Deployment API

To support a Continuous Integration/Deployment (CI/CD) workflow, you can access the DXP Management Portal deployment functionality through an API.

The API is exposed as a REST API and consists of the following functionalities:

• Deployment –  To start, complete, and reset deployments to individual environments.
• Content synchronization – Synchronize databases and/or BLOBs from Production down to other environments such as Preproduction or Integration.
• Export – Export databases of various DXP environments in bacpac format and download to use them as needed.
• Storage containers – List available BLOB storage containers in a DXP environment, and also generate a read-only SAS link with dynamic retention hours to access the contents of the container.

The PowerShell module wraps the functionality to integrate with a CI/CD pipeline.

See Azure DevOps and Optimizely deployment API for how to integrate Azure DevOps with the DXP Management Portal.

See Octopus Deploy and Optimizely's deployment API - Quickstart guide for how to integrate Octopus Deploy with the DXP Management Portal.

You can use Deployment API to start a code deployment between DXP environments in the following ways:

• Deploy using code packages
• Deploy using the code from a source environment
