XebiaLabs Announces XL JetPack: Deploy Applications to the Cloud in Under 15 Minutes

XebiaLabs today announced XL JetPack, the first DevOps technology that enables development teams to release applications securely to the cloud in just 15 minutes or less. XL JetPack includes all the critical components necessary for fast, error-free cloud migrations, including: advanced release orchestration, deployment automation, best practice “blueprints” for Continuous Delivery pipelines complete with integrations to popular development tools such as Jenkins, Ansible, and CloudFormation, and built-in compliance and security functions.

Raising the Bar on Cloud Migration

Enterprises across all industries are attracted to the cloud for its potential to help them cut costs and deliver value faster. But those doing the hands-on work of migrating apps to the cloud know the roadblocks well: time wasted writing scripts to configure infrastructure and connect pipelines, missed compliance and security requirements as delivery accelerates, and a lack of cloud expertise on their teams.

Over the last ten years, XebiaLabs has pioneered release orchestration and deployment automation for DevOps and Continuous Delivery across on-premise, hybrid, and cloud environments. XL JetPack combines the company’s best practices and features so teams can launch successful, efficient, automated cloud deployments faster than ever, without sacrificing compliance and security.

According to one XebiaLabs customer, a large, global insurance company: “As we moved apps to the cloud, we hit a wall because of the complexities of cloud deployments and the lack of cloud skills on our development teams. XebiaLabs has given us a core foundation that makes cloud migration painless for developers who just want to build apps and not have to deal with all the configurations, compliance, and other details involved in getting them onto the cloud.”

• Establish an easily repeatable process for multi-cloud deployment automation. Follow a tested, repeatable process to deploy apps from dev to test to UAT to production environments on any platform, on any cloud, whether Amazon, Google, or Azure.
• Go fast with best-practice blueprints. Blueprints are safe, secure, immediately-usable release templates and deployment plans for cloud-based resources, such as Amazon ECS and EKS. Get best-practice scaffolding, correct cloud configurations, proven reusable processes, and inter-tool coordination, all ready to go. Easily version and share your apps and reuse delivery pipelines.
• Control the launch from the command line. Manage releases in a few keystrokes: invoke blueprints, start releases and deployments, and import and export configurations, release templates, and deployment information for fast spin-up of complete release pipelines and cloud deployments.
• Collaborate with pipeline views and give visibility to all. Release flow, release relationship, and risk views make it easy for teams to follow release, task, and deployment status. Automatic risk scoring, built-in alerts, and built-in approvals and gates help teams quickly spot problems and ensure everyone sees what they need at exactly the right time.
• Monitor launches with comprehensive dashboards.Purpose-built and customizable dashboards based on real data highlight performance, deployment activity, environment status, and security and test coverage, so teams can launch safely, monitor trends, and continuously improve.
• Get built-in compliance, security, and, audit tracking. Includes full chain-of-custody reporting without extra coding or meetings, and ensures that the right governance processes and security steps are followed, whether for cloud deployments, hybrid, or on-prem.
