Overview

Description

In addition to component deployment, upgrade, and cloning provided by the Release Management of the old version, the region release tasks of the new version provide application management (application creation, component creation, component update, and build) and checkpoint tasks (manual approval and manual trigger).

• Application Management
  • Create Application: Add an application creation task to the release task.
  • Create Component: Add a component creation task to the release task.
  • Update Component: Add a component update task to the release task.
  • Build: Add a component build task to the release task.
• Checkpoint Tasks
  • Manual Approval: If a manual approval checkpoint task is set, the release task process can continue only after being approved by related approvers.
  • Manual Trigger: If a manual trigger checkpoint task is set, the release task process can continue only after you manually confirm it.

Release Task Structure

Figure 1 Example of the region release task structure

As shown in Figure 1, a region release task consists of multiple phases (for example, building and upgrading a component). A phase is a set of tasks that need to be executed in sequence in a release task.

A phase can contain multiple groups. A group combines a series of tasks that need to be executed in sequence in the same phase. Tasks in the same group are executed in sequence, and tasks in different groups in the same phase are executed concurrently. For example, the Build app1 and Build app2 tasks in the Build stage form a group and are executed in sequence. The Build app3 task forms another group and is executed concurrently with the former group.

ServiceStage supports up to 1,000 region release tasks in the same project.

A region release task can contain up to 20 phases. A phase can contain up to 20 groups. A group can contain up to 20 tasks.
