IBM DevOps – The technical foundation to ‘do’ DevOps

Run on OpenShift

IBM DevOps Case Studies

“The ability to automate and deliver an end-

to-end application solution in under two hours

is truly transformational for QBE. Having this

ability to increase overall productivity for our

development teams and projects will go a

long way in meeting customer needs and

expectations for getting products to

production faster.”

— Kelly Mikula, Global Head of Technical Services, QBE Insurance Group

Accelerated deployments

from weeks to hours while

freeing up staff to deliver

more value to the business.

“These are all now working in the same

environment, the same versioning

mechanism, working on one consistent

result. And that’s I think one of the core

messages of DevOps…This is certainly

running our business smoother.”

— Ralph Van Beek, DevOps Architect, Rabobank

“We live in a digital economy, everybody

needs to move towards API economy, faster

time to market, greater efficiency and this is

not really possible anymore with old, legacy

type of systems, which are monolithic and

really hard to maintain.”

Aiming to bring faster

development and testing to its

mainframe environment without

sacrificing stability and

scalability, Rabobank uses IBM

DevOps solutions to automate

end-to-end tests.

“For our business, this means that we have

much more agility. We could bring changes to

the business in a much higher speed, while

at the same time safeguarding that they still

perform. That they don’t mess up the stability

of our systems.”

— Ralph Van Beek, DevOps Architect, Rabobank

https://www.ibm.com/case-studies/rabobank-devops-for-mainframe

A leading financial services

group in Europe avoids millions

in external connections costs by

using IBM Rational Test

Virtualization Server software to

create virtual test environments.

“Every time you have a lot of transactions,

and transactions can run into millions, they

come at a cost. And the cost tends to be

extremely expensive. By using the IBM

Service Virtualization tool, we eliminate those

costs totally.”

How do I scale?How do I better align

with our business?

• Manage across multiple tools and years

of investment in technology platforms

• Scale best practice across the enterprise

• Understand the end-to-end flow to

know where to optimize next

• How is development effort aligning

with business priorities

Continuous deployment

UrbanCode Deploy v7.1 Highlights

• New External Approvals: Automate approvals through external control management tools before deployment processes are run by UrbanCode Deploy.

The new external approval process can be set at an environment level, run on an agent using UrbanCode Deploy plugin steps.

It will allow organizations to enforce that a deployment is automatically validated against a change management systems using

the appropriate plugins.

• UrbanCode Deploy containerization for Kubernetes and OpenShift:

• UCD Server, Agent, Relay all containerized for x86, zLinux and Power LE and certified by IBM

• Support for Helm V3. Now UrbanCode Deploy Server, Agents and Agents Relays can be deployed using just the client-side

Helm executable, without Tiller.

• Users can now configure the filesystem group id used when accessing persistent storage required for deployment of

UrbanCode Deploy Server, Agent and Agent Relays. This support is important for multi-cloud environments where the

persistent storage support may differ in implementation and require the use of a specific filesystem group id.

• UrbanCode Deploy agents have been enhanced to allow the execution of additional customer-supplied executables without

the need to create a new container image.

• Z/OS version merge: This new capability allows you to merge several existing z/OS versions into one deployable version for new package format

• New Deployment Triggers:Now when you import new versions, you can opt to have the versions run immediately on multiple environments. The

enhancement will now allow deployment triggers to run processes on ALL environments after a component imports a version

UrbanCode Deploy v7.0.x HighlightsPerformance improvements

• Codestation S3 Support: Users can now optionally migrate data for storage on S3 to reduce the size of data stored in UrbanCode Deploy.

• Improved Resource Tree: Queries to the Resource Tree have been optimized for performance improvements.

• Save database space with compressed version configuration: Entries to the version configuration information in the UrbanCode database will be automatically compressed when written.

• New Distributed Front End: The UrbanCode Deploy Server now has the capability to allow customers to route user traffic across more than one UrbanCode front end instance. The new architecture will make for a more

robust end user experience and will provide resiliency for UrbanCode Deploy when connected to numerous end-users. This new architecture will also aid in diagnosing front end related issues.

Improved Usability:

• Safe Edit: This new capability will allow teams to safely write new deployment processes

• Ordering properties: A user can now drag and drop properties to the desired order in a list.

• Agent log available from UI: Users can now access agent logs from the user interface, removing the need to access the target server manually

• Snapshot History tracking: It is now possible to track added or removed versions in an UrbanCode Deploy snapshot.

• UI layout improvements: Agent and resource tables, all main lists accessible from the main tabs can now be customized to only display certain columns, which can now be reordered

• Maintenance mode: This feature allows the UCD server to go into maintenance mode, preventing deployments from starting or being interrupted before bringing the server down.

• Run Generic Processes API: Generic Processes can now be run from outside the user interface, via APIs. Enhances “developer use”.

• Mixed mode licensing support

Deployments to z/OS:

• Enhancements to new zOS component including creation of target dataset & inventory delta deploy.

• New Inventory View enables the user to select a component within an application’s environment to view the component versions containing a specific file. The user can go back any number of versions.

• New Runtime Delta Deploy allows the user to deploy only changed data set members to the target (the delta determined based on the target environment).

• Performance improvement on multiple plugin steps in the zOS utility plugin.

• zOS MF plugin enhancement to accept client certificates for authentication.

• IBM Z integrations with Artifactory and Nexus

New and enhanced plugins:

• API Connect 2018 – now supports APIC v5 and v2018.

• HP LoadRunner – New automation plugin to run test scenarios in an HP LoadRunner server.

• GitHub Releases – New source config plugin to import artifacts from releases in a GitHub server

• HCL OneTest

• IBM App Security on Cloud plugin

• Proxy support was added to the Slack plugin

• Websphere Application Server Deploy plugin customer requests

• OracleSQLPlus enhancements

• IBM InfoSphere Information Services Director enhancements

UrbanCode Deploy Cloud BluePrint Designer

• Updates to maintain Blueprint Designer and Heat plugin compatibility with latest OpenStack release (Rocky) and VMware vRealize Automation

• Discover and design Terraform modules from Git or the Terraform module registry

• Enhancements to provisioned environment to view Terraform resource details, inputs, and outputs

• Designed Cloud Automation Manager (CAM) templates utilizing shared parameters and CAM tags.

IBM UrbanCode Deploy automates the progression of software assets through a delivery pipeline. It is used by

developers to identify required dependencies and versions then deploy to the target environment.
