Release Sequencing

Release sequencing policies determine how Ctrlplane handles pending releases when a new one is triggered. This prevents deployment conflicts and maintains infrastructure stability.

​
Available Strategies

  • Cancel Pending Releases
    • When activated: Immediately cancels any pending releases when a new release is triggered
    • Best for: Environments where only the latest release matters
    • Example use case: Development environments where you want to skip intermediate versions
  • Await Pending Releases
    • When activated: New releases wait for pending releases to complete before starting
    • Best for: Production environments requiring sequential, complete deployments
    • Example use case: Systems with database migrations that must execute in order

​
Configuration

Configure release sequencing at the system or environment level:
  1. Navigate to System Settings or Environment Settings
  2. Select “Release Management”
  3. Choose your preferred strategy
  4. Save your changes
