Webhooks now support Before Deployment Constraints and Blue/Green Strategies

CD-as-a-ServiceFeature

It is now possible to leverage a Web-hook within a before deployment constraint and a blue/green strategy (in addition to a canary strategy). We are still working to document this functionality, but in the meantime, more information is in the prior feature notes on using web-hooks in a canary strategy.

Example syntax for using web-hook from within a before deployment constraints:

    constraints:
      dependsOn: ["infosec","staging"]
      beforeDeployment:
      - pause:
          untilApproved: true
      - runWebhook:
          name: myWebhookwcontext
          context:
            environment: production

Example syntax for using web-hooks from within a blue/green deployment strategy:

strategies:
  myBlueGreen:
    blueGreen:
      activeService: potato-facts-external
      previewService: potato-facts-preview
      redirectTrafficAfter:
        - analysis:
            interval: 7
            units: seconds
            numberOfJudgmentRuns: 1
            rollBackMode: manual
            rollForwardMode: automatic
            queries:
              - avgCPUUsage-pass
        - runWebhook:
            name: myWebhook

Known issues:

web-hook name does not show up properly in a before deployment constraint yet

Pipeline graph is now available when deploying to a single target

CD-as-a-ServiceFeature

Certain functionality, such as trigger nodes and the ability to redeploy an old version, are only available on the pipeline graph. With this change these features are available when deploying to a single target.

Added support for pipeline view during deployments to a single target for easier visual tracking.

New on the deployment graph: Deployment triggers with source context!

CD-as-a-ServiceFeature

undefined

undefined

We've added a new element to the deployment graph called a Trigger Node which explains how a deployment was triggered by displaying the source system, initiating person, and trigger type. This allows anyone on the team to immediately know the source of a deployment, including who triggered it, and how it maps back to a pull request or commit.

When triggering from GitHub, additional source details will appear on the Trigger Node: PR title, PR number, commit SHA, branches, and in the event of a push tag trigger, the associated tag. Each element in the Source section is a deep link back to GitHub.

If context variables were passed with the trigger, they will appear in a Context Variables section on the Trigger Node.

Trigger Nodes will automatically show up on your deployment pipelines. Customers who have already configured a GitHub Action will need to adjust the workflow token permissions in their configuration to view the full set of Source Context information. This can be accomplished by adding a permissions block to your workflow, and adding a token to the GitHub action's env block.

Please refer to the updated documentation pages for more information.
