Proposing a new deployment tool
Modern IaC tools enable team workflows where changes are deployed and tested in test environments and taken to production with minimal changes. However, the tools always require some specific ways of setting them up to ensure that the changes are applied equally to higher environments without significant changes that break higher environments. Furthermore, often these specific ways need to be learned through trial and error leaving behind legacy parts of the infrastructure that are set up differently and are prone to breakage. Nitor has been using our own tool for enabling this workflow out of the box, but it still falls short in some ways. I'll look at the challenges that still need solving and I will propose a new tool to solve them, with a hope for feedback to the ideas presented.
Pasi Niemi works as a CEO of Nitor Care and Principal Cloud Architect at Nitor. Pasi has over twenty-five years of experience in the software business as a developer, architect and team leader. He also sports the original Nitor logo on his calf!
