Centurion Reviews

Centurion Description

Centurion is a deployment tool specifically designed for Docker, facilitating the retrieval of containers from a Docker registry to deploy them across a network of hosts while ensuring the appropriate environment variables, host volume mappings, and port configurations are in place. It inherently supports rolling deployments, simplifying the process of delivering applications to Docker servers within our production infrastructure. The tool operates through a two-stage deployment framework, where the initial build process pushes a container to the registry, followed by Centurion transferring the container from the registry to the Docker fleet. Integration with the registry is managed via the Docker command line tools, allowing compatibility with any existing solutions they support through conventional registry methods. For those unfamiliar with registries, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with their functionality prior to deploying with Centurion. The development of this tool is conducted openly, welcoming community feedback through issues and pull requests, and is actively maintained by a dedicated team at New Relic. Additionally, this collaborative approach ensures continuous improvement and responsiveness to user needs.
