Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, GitLab, Red Hat and others in Release Automation."It is very flexible."
"The product is easy to use."
"I found the default settings of AWS CodeDeploy to be highly beneficial for my deployment workflows. For instance, when deploying a Node.js application, I manually installed the necessary components on my AWS instance, such as the web server required by developers. Then, I created deployment scripts for starting and stopping instances and performing the deployment itself. These scripts were stored alongside my code in GitHub, ensuring they executed seamlessly with the CI/CD pipeline. Since the project wasn't overly complex, I opted for the default settings, which proved to be efficient and straightforward for deployment."
"It's just like every other AWS resource I use. It gets the job done."
"AWS CodeDeploy operates on an on-demand basis. This means that you only pay for the exact duration of the deployment process. Whether it takes one minute, two minutes, or even longer, you're only charged for the time it takes to complete the deployment. You're not locked into paying for dedicated servers."
"Some of the most valuable features are the ease of use and the ability to monitor a lot of things. It has a lot of applications and facilities that meet all the developers' requirements. For example, we can use application insights to get an idea of our application's performance. Since it's cloud-based, it's really good for collaboration and working as a team."
"Most developers and project managers choose the Microsoft tools to begin with because of familiarity, and these new tools are almost an extension of the tools you're already familiar with. There's a lot of knowledge transfer, which helps, rather than bringing in a new product line."
"Detailed logs allow us to pinpoint the exact cause of any issues, making troubleshooting efficient and accurate."
"The most valuable feature in automating our build and release processes with Azure DevOps is the scheduling capability."
"Microsoft has good integration with its other products, such as Office, Teams, et cetera."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it saves time."
"This platform provides a large span of tools and technologies."
"Everything that's related to the pipeline has been very good."
"Deployment and stability should be improved."
"I faced some stability issues."
"Improvements could be made to AWS CodeDeploy in terms of its agent's compatibility across different operating systems. Currently, there are instances where the agent may not work seamlessly with certain integrations, leading to issues with registering protocols on authorized servers."
"We have faced some issues and bugs along the way when it comes to stability."
"Being more technology-agnostic through ease of integration would be beneficial."
"The installation time of this solution depends on the environment it is being implemented in. We had a couple of projects that took around two weeks of implementation. This included the whole integration of the DevOps and everything together."
"Non-functional testing such as security testing, log testing, and performance testing can be improved with a better visualization."
"The documentation isn't straightforward."
"I would like to see better integration and collaboration between tools."
"The tool has a logical link between epic feature, user story, and task, but when you try to generate a report to show the delivery progress against a feature, it is not easy. To see the percentage completion for a feature or progress of any delivery, it is not easy to draw a report."
"They have to add more features such as schedules and more flexibility in the platform."
"It is very difficult to integrate the product with third-party tools."
