Overnight, Lightwell published new fixes.
Here's the morning after.

Flagged for review
298 patches across 29 applications. The workflow analyzed CVEs, assessed risk, created merge requests, and merged the changes that met Acme Corp’s policy.

The scenario

Same process. Different risk class.

Critical

wire-transfer-service

Customer-facing payment service. PCI-regulated. Spring Boot. Requires human review.

Non-critical

benefits-mgmt-app

Internal benefits system. Medium risk. Merges automatically when its checks pass.

Dinesh manages 29 applications at Acme Corp. Overnight, Lightwell published fixes affecting both. The workflow analyzes CVEs, classifies risk, and routes each change accordingly. This demo follows these two applications through the same pipeline to show the two outcomes.

Ansible Automation Orchestrator · Event-Driven Ansible

Dinesh's operational view.

This Automation Orchestrator view shows the entire workflow and the handoffs between systems. For this demo, we focus on the fast path for these two applications.

Trusted Profile Analyzer

Analyze the fix. Find what's impacted.

TPA reads the Lightwell SBOM to identify the applications using the affected package. It then provides the information the workflow needs to classify risk and route each change.

After the SBOM, the agent begins its work.

The Lightwell Deep Agent uses the SBOM findings to analyze changes, create merge requests, and trigger continuous integration, including unit tests. It is one agent, not a fleet. Each decision is recorded in the merge request it opens.

Source Control & Human in the Loop

As simple as an approval.

The merge request and its continuous-integration results are in source control. Because wire-transfer-service is PCI-regulated, this change needs a human decision. The agent did the analysis, created the merge request, and ran the checks. Dinesh approves it. Red Hat OpenShift AI and Automation Orchestrator completed the earlier steps.

Source Control & Automation Orchestrator

Same process.
Automatically approved.

For Acme Corp’s non-critical application, the same workflow runs without a manual approval step. Once its checks pass, the merge request is approved automatically. Back in Automation Orchestrator, Dinesh can see progress across both applications.

Trusted Software Factory

Build, sign, and release.

After approval, the change moves into the build pipeline. Trusted Software Factory builds and tests the application, signs the image, and records the results before release. It works alongside the continuous-integration environments Acme Corp already runs.

OpenShift & Automation Orchestrator

Ready to deploy
through Acme Corp’s production process.

The critical application moves through an image build, with Automation Orchestrator coordinating the handoff. The non-critical application is already containerized and is ready for deployment through OpenShift. Both versions match the Trusted Software Factory output.

Ansible Automation Orchestrator · Event-Driven Ansible

Dinesh approved.
Automation Orchestrator closed the loop.

The merge triggered an Event-Driven Ansible event. Automation Orchestrator ran the deployment workflow: the build was verified, the image was signed, and production was updated. The change record closed, leaving a complete audit trail.
