Effective communication with seamless integration improves deployment but tool diversity raises usability questions

There are many tools in the market that cover different aspects, such as the GitOps methodology of deployment. I have not used CodeDeploy with EKS, although I have used it with ECS. I am not sure if CodeDeploy can be used with EKS, and I see this as a deficiency for end users. Easier implementation would be beneficial.

Enables one-touch application deployment across various environments

Nolio is a very good tool. It's highly effective for deployment tasks and even supports one-touch deployment across various environments. When you design a process template, it can be reused across different scenarios. It's particularly valuable for database management and web applications. In comparison to Microsoft Kubernetes and other operations, database deployment can become complex, whereas Nolio is a very nice tool in the deployment arena. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten because I don't know all the hidden features. Once I gain a comprehensive understanding of these features, I might be able to give a more definitive rating. Initially, when I started learning about Nolio, I found it somewhat challenging. However, over time, I discovered that it's a valuable and well-designed tool.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"Customer service was very helpful."

"I would suggest using AWS CodeDeploy if your applications are on AWS cloud platform, as it integrates well with multiple AWS services and automates scalability and infrastructure management."

"I found the default settings of AWS CodeDeploy to be highly beneficial for my deployment workflows. For instance, when deploying a Node.js application, I manually installed the necessary components on my AWS instance, such as the web server required by developers. Then, I created deployment scripts for starting and stopping instances and performing the deployment itself. These scripts were stored alongside my code in GitHub, ensuring they executed seamlessly with the CI/CD pipeline. Since the project wasn't overly complex, I opted for the default settings, which proved to be efficient and straightforward for deployment."

"It's just like every other AWS resource I use. It gets the job done."

"You can easily integrate AWS CodeDeploy with multiple services."

"The most valuable features of AWS CodeDeploy are its integration with other AWS services to deploy applications."

"AWS CodeDeploy operates on an on-demand basis. This means that you only pay for the exact duration of the deployment process. Whether it takes one minute, two minutes, or even longer, you're only charged for the time it takes to complete the deployment. You're not locked into paying for dedicated servers."

More AWS CodeDeploy pros

"The CA Application Insight feature is the solution's most valuable aspect."

"The graphical view of when you're writing flow is the most valuable feature."

"One standout aspect is its architecture. We can configure multiple instances on a single server using different system names or usernames."

Cons

"Improvements could be made to AWS CodeDeploy in terms of its agent's compatibility across different operating systems. Currently, there are instances where the agent may not work seamlessly with certain integrations, leading to issues with registering protocols on authorized servers."

"We have faced some issues and bugs along the way when it comes to stability."

"An improvement for the end users would be easier implementation, especially regarding local testing tools for deployment."

"AWS CodeDeploy doesn't provide multiple plugins like Jenkins, which is a shortcoming where improvements are required."

"The documentation could be more detailed, especially for new users."

"An improvement for the end users would be easier implementation, especially regarding local testing tools for deployment."

"There will always be room for improvement, however, I cannot think of any specific improvements at the moment."

"AWS CodeDeploy's lack of ability to use independently without CodePipeline or CodeBuild makes it unstable."

More AWS CodeDeploy cons

"In the next release, I would like to see more features to use active directory. And more rules to support more Python scripts and to work with Kubernetes and clouds, to have an easy solution for a lot of parameters."

"It could use better integration with development tools."

"When I started using Nolio around eight months ago, a challenge was the lack of relevant information and related support for learning."

"A concern with CA Release Automation is that Automic was acquired by CA recently. We're a bit concerned that CA strategy is going with Automic, that CA Release Automation is dead. They are not investing in it too much... They do say, that in the next two or three years we don't need to worry. They will still provide support for CA Release Automation. But we're not sure how CA Release Automation will evolve."

"The configuration of the solution is a bit difficult to maneuver. They should work to make it easier."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AWS CodeDeploy has proven to be a cost-effective solution for us, especially considering the benefits we gain from using it. In terms of pricing, AWS is quite affordable, providing excellent value for the features and services it offers."

"The product's price is normal."

"Since we are using a dedicated AWS environment, the solution's pricing is fine."

"The product is free with EC2."

"It is costly."

"Nolio is a pretty much good tool, though its pricing is relatively high in the market. It's more expensive than other tools."
