Deployment Workflow

Deployment Workflow

Standard Deployment Process

1. Development Phase

   • Encrypt all sensitive values during development
   • Use appropriate environment-specific configurations
   • Maintain encrypted configuration files in version control

2. Validation Phase

   • Use validate command to ensure configuration integrity
   • Compare configurations between environments
   • Resolve any discrepancies before deployment

3. Deployment Phase

   • Use decrypt command in secure deployment environments
   • Generate environment-specific configuration files
   • Ensure proper key availability in deployment environment

4. Post-Deployment

   • Delete decrypted configuration files
   • Verify application functionality
   • Monitor for configuration-related issues

CI/CD Integration

Automated Deployment

# Example CI/CD pipeline commands
configfern validate --env prod
configfern decrypt --env prod --force
# Deploy application
rm ./deploy/appsettings.json  # Clean up

Security Considerations

• Secure storage of encryption keys in CI/CD environment
• Proper cleanup of decrypted files
• Access control for deployment configurations
