Functional advancements
Many aspects discussed in the previous section indicate an alignment with the functional advancements of CD to simplify the posture of tools and processes. Let’s look at some of these:
- Interoperability within the cloud ecosystem: With the co-evolution of tools and the cloud itself, there is a need for seamless migration of workloads across different cloud providers and different landing zones. Organizations are looking at a seamless transition without requiring huge efforts to re-configure, test and re-synchronize the CD workflow when these migrations take place. The functional super-cloud—sometimes referred to as the cross-cloud, providing interoperability and, especially, CD capability—is one progressive area of functional evolution. It is expected that applications and tools will work on orchestrating higher levels of interoperability, and standards will play an important role.
- Event-driven CD: Using an event-driven approach...
