Continuous deployment considerations

The DevOps team began breaking down the different parts of their deployment process. They also started gathering complaints and concerns from developers, and figuring out what industry practices should be implemented to achieve continuous deployment.

One of the major concerns that they had heard from the different teams was that every deployment was a black box for them. From the moment the deployment was triggered, the team had no understanding or insight into how it was behaving. A failed deployment could take hours to find and fix. Although the resolution to this would be increasing the log output, the core issue is the lack of transparency. The ability to achieve a continuous deployment practice relies heavily on transparency into what is happening and shortening the overall feedback loop to the teams. The DevOps team would need to implement transparency and feedback as a best practice for deployments.
