  • Patent number: 11119745
    Abstract: Functionality is disclosed for automated deployment of applications. A network-based deployment service provides functionality for deploying software components to physical or virtual hosts in a service provider network and/or to hosts in other types of networks external to the service provider network. A user of the deployment service creates an application revision that includes deployable content and an application specification defining how the application is to be deployed and one or more lifecycle events. The application revision is then uploaded to a storage service, source code repository, or other location. A deployment configuration is also created that defines the location of the application revision, a deployment group, and a schedule for the deployment. A deployment agent executing on hosts in the deployment group obtains the application revision from the specified location, deploys the deployable content according to the schedule, and performs the lifecycle events.

  • Patent number: 10089213
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for use in identifying and resolving software issues. One or more corrective actions may be identified and taken that are based upon the similarity between an unresolved issue and one or more resolved issues and/or upon the similarity between code changes made to resolve similar previously resolved issues. A version control graph might also be utilized to determine if a change made to resolve an issue in one branch of a software component is applicable to another branch of the software component. The version control graph might also be utilized to compute the relevance of an entry in an issue tracking system for an issue at a point in time after the entry is created in the issue tracking system.

  • Patent number: 9910654
    Abstract: Technologies are disclosed herein for automated software release lifecycle management. In particular, a software release management network service is disclosed that provides functionality for allowing a software developer to automate aspects of a software release pipeline. A software release pipeline can have multiple stages, each of which can have multiple actions. The actions can include internal actions that utilize network services internal to a service provider network. The actions can also include external actions that utilize network services that are external to a service provider network. The internal and external actions can perform various release-related functions, such as obtaining source code, building the source code, deploying built program code, and for performing tests. Stage gates and/or action gates can also be defined for conditional execution of the next stage or action in a software release pipeline, respectively. A gate bypass can also be specified to override stage or action gates.

  • Patent number: 9448791
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for synchronization of source code objects and software development workflow objects. Software development workflow objects are identified that are related to source code objects to be synchronized to a development device. The identified software development workflow objects are then stored in a copy of a source control object store that also includes the source code objects to be synchronized. The copy of the source control object store may then be transmitted to the development device for offline use. Tools might also be provided on the development device for utilizing the software development workflow objects stored in the copy of the source control object store maintained by the development device. The copy of a source control object store containing modified source code objects and modified software development workflow objects might also be utilized to synchronize the changes to the objects to an appropriate object store.

  • Patent number: 9329922
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for performing a defect analysis on a software component based upon collected data that describes the operational state of hardware devices in an execution environment utilized to execute the software component at different points in time. The hardware state data is collected from the hardware devices in the execution environment at different points in time and stored in a version control system. A defect analysis may then be performed for an issue identified in the software component utilizing the hardware state data stored in the version control system. Based upon the results of the defect analysis, one or more actions may be taken such as, but not limited to, rolling the hardware or software configuration of one or more of the hardware devices in the execution environment back to a previous point in time.
