NetApp, a cloud-led, data-centric global software company, introduced Spot Ocean CD, a continuous delivery solution for Kubernetes. Ocean CD complements and extends Spot Ocean, optimizing cloud application delivery by automating deployment strategies across clusters and workloads. The combination of Spot Ocean and Ocean CD extends Kubernetes automation and optimization solutions for application delivery by reducing complexity and burdens on DevOps (DevOps) teams, while connecting how applications are delivered and how they are operated in the production environment to offer greater agility, reliability and efficiency.
Enterprises rely on its ability to deploy and operate cloud-native applications with speed, at scale and with confidence to support critical business priorities and initiatives. However, the already overstretched DevOps teams they depend on to make this possible face daunting challenges and the time-consuming work of delivering increasingly complex applications consistently, repeatably, and reliably. The delivery process typically contains hundreds of deployments across multiple clusters and is performed by dozens of developer stakeholders. These challenges increase the risk of frequent delivery failures that slow application innovation and affect reliability, frustrating teams and further increasing the burden on DevOps and operations.

Ocean CD automates and streamlines the delivery process, giving Kubernetes unique and valuable deployment control without compromising reliability, security or efficiency. With Ocean CD, DevOps teams can define and maintain deployment strategies across multiple clusters and workloads, while giving developers the ability to identify and prevent potential incidents in the early stages that could result in inefficiencies and costly failures. Ocean CD enables teams to move from a basic software release process to a gradual deployment process using proven implementation strategies. Additionally, Ocean CD limits potential failures due to software changes by utilizing staged releases, continuous real-time scanning, automatic rollback and granular visibility for service owners. Utilizing Ocean CD along with Spot Ocean and the rest of the Spot by NetApp solution portfolio allows enterprises to streamline and scale the way they deploy and operate cloud-native applications, simplifying and improving their application delivery and operations pipeline.
“Companies rely on their ability to rapidly and reliably deliver and develop cloud applications to support their business priorities, but they often find themselves hampered by complexity and inefficiency,” said Haiyan Song, Executive Vice President and General Manager, CloudOps at NetApp. “Spot Ocean CD extends our automation and optimization for application delivery, enabling DevOps teams to simplify, standardize and automate the complex Kubernetes software delivery process across any cloud and Kubernetes cluster so teams can innovate and operate applications quickly, reliably and efficiently.”
