SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the difficulty of consistently deploying applications to multiple environments (development, staging, production) while handling image building, registry pushes, service updates, health checks, and rollbacks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Docker image build & push: Automates creation and publishing of container images.
  • Multi‑environment deployment: Supports direct deploy to dev, rolling update to staging, and approved release to production.
  • Deployment strategies: Offers rolling, blue/green, and manual rollback options.
  • Status & logs: Retrieves service health status and logs across environments.
  • Use case: A development team can issue a single command to push a new version to staging, verify it, then promote it to production with minimal manual steps.

Quick Start

Ask the operating-deploy skill to deploy the latest Docker image to the staging environment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy a Docker image to staging and promote it to production?

Deploy a Docker image to staging by pushing it to a registry, pulling it into the environment, and updating the service. After verifying health checks, you can promote the same image to production using a single command with minimal manual steps.

What is the best way to handle multi-environment deployment and rollback?

Multi-environment deployment and rollback is handled by building Docker images, pushing them to a registry, and updating services across development, staging, and production. It supports rolling updates, blue/green deployments, and manual rollback procedures to ensure consistency.

Can I use blue-green deployment with Docker and ECS orchestration?

Yes, blue-green deployment is supported alongside Docker image building and orchestration platforms like ECS. The process involves pulling new images, updating services, running health checks, and switching traffic to the new environment while retaining the old one for rollback.

Do I need Docker registry credentials to deploy across multiple environments?

Yes, you need appropriate credentials for deployment along with access to Docker, a container registry, and an orchestration platform. These credentials allow the system to build, push, and pull images across development, staging, and production environments securely.

Why does my rolling update fail health checks in production?

Rolling update health checks fail when the new Docker image does not respond correctly within the expected timeframe after service updates. The deployment process retrieves service health status and logs across environments to help diagnose the issue before completing the rollout.

When should I use a manual rollback instead of a rolling deployment?

Use a manual rollback when health checks fail after a service update or when a blue/green deployment reveals errors in the new environment. Rolling deployments gradually replace instances, while manual rollback immediately reverts to the previous stable Docker image.
