This metric quantifies the proportion of attempted transitions of an application’s operational status that are successfully completed. It represents the ratio of successful instances where an application’s data and configuration are moved from one environment or state to another, relative to the total number of attempts. For example, if an application’s state is migrated one hundred times and the process completes without error ninety-five times, the value would be ninety-five percent.
A high value for this metric is indicative of a robust and reliable system for managing application deployments and updates. It directly impacts operational efficiency by reducing downtime and minimizing the need for manual intervention. Historically, achieving high values required significant manual effort and custom scripting, leading to inconsistencies and potential errors. Modern platforms and tools are designed to streamline this process, leading to improvements in both speed and reliability.
