Quality assessment and decision recommendation for continuous deployment of cloud infrastructure components

A system, comprising:

• one or more processing units;
• and
• one or more memory devices coupled to the one or more processing units, the one or more memory devices storing program instructions for execution by the one or more processing units, the program instructions including:
• a deployment signal collection component configured to obtain deployment signals comprising information relating to deployments of software components to a plurality of computing devices;
• a fault signal collection component configured to obtain fault signals comprising information relating to faults encountered by the plurality of computing devices;
• a device type collection component configured to obtain device type information that describes a device type of each of the plurality of computing devices;
• a correlation scoring component configured to obtain a correlation score for each combination of software component, fault, and device type based on the deployment signals, fault signals, and device type information;
• an attribution component configured to attribute, based on the correlation scores, each fault occurring on computing devices having a given device type to a particular software component having a highest correlation score;
• and
• a decision component configured to render a decision to proceed or not proceed with a future deployment of the software component to additional computing devices based at least on a number of computing devices impacted by one or more faults attributed to the software component for each software component to which a fault is attributed.

A computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage device having computer program logic recorded thereon that when executed by a processor-based computer system causes the processor-based system to perform a method, the method comprising:

• obtaining deployment signals comprising information relating to deployments of software components to a plurality of computing devices;
• obtaining fault signals comprising information relating to faults encountered by the plurality of computing devices;
• obtaining device type information that describes a device type of each of the plurality of computing devices;
• based on the deployment signals, fault signals, and device type information obtaining a correlation score for each combination of software component, fault, and device type;
• based on the correlation scores, attributing each fault occurring on computing devices having a given device type to a particular software component having a highest correlation score;
• and
• for each software component to which a fault is attributed, rendering a decision to proceed or not proceed with a future deployment of the software component to additional computing devices based at least on a number of computing devices impacted by one or more faults attributed to the software component.
