Azure DevOps (ADO) Release

Orchestrated Component Deploy

The Application Stack in this example deploys two components, static content and an API.

  subgraph vm1["☁️ CloudFlare"]
    content["Static Content"]
    API
  end

  Agent --> content
  Agent --> API

class vm1-pod-1,vm1-pod-2,vm2-pod-1,vm2-pod-2,vm3-pod-1,vm3-pod-2,vm4-pod-1,vm4-pod-2 dotted

Each component publishes a self-contained release package to the Azure DevOps (ADO) artefact store. The ADO Release orchestrates these package deployments for each environment, ensuring the complete stack is promoted through each environment with aligned package versions.
