CI/CD migration between instances

In large environments where multiple updates and deployments occur simultaneously, a mechanism for update control is necessary. Due to the size of watsonx Assistant, we have adopted an architecture with distinct Development, Staging, and Production instances.

Currently, migration between these instances is done via Export/Import (JSON) of the entire instance. This process becomes complex when multiple deployments are ongoing and in validation.

As an enhancement, we suggest implementing a functionality similar to "Copy to Assistant," but operating across different instances, allowing, for example, direct migration from Development to Production. This functionality would allow you to select the actions and/or steps to be migrated.

    Thank you for the input, are you considering moving to wxO where on can run their assistants as-is?

    It is recommended to do ASAP to benefit from latest platform improvements (where some of the req may already be addressed or may be soon) as well as investments which are now made in agents.

    Note we have CI/CD already implemented in wxO for agents: https://watson-orchestrate.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/LSABER-I-961
