Deploy Applications using Choreo CD Pipeline

Using Choreo, you can easily deploy applications written in different language frameworks (such as Java, Go, NodeJS, Python, etc.) on shared or private data planes.

After building your application, you can deploy it from the CD Pipelines page. On this page, you can access the CD pipeline of the selected component.

Trigger a deployment

Follow below steps to deploy a component,

1. Sign in to the Choreo Console.
2. In the Choreo Console top navigation menu, select the Organization, then the Project and finally the relevant Component.
3. From the left navigation, Click DevOps and then click CD Pipelines

4. The setup card will contain the latest built image

   Tip

   Click on the image in the Setup card to select a different image instead of the latest build.

5. To deploy your application, you can use one of the following options :

   1. Configure & Deploy: This option allows you to set up specific configurations for your component before deploying it. In the subsequent steps after clicking Configure & Deploy, you can set environment variables, configure file mounts, and adjust endpoint settings.

      • Environment variables : Apply environment-specific variables via the Environment Configurations pane
      • File mounts : Apply a file mount via the File Mount pane
      • Endpoint settings: Configure endpoint settings via the Endpoint Details pane.

   2. Deploy: This option initiates the deployment process using the existing configurations without making any changes.

Auto Deploy on Build

When Auto Deploy on Build is enabled, it triggers an automatic deployment of your application to the first environment upon the completion of each successful build.

Note

The Auto Deploy on Build feature, is disabled by default. To enable this feature, toggle on the Auto Deploy on Build option in the Setup card.

Promoting a component to a higher environment

You can go to the CD Pipelines page of a component and manually promote it across environments.

Follow below steps to promote a component to a higher level environment:

1. Sign in to the Choreo Console.
2. In the Choreo Console top navigation menu, select the Organization, then the Project and finally the relevant Component.
3. From the left navigation, Click DevOps and then click CD Pipelines
4. Click the Promote button on the required environment card from which the promotion is initiated.

Note

You may see Request To Promote instead of Promote if the workflow approvals are enabled and the target environment is a critical environment. See Submit and Manage Workflow Approval Requests for more information.

1. In the Configuration Types pane, you can either provide new values for the configurations or use the Development configuration.

Note

If you have configured any default values for the configurable variables, selecting Use default configuration values allows you to proceed with those values. If not, specify values for the configurable variables.

1. When promoting the component, you can modify environment-specific configurations (environment variables, file mount etc) in the subsequent steps of the promotion flow.

2. Click Promote.

Configurations

Environment-Independent Configurations

These configurations apply to all environments. To change environment-independent configurations, make the necessary configuration changes via the Setup card, and then trigger a new deployment to the initial environment. Once deployed, you can promote the component to higher environments. Endpoint configurations can be managed from the Setup card.

Environment-specific configurations

These configurations apply to a particular environment. To change environment-specific configurations, make the necessary configuration changes via the specific environment card, and trigger a new deployment. From the environment card, you can manage Configs & Secret and Scaling options.
