Abstract

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for upgrading DevOps tools in DevOps toolchains. An upgraded version of a DevOps platform tool is detected. A snapshot of an existing tool image corresponding to a current version of the DevOps platform tool is taken. Cloud service provider profile information, existing tool profile information corresponding to the existing tool image, and replacement tool profile information corresponding to replacement tool image are accessed. A DevOps platform is upgraded including deploying a replacement tool image corresponding to the upgraded version in accordance with the cloud service provider profile information, the existing tool profile information, the replacement tool profile information, and a DevOps platform category. When the upgrade is complete, the existing tool image is removed and the DevOps platform pointed to the replacement tool image. The snapshot is retained in accordance with rollback settings.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method for upgrading a DevOps platform deployed on a user specific cloud and cluster comprising:

automatically and without user intervention:
detecting an upgraded version of a DevOps platform tool included in the DevOps platform;
taking a snapshot of an existing tool image included in the DevOps platform and corresponding to a current version of the DevOps platform tool;
accessing a replacement tool image corresponding to the upgraded version of the DevOps platform tool;
accessing configuration for the DevOps platform including accessing cloud service provider profile information, existing tool profile information corresponding to the existing tool image, and replacement tool profile information corresponding to replacement tool image;
upgrading the DevOps platform tool including deploying the replacement tool image in a microservice on the user specific cloud and cluster in accordance with the cloud service provider profile information, the existing tool profile information, the replacement tool profile information, and a DevOps platform category;
in response to detecting completion of the upgrade:
shutting down the existing tool image including removing another microservice from the user specific cloud and cluster;
pointing the DevOps platform to the replacement tool image via a load balancer;
and
sending a user upgrade notification;
receiving a registered user validation of DevOps platform capabilities subsequent to sending the user upgrade notification;
and
storing the snapshot and retaining the snapshot in accordance with a time period specified in rollback settings in response to the registered user validation.
