Deploying a cloud-native application requires a wide variety of carefully orchestrated tasks. To get a single change out the door, you need to consider infrastructure provisioning, deployment strategies (Blue/Green, Canary, etc.), secrets management and auditing, logging and monitoring configuration, change management processes and more. Multiply that by the number of teams deploying services and applications and you’ve got a significant challenge on your hands. It’s no wonder customers tell us that continuous deployment at scale is still an unsolved problem.Teams also want freedom of choice when it comes to the tools they use.  Some teams use Terraform for infrastructure provisioning; others use Azure Resource Manager. You can use Helm, Kustomize, Jsonnet and countless other tools for Kubernetes deployment. How do you enable teams to select the tools that work best for them while providing them a common platform and framework?Project Nebula is a new approach to continuously deploying cloud-native applications and infrastructure by composing the tools and workflows your developers already use into simple, repeatable deployment workflows. In this talk, we’ll demonstrate how Project Nebula works, the range of deployment scenarios it can tackle, and how it integrates with other tools in the cloud-native ecosystem.
