mshirley/rdeploy

This is a small web app which takes a specially crafted tar file that contains a manifest file and apps to be deployed. This will allow you to pick and choose the packages to push and eventually will include email and approval workflow.

rdeploy

Design

The goal of this script will be to create a program that can watch a folder for a specially crafted tar file containing a manifest that provides the script all the information it will need to automatically deploy a fix. The fix will be placed in a directory that is constantly watched by the script. When a new fix file is dropped in it will automatically be picked up and put in the queue for deployment. The user accesses a webport which will present a GUI containing all the fixes in the queue. At this point the user can select the specific fix to be deployed and where it should be deployed to (QA/Stage/Prod). Once accepted, the script will process all the deployements selected. First it will read the manifest file from the .tar to propagate important deployment information. i

Process

1. Scan dir for fixes
2. Extract master-manifest
3. Add fixes to queue
4. Access webport to approve deployments to desired pool
5. Process queue
6. Send email to QA for PLV
7. PLV IF Stage GOTO: 3 ELSE GOTO: 8
8. Delete or move fix files
