Announcing: The Commercial Software Distribution Handbook

The Commercial Software Distribution Handbook, announced by Replicated, serves as a comprehensive guide for companies aiming to distribute enterprise software in self-hosted environments. It outlines the key stages of the Commercial Software Distribution Lifecycle, which draws inspiration from the DevOps lifecycle and the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), to ensure secure and reliable software delivery to customer-controlled environments. The handbook emphasizes the importance of considering distribution needs during the software development phase, advocating for resilience, portability, open standards, and adherence to the principle of least privilege. These practices enable enterprise customers to customize installations and integrate software within their unique infrastructures without being constrained by the application's architecture, thus offering flexibility and structure regardless of their experience with self-hosted applications.
