Continuous Delivery and Release Automation (CDRA) Picks Up Where CI/CD Ends
When it comes to at-scale software development, is continuous delivery and release automation (CDRA) the next step in the evolution of continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD)? Forrester Research thinks so. The analysis firm describes CDRA as a way for organizations to deliver better-quality software faster and more securely, by automating digital pipelines and improving end-to-end management and visibility. In this edition of The New Stack Makers podcast, Anders Wallgren, CloudBees vice president of technology strategy, discusses CDRA, supporting tools and the goals and challenges DevOps teams have when delivering software today. CI/CD systems provider CloudBees was named a leading CDRA vendor in the report "The Forrester Wave: Continuous Delivery And Release Automation, Q2 2020." The episode was hosted by Alex Williams, founder and publisher of The New Stack, and co-hosted by Joab Jackson, TNS managing editor.
