Deployment Pipeline Practices

Only environments that are setup automatically from code are also manageable and (fast) restorable.

  1. Create only through automation
    • All environments must be created through automation
    • Environment creation must be available on-demand for anyone that needs (aka developers)
  2. Version Control everything
    • All environment pertaining code / config / artifacts must be in version control
    • Setup of each deployed stage (aka environment) must match production stage setup
  3. Think Cattle, not Pets
    • It is easier to “shoot and replace” (destroy and re-create servers) than “heal” (repair servers)
    • Automated setup infrastructure is magnitudes more resilient than manual
