What does the Cloud Automation module, formerly known as Keptn, support?

The Cloud Automation module, previously referred to as Keptn, is designed to enhance the automation of processes related to continuous delivery and deployment in cloud-native environments. Its primary focus is on facilitating quality gates and implementing event-driven delivery pipelines.

Quality gates help in ensuring that any application changes are thoroughly tested against predefined criteria before they are deployed, allowing teams to maintain the stability and quality of their software. By incorporating quality gates, organizations can automate the decision-making process regarding whether to proceed with a deployment based on test results and other relevant metrics.

Event-driven delivery pipelines refer to the automation of deployment processes triggered by specific events, such as code commits or successful builds. This streamlines the workflow, allowing for a more efficient and responsive development cycle. The combination of these capabilities means that teams can achieve faster and more reliable releases while maintaining high standards for quality.

Other options, such as automatic database scaling, user interface design improvements, or code review processes, do not align with the primary functionalities of the Cloud Automation module. These aspects are typically handled by different tools and modules within the cloud ecosystem, emphasizing the specialized role of the Cloud Automation module in continuous delivery and quality management.
