Introduction to Coral

Coral is a service that provisions and manages resources used in the Software Development Lifecycle.

Coral originated from FAST's needs to provide the following value:

  • Rapidly start development of new projects
  • Reproducibility of compliant software delivery pipelines
  • Alignment of software delivery pipelines
  • Track resources used in software delivery pipelines
  • Scale engineering teams better

If you are wondering why we built a new version take a look at the Why a new version of Coral document.

Coral key features:

  • Configuration as Code: SDL resources are described by declarative, immutable syntax. This allows Software Development Lifecycle resources to be versioned, tracked and updated.
  • Staged rollout of resources: Label resources in your template to be created at different stages. e.g:
    1. Incubation stage: Git Repository, Build Definition
    2. PPE stage: Branch policies, Release Definition
    3. Prod stage: CloudBuild
  • Resource Graph: See the dependencies between resources in your group

Coral preview features:

  • Drift Management: Track and resolve drift of your resources. Read more about drift in the Drift management document.
