Automating the Release Lifecycle: Achieving Speed, Efficiency and Control in Linux System Provisioning and Maintenance

Date: Thursday, March 25, 2010
Time: 2:00 pm ET / 11:00 am PT

Most IT organizations lack consistent and repeatable processes for the system handoff between phases in the release lifecycle. This leads to system configuration "drift" between dev, test, staging and production phases, which often lead to long delays and deployment and patching failures. Join this timely webinar to learn how system version control and release automation can transform the release and change management process from chaotic to controlled, dramatically improving cost and business responsiveness.

You'll learn about:

  • How to standardize release processes across dev, test and production
  • Establishing a version-controlled definitive software library for IT operations
  • Automating "intelligent patching" for low-cost and predictable change
  • Automating platform updates across the lifecycle-upstream and downstream
  • How to take the cost and bureaucracy out of QA and change management
