The development, release, and timing of any future features or functionality described for our products remains at our sole discretion.

Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput or performance that any user will experience will vary depending upon many factors, including considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user’s job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve results similar to those stated here.

IBM DevOps point of view!Enterprise capability for continuous software delivery that enables organizations to seize market opportunities and reduce time to customer feedback

Accelerate software delivery –

for faster time to value

Balance speed, cost, quality and risk –

for increased capacity to innovate

Reduce time to customer feedback – for improved customer

experience

Our DevOps POV is resonating with clients and they are delivering measurable business outcomes with DevOps

DevOps Continuous Feedback

•  Throughput of each process must be the equal in order to avoid backlogs.

•  When preceding process is upgraded to a higher throughput, subsequent processes must be upgraded to the same higher throughput in order to maintain balance.

Optimize pipeline with an even flow end to end!

IBM DevOps increases velocity of application delivery!

•  Rational CLM enabling Collaborative Development

•  Rational Test Workbench and Rational Test Virtualization Server (GreenHat) enabling Continuous Testing

•  IBM UrbanCode solutions enabling Continuous Release and Deployment

•  SmartCloud Monitoring, Worklight Quality Assurance, IBM Digital Analytics and others enabling Continuous Monitoring, customer feedback

IBM UrbanCode Release

Deploying cloud environments still slow and manual!

•  Takes many hours to days to deploy cloud environment and requires multiple specialists to collaborate and coordinate –  Provisioning infrastructure and configuring network, storage and compute

–  Installing and configuring Middleware (Application Server, Database)

–  Installing user application and application data

•  Reduced productivity of Developers and Testers due to slow availability of test environments

•  Slow delivery of applications to production environments

Manual coordination to provision infrastructure, install and configure middleware and deploy application

Release

What our clients are saying about deploying cloud environments!

Application Workloads include Infrastructure, Middleware and Applications •  I want to manage these holistically •  Different people have expertise in each area •  I have different automation tools for each layer

Let me choose when to re-provision and when to update •  Sometimes I want to test in a transient environment •  Other times I want to deploy changes into an existing environment, especially production

Don’t make me pick a cloud •  Different workloads have different homes •  I want to be able to test in one cloud, and run production in another

Introducing IBM UrbanCode Deploy with Patterns

ü Pattern designer –  Design open, full stack application

environments in a diagram or textual editor

ü Design once, deploy anywhere –  Deploy full stack environments to multiple

clouds

ü Environment lifecycle management –  Manage infrastructure change and easily

apply changes to existing environments

ü Delivery process automation –  Automated delivery process with integrated

full stack environments

Design and deploy full stack application environments for multiple clouds

•  The adoption of DevOps => increased velocity of application delivery

•  Puts pressure on the infrastructure to respond more quickly

•  Software Defined Environments enable you to capture infrastructure as a software artifact

Deploying infrastructure changes is the current bottleneck for delivery pipeline !

Full Stack Blueprint

Dev! QA! Prod!

Apply the same blueprint to multiple environments!

•  Version the blueprint using your source control repo (native support for git)

•  Apply the new versions of the template to an existing environment or provision an entire new stack

•  Validate changes with a "canary" pattern to ensure correctness and detect problems earlier

•  Verify entire stack before production

Full-Stack Blueprint

Software Defined Delivery!

•  Parameterize differences between cloud environments (network ids, image ids, software versions)

•  Overlay resource types for different kinds of clouds in the same blueprint

•  Enable portability but optimize for each specific cloud platform

Software Defined Portability!

OpenStack Heat!•  Provides a way to represent infrastructure

•  Recently added support for client-side automation through Shell, Chef, or Puppet

•  Defined a new Domain Specific Language for templates: Heat Orchestration Template (HOT) format

•  Supports updating existing environments in place

Introducing Web-based HOT Editor!!

Let’s get textual!!

Provide catalogs of available resources!Compute! Network! Storage!

Include Software Configuration!!UrbanCode Deploy!

o Provide Software Components right along side infrastructure!

o Represent these resources in HOT documents!

o Once, deployed update either from Heat or UrbanCode Deploy!

o Will support Chef, Puppet, etc over time!

Manage Identity through OpenStack Identity API!!

o Users authenticated upon login with keystone!

o Keystone tokens used for discovery of existing content!

!

23!

•  Diagram editor!•  Source text editor !•  HOT as-you-type validation!•  Annotated TODO & errors!•  Quick palette for searching!•  Editor functions: Cut, Copy, Paste,

Find & Replace!•  Zoom diagram or text!•  Comment out infrastructure!

Demo: Web-based design and provisioning

IBM UrbanCode focuses on Release Automation!

Drive down cost

Remove manual effort and wasted resource time with push button deployment processes

Speed time to market

Simple, graphical process designer, with built-in actions to quickly create deployment automation

Reduce risk

Robust configuration management, coordinated release processes, audits, and traceability

Enabling clients to more rapidly deliver mobile, cloud, big data and traditional applications with high quality and low risk

IBM UrbanCode Deploy automates the deployment of applications, databases and configurations into development, test and production environments, helping to drive down cost, speed time to market with reduced risk.!!IBM UrbanCode Release is an intelligent collaboration release management solution that replaces error-prone manual spreadsheets and streamlines release activities for application and infrastructure changes. !

•  Defined by the community and vendors

•  Integration with UrbanCode Deploy enables rapid configuration of full application stack

•  Support ongoing updates of deployed versions through UrbanCode Deploy

Example: Software!

IBM UrbanCode Deploy!

o Application-centric view!

o Understands components, environments, snapshots of verified component versions!

o Promote from one environment to the next, with approval gates!

IBM UrbanCode Deploy & Heat Templates!

o Extended to create environments in OpenStack!!

!o Provisioned

resources made available for ongoing updates!

IBM UrbanCode Deploy & Heat Templates!

!o Choose HOT

document, configuration, and parameters!

o Discovery service provides easy access to Glance, Neutron, Cinder resources!

29!

•  View current environments!•  Create new environments in the

cloud!•  Select available resources from

Nova, Neutron, Cinder!•  Validation feedback in place!•  Update environment over time!•  Deploy new component versions!

Demo: UrbanCode Deploy Consuming Cloud Patterns

•  We’ve been in the tools business for a long time and seen different approaches to common + vendor information models

•  Approaches like Java EE keep a common file (web.xml) and then extend it with vendor content (ibm-web-bnd.xml)

•  These approaches become harder to maintain over time

Managing Attributes from Different Clouds!

•  Chose to extend the Heat Resource Types to understand other Service API directly

•  “Overlay” additional properties alongside Heat and use the Resource Registry to implement different behavior

•  Capability was restricted from Havana to Icehouse, so we now embed properties in metadata

Cloud Portability through Decoration!

•  Chose this approach to support multiple cloud targets from Heat

•  Enable Heat to talk natively to different cloud APIs

•  Support portability for customers who haven’t yet adopted OpenStack

Example: Decorating Amazon!

33!

•  Provision Network architecture to OpenStack!

•  Provision Network architecture to Amazon (no OpenStack required)!

•  Select pre-defined configuration for each cloud!

Demo: Cloud Portability
