Deployments

Deployments are your way of telling Reliably how plans should be run and declaring required information.

Deployment types

There are three types of deployment, each one associated with a way of running experiments.

The How it Works page presents flowcharts for a more detailed view of the differences between running a plan with Reliably Cloud, GitHub, or the Reliably CLI.

Create a deployment

Reliably Cloud

Creating a Reliably Cloud deployment will allow you to delegate running your plans entirely to Reliably.

Creating a Reliably Cloud deployment requires the following information:

• A deployment name, which must be unique to your Reliably organization.
• The deployment type must be set to ‘Reliably Cloud’.

GitHub

Creating a GitHub deployment will allow Reliably to create GitHub Workflows External link will open in a new tab on your behalf. These GitHub Workflows will then be used to install all the dependencies necessary to run the experiments on-demand, according to your plans.

Creating a GitHub deployment requires the following information:

• A deployment name, which must be unique to your Reliably organization.
• The deployment type must be set to ‘GitHub’.
• A GitHub repository, in the form of a full URL for the repository. Example: github.com/my-org/my-repo.
• The name of the GitHub environment for this repository where your secrets are stored. Environements are available in the ‘Settings’ section of the repository, and only available to repository collaborators with the right permissions.
• A GitHub Token External link will open in a new tab to access the repository.

Reliably CLI

Reliably CLI deployments are used to run plans with the Reliably CLI. Using the Reliably CLI allows you to run experiments from anywhere in your system.

Creating a Reliably CLI deployment requires the following information:

• A deployment name, which must be unique to your Reliably organization.
• The deployment type must be set to ‘Reliably CLI’.
