Packaging
& Automation

15. GitHub to DeployHub for artifacts
Step 1: You create a DeployHub Application Package using Components. You Map your
GitHub Release Asset to a DeployHub Component.

16. GitHub Pipeline Project
Step 2 – Create a Pipeline Project
• Use your GitHub project to control deployments
across the pipeline, packaged in a DeployHub
Application.
• Example Application:
• Components 1 - Tomcat WebApp Runner Jar
• Components 2 -Uptime War
• The Pipeline Project will:
• Manage Approvals for Deployments
• Record Full Audit History
• Consolidate all Deployment Activity
• Link Deployed Components to Change Requests
