14.2 Check Target (all pipeline vs specific job)

Orbnetes deployment and release orchestration documentation for operators and platform teams.

Check target defines what result drives rollback decision.

All Pipeline

Rollback triggers when overall pipeline outcome is not successful.

  • Best when pipeline success itself is the business success criterion.
  • Simpler policy, fewer ambiguous conditions.

Specific Job

Rollback triggers based on one selected job status.

  • Best when one critical gate decides deployment safety (for example health-check job).
  • Useful when non-critical job failures should not trigger rollback.

Design guidance:

  • Choose all pipeline for default reliability.
  • Use specific job only when the selected job is clearly the authoritative acceptance gate.
