You can configure any type of complex deployments, like deploying your application to a cluster of nodes behind a load balancer, for example. This means that you need to have a running instance of XL Deploy server, and it gives you a lot of benefits. The Gradle plugin uses XL Deploy to do the heavy lifting of application deployment. Note that if you have a CI server then you could as well use XebiaLabs CI plugins to execute deployment of successful builds, like Jenkins plugin, Bamboo plugin or TFS plugin.
#XL DEPLOYIT INSTALL#
In this post I will demonstrate how you can setup XL Deploy and Gradle to automatically install your applications. Or you could hook the deployment task to your Gradle release process to automatically install a new version in an acceptance environment. So you can easily deploy a new snapshot version of your project to development environment. With this plugin you get a new task in your Gradle project, “ deploy“, which installs your application to a given environment. If you use Gradle to build your project, you can now automate project deployment using the new XL Deploy plugin for Gradle, which is available in the XebiaLabs community. The post Transparency In Your App Deployment Tools Is A Good Thing appeared first on XebiaLabs. The ability to review the deployment scripts, combined with XL Deploy‘s extensibility gives XL Deploy customers the of power to automate and control their deployments. We can click on those and see the actual script that is going to be run for this deployment step.Īfter reviewing the script, if you don’t like it, we can easily extend the plugin to change the behavior (see our Customization Manual).
Notice that there are eyeballs on the deployment steps in the deployment plan.
#XL DEPLOYIT WINDOWS#
Let’s have a look at this feature.įirst, I will start a deployment of the NerdDinner Application on some Windows Servers as follows: If something goes wrong, it is great to be able to trace the problem back. I like to know that I can find out what my tool is doing.
#XL DEPLOYIT CODE#
Furthermore, systems that use source code work better with existing version control systems. These graphical tools hold a lot of promise, but sometimes they seem to be more trouble than they are worth. They always fail somehow and then you are left trying to figure out what happened. During the evaluation the Sales Engineer pointed out we could see the actual script that XL Deploy was going to execute during our WAS deploy.Īs a developer and system administrator who has written a lot of code and worked on many systems, I have come to dislike graphical only development tools. I was also part of the team that evaluated XL Deploy and other products. Before I started at XebiaLabs, I worked for a large midwestern bank.
We started discussing the reasons that our customers pick XL Deploy over some of our competitors. This functionality depends on puppetdb.The other day, my colleague Andrew Philips and I were discussing various topics.
#XL DEPLOYIT SOFTWARE#
This module enables you to tie this deployment software into your puppet environment. XL Deploy is a kick-ass modular platform independant software deployment system. The xldeploy module enables you to install and manage large XL Deploy enabled infrastructures. THIS CODE AND INFORMATION ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY XEBIALABS.
