The ever-evolving world of technology demands seamless, efficient, and scalable solutions for organizations to innovate and adapt. We’ve been working to not only democratize these experiences, but also ensure that everyone has what they need in their roles to orchestrate scalable healthy application (and agent) lifecycle management (ALM) for mission critical resources.
Earlier this year, we announced the preview of Deployment pages for makers and admins. Today, we are excited to inform you that these experiences are now Generally Available (GA). Additionally, we’re excited to announce the new Default Pipeline Rule for Environment groups (Public Preview), enabling admins to configure pipelines once and auto-scale access to healthy ALM for all makers.
What’s New with Deployments?
Don’t worry, the act of deploying solutions with pipelines is not changing. What is changing are the useful capabilities offered on each Deployment page. Since January, we’ve baked in advisor-powered recommendations to help both admins and makers follow healthy ALM best practices along with providing the ability to retry failed deployments (in preview, rolling out by June) where action is required— which couples very well with the highlighted “failed deployments” shown on both pages.

Public Preview Release of Default Deployment Pipeline Rule for Environment Groups
The long-awaited rule for environment groups that simplifies the pipeline-environment association process is now here in Public Preview! For customers using environment groups and rules, it’s now possible to connect an environment group to a pipeline via the new rule. This means admins can scale ALM for their various groups with less effort than ever before, associating all developer and sandbox environments with a chosen pipeline (and pipelines host) with a single click.

This further streamlines the pipeline setup process, making it scalable for multiple groups of environments in an organization. So long as all makers that wish to use the pipeline are in the default team of the pipelines host environment, all the work, including sharing the pipeline record and deployment privileges, is done for you!
What’s next?
More capabilities are currently rolling out, including the ability for makers and admins to retry failed deployments (Preview), and an enhanced view for managing approvals on the Admin deployment page. We’ll announce more shortly.
