Deployment scheduling using failure rate prediction

Abstract:

A failure rate model modeling a failure rate of a training functionality deployment in a training set of functionality deployments is constructed. The failure rate model is configured to receive functionality deployment data and output a corresponding failure rate prediction. Using the failure rate model, a set of functionality deployment failure rates is predicted, a functionality deployment failure rate in the set of functionality deployment failure rates corresponding to an upcoming functionality deployment. Using the set of functionality deployment failure rates, a deployment sequence of the set of upcoming functionality deployments is constructed to minimize a predicted overall failure rate of the set of upcoming functionality deployments. The deployment of each functionality deployment in the set of upcoming functionality deployments is caused, the deployment comprising activating the upcoming functionality program code according to the deployment sequence.
