Informed Approval

Approval of artifacts through the software lifecycle from dev to QA to Staging and production is a very time-consuming and risky process. Deploying unauthorized images or unqualified images presents a serious availability and business risk. The approval process done manually takes hours (or days) and is error-prone.

With ISD intelligent approval gates, all the relevant information about the software update is collected and presented to the approvers. Also, one can set up automated policies that check many of the tedious tasks in a reliable manner. With the ability to define rich policies based on ingested data, one can also auto-approve. The approvals can be chained to get multiple reviewers as well as role-based access controlled so only authorized users/groups have the ability to approve releases.

Autopilot provides relevant and timely information insights about releases to release managers and product managers. Now they can make quick and informed decisions on promoting the software through your pipelines from Dev to Production.
