Hi all,
I want to share our experience with DXC deployment times in an attempt to confirm if what we are experiencing is "slow" or just "normal".
We are in APAC, and I suspect Azure Resources in the Region might make a big difference. If you reply, I'd love to know what Region you are in.
In our experience, a typical code only DXC Deployment from Integration to Pre-Prod in APAC takes between 40mins and 1.5hrs. The time of day seems to make a difference, out of business hours deployments are often faster than the middle of the day.
Internally, we joke that a typical DXC Deployment from Integration to Pre-Prod is like this;
- 0-80% = 25% of total duration.
- 80-81% = 70% of total duration. Warming up the deployment slot.
- 81-100% = 5% of the total duration.
- Plus an additional 5-10mins for the completion (slot swap) step
We have raised this with Episerver Support, and are doing some additional logging etc to determine if there is anything unusual occurring.
But more generally, I would be interested to know how the wider Episerver community is finding DXC deployment times.
