Abstract

Claims (75)

1. A computer-implemented method for continuous delivery, comprising:

receiving, via a user interface implemented by a computing device of a project management system, a selection of a cluster group from a plurality of cluster groups to be used for deployment of a project, wherein the selected cluster group specifies:

a name of the selected cluster group;

a plurality of environment-stacks; and

one or more clusters in deployment infrastructure associated with each environment-stack;

associating, by the project management system, the project to the selected cluster group; and

provisioning, by the deployment infrastructure, dedicated resources in the deployment infrastructure for the project according to the selected cluster group.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein an environment-stack specifies an environment and a stack, and the environment-stacks correspond to different parts of the deployment.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the environment comprises one or more of: development, staging, production, and load-testing.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the stack comprises one or more of: default, research and development, bake, and stable.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the environment-stack further specifies a cell that groups one or more of: services and data.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein an environment-stack has two or more clusters associated therewith, and the two or more clusters correspond to multiple regions.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from a cluster registry, information about clusters in the deployment infrastructure, the clusters in the deployment infrastructure including the one or more clusters specified in the selected cluster group;

wherein the information about a particular cluster of the clusters in the deployment infrastructure comprises:

a name of the particular cluster;

an environment-stack associated with the particular cluster; and

one or more cluster groups of the plurality of cluster groups to which the particular cluster belongs.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , further comprising:

compiling information for the plurality of cluster groups based on the information about the clusters in the deployment infrastructure.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a graphical user interface comprising a listing of the plurality of cluster groups;

wherein receiving the selection of the cluster group comprises receiving the selection via the graphical user interface.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein provisioning the dedicated resources comprises:

provisioning namespaces for the project on the one or more clusters associated with each environment-stack, wherein the namespaces correspond to segregated resources for the project.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein provisioning the dedicated resources comprises:

provisioning secrets usable for authenticating and/or authorizing actions associated with the deployment of the project.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein provisioning the dedicated resources comprises:

provisioning workspaces for each environment-stack on the one or more clusters associated with each environment-stack, wherein the workspaces comprise copies of the same infrastructure configurations for the deployment of the project.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from a cluster registry, information about clusters in the deployment infrastructure;

detecting a change in the selected cluster group; and

modifying the dedicated resources in the deployment infrastructure for the project to reconcile the change.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a request to promote the project to a particular environment-stack of the cluster group; and

triggering the project to be deployed to the one or more clusters associated with the particular environment-stack.

15. A computer-implemented system for continuous delivery, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory unit storing instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the computer-implemented system to implement:

a project management system to:

receive a selection of a cluster group from a plurality of cluster groups to be used for deployment of a project, wherein the selected cluster group specifies:

a name of the selected cluster group;

a plurality of environment-stacks; and

one or more clusters in deployment infrastructure associated with each environment-stack; and

associating the project to the selected cluster group; and

a deployment infrastructure to:

provision dedicated resources in the deployment infrastructure for the project according to the selected cluster group;

wherein the environment-stacks correspond to different parts of the deployment, and an environment-stack has two or more clusters associated therewith, and the two or more clusters correspond to multiple regions.

16. The computer-implemented system of claim 15 , wherein the project management system is further to:

receive, from a cluster registry, information about clusters in the deployment infrastructure, the clusters in the deployment infrastructure including the one or more clusters specified in the selected cluster group;

wherein the information about a particular cluster of the clusters in the deployment infrastructure comprises:

a name of the particular cluster;

an environment-stack associated with the particular cluster; and

one or more cluster groups of the plurality of cluster groups to which the particular cluster belongs; and

compiling information for the plurality of cluster groups based on the information about the clusters.

17. The computer-implemented system of claim 15 , wherein the project management system is further to:

generate a graphical user interface comprising a listing of the plurality of cluster groups;

wherein the project management system receives the selection of the cluster group by receiving the selection via the graphical user interface.

18. The computer-implemented system of claim 15 , wherein the deployment infrastructure provisions the dedicated resources by:

provisioning namespaces for the project on the one or more clusters associated with each environment-stack, wherein the namespaces correspond to segregated resources for the project;

provisioning secrets usable for authenticating and/or authorizing actions associated with the deployment of the project; and

provisioning workspaces for each environment-stack on the one or more clusters associated with each environment-stack, wherein the workspaces comprise copies of the same infrastructure configurations for the deployment of the project.

19. The computer-implemented system of claim 15 , wherein the project management system is further to:

receive, from a cluster registry, information about clusters in the deployment infrastructure;

detect a change in the selected cluster group; and

modify the dedicated resources in the deployment infrastructure for the project to reconcile the change.

20. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

receive a selection of a cluster group from a plurality of cluster groups to be used for deployment of a project, wherein the selected cluster group specifies:

a name of the selected cluster group;

a plurality of environment-stacks; and

one or more clusters in deployment infrastructure associated with each environment-stack;

associate the project to the selected cluster group;

provision dedicated resources in the deployment infrastructure for the project according to the selected cluster group;

receiving a request to promote the project to a particular environment-stack of the selected cluster group; and

triggering the project to be deployed to the one or more clusters associated with the particular environment-stack.
