Common tasks between environments?

Richard Cross

I have a Deployment Project set up to deploy to Test, SIT, UAT and Production.  The method of deployment for each environment is exactly the same, save for the above labels which determine the way in which the application runs and configures itself.

The only problem is that I have to duplicate each deployment step in every single environment, which creates a real headache in terms of maintenance when I need to adjust the deployment steps.

Is there a workaround for this?

I don't think you can do it another way. In Bamboo 5.6, they added a cloning capability to the environments, so if your plans are exactly identical, then you can easily modify one environment and then clone it to others. 

Another way, you can create a bash(or whatever) script, that will do all of the steps, and then just hook this up as a task and do the maintenance of it outside Bamboo. That sometimes simplifies things a lot.
