Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, GitLab, Red Hat and others in Release Automation."The product is easy to use."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"It is very flexible."
"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."
"The playbooks and the code the solution uses are quite useful."
"The most valuable feature of Ansible is repeatability because when you're working at the DoD, you want things to be cookie-cutter and replicable."
"The solution is very simple to use."
"There are so many models that I don't have to create one."
"There are no agents by default, so adding a new server is a matter of a couple lines of configuration (on a new server and the configuration master)."
"The automation manager is very good."
"It does not require staff for deployment and maintenance. It just works."
"The automation is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"AWS CodeDeploy doesn't provide multiple plugins like Jenkins, which is a shortcoming where improvements are required."
"We have faced some issues and bugs along the way when it comes to stability."
"Deployment and stability should be improved."
"I faced some stability issues."
"The product could do a better job at building infrastructure."
"Because Ansible is establishing SSH sessions to perform tasks, there is a limit on scalability."
"The area which I feel can be improved is the custom modules. For example, there are something like 106 official modules available in the Ansible library. A year ago, that number was somewhere around 58. While Ansible is improving day by day, this can be improved more. For instance, when you need to configure in the cloud, you need to write up a module for that."
"Performance has been an issue on larger environments, but it has gotten a lot better over the past two years."
"The solution should add a nice self-service portal."
"For Ansible Tower, there are three tiers with ten nodes. I would like them to expand those ten nodes to 20, because ten nodes is not enough to test on."
"The solution is slightly expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"It would be good to make the solution more user-friendly,"
