Spot Ocean CD helps save DevOps teams time and money – all while achieving speed and efficiency.
NetApp has introduced Spot Ocean CD, a continuous delivery solution for Kubernetes applications. To scale and compete in an increasingly complex cloud environment, organizations of all sizes rely on DevOps teams to standardize and optimize continuous delivery to support achieving operational efficiency. Ocean CD provides a unique and better Kubernetes deployment control without compromising reliability, security or efficiency by preventing incidents with gradual releases, real-time verification, automatic rollback, and granular visibility for service owners.
“Our Ocean product suite is now the one-stop-shop for all-things Kubernetes management. Ocean CD is a natural extension of our Ocean Engine, allowing developers to take complete control of their rollouts and provide automation every step of the way. Ocean CD controls the complex Kubernetes software delivery process across any cloud and k8s cluster,” said Haiyan Song, Executive Vice President and General Manager, CloudOps, NetApp.
Ocean CD is the first Kubernetes operator that unlocks the developer’s ability to control the software delivery rollout process with no conflict – all with CD automation done by DevOps. This process typically contains hundreds of deployments over multiple clusters and is conducted by dozens of developer stakeholders. With Ocean CD, DevOps can set and maintain deployment strategies across multiple clusters and workloads while giving developers the ability to identify and prevent production incidents in early stages, which may result in inefficiency and financial loss.
“With Ocean CD, we can remove bottlenecks in a way that allows us to be the best we can be in our CD environment. Ocean CD creates a seamless process that’s as automated as it can be, so developers can spend as little time around it as possible. It also reduces production errors and provides faster orchestration of complex processes that require a lot of time, such as migrating Kubernetes clusters to newer versions. With this automation now in place, we can better deliver on our greater mission, which is offering reliable financial services to people that so far had no access to such services at all,” said Matthieu Antoine, Senior Staff System Engineer, JUMO. “
Ocean CD SaaS allows DevOps teams concentrating all the deployment-related activities and views in one spot. It also allows a generic model that makes it easy to dynamically manage or change multiple deployment pipelines for all services across all clusters and cloud providers. Ocean CD detects and intercepts deployments, adding intelligent CD capabilities such as Canary or Blue-Green rollout, traffic management, verification-driven process, managed failure policies (smarter rollbacks), granular visibility into the CD progress, and better control on rollbacks, allowing users to gain the full power and agility out of Kubernetes with peace of mind and minimal overhead.
