A company that develops software applications for operating and managing autonomous vehicles has an array of developer teams working on many different projects. Successful continuous delivery of software applications for the company can depend on reliability of the cluster infrastructure. Platform owners may be most knowledgeable when it comes to setting up cluster group that spans multiple regions. A developer working on a project can select, on a project management system, a cluster group for deployment of the project. A cluster group can specify a name for the cluster group, a plurality of environment-stack channels, and one or more clusters in deployment infrastructure associated with each environment-stack channel. The project management system can seamlessly provision resources for the project according to the selected cluster group.

Deployment to cluster groups across multiple regions

Platforms to support and manage an autonomous vehicle (AV) fleet can be implemented on and supported by cluster infrastructure. Cluster infrastructure may include different clusters, such as a cluster for an AV fleet with safety drivers, and a cluster for an AV fleet without safety drivers. Updates to the cluster infrastructure can be made to multiple clusters at once. Such updates may cause an outage that impacts multiple clusters and create a massive vehicle retrieval event for all AV fleets. To mitigate the risk and allow for prioritization of clusters, updates can be rolled out in a staged and ordered manner according to order values associated with different clusters. After applying an update to a cluster at a stage of the roll out, the cluster may be evaluated to confirm the success of the update, before the roll out can be moved to the next stage.
