to deliver innovative, quality
software continuously.
Reduce the cost of testing while helping
development teams balance quality and
speed.
Deliver software to customers
and internal users faster and
more frequently with better
quality, lower cost, and reduced
risk.
Understand and accommodate the
user perspective to achieve service
levels with better visibility and

Bottleneck: Rigid ‘One-size- fits-all’ Development process
Solution: Agile Transformation with ‘Risk-Value’ based Process Variants
Bottleneck: Ticket Based Environment Provisioning
Solution: Cloud Hosted Developer ‘Self-Service’
Bottleneck: Weekend long Deployments that often fail
Solution: Frequent Deployment of Small Batches of Change
Bottleneck: Late Discovery of Architectural Fragility
Solution: Agile ‘Shift Left’ Integration Testing to early in LifeCycle

Challenge:
–Developers were creating daily builds
–QA team had a 3 – 5 day cycle time
Bottlenecks Identified:
1.Lack of Deployment Automation
2.Ticket based manual environment provisioning
3.Lack of reliable source of Test Data
Delivery Pipeline Optimization: Large Bank
Three Step Solution:
1.Deployment Automation with IBM UrbanCode Deploy with Patterns
2.Private OpenStack Cloud hosted ‘on-demand’ Dev-Test environments with IBM UrbanCode Deploy with Patterns
3.Test Data Management with IBM Optim Test Data Management

Deploying Infrastructure is the biggest bottleneck for the Delivery Pipeline

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

Hybrid environments – Mobile to Mainframe

The current state of Hybrid Cloud Environments
•Most enterprises have multiple platforms
•Non-cloud environments will not be completely replaced
•Implementing a Delivery Pipeline would require applications to be deployed across multiple cloud and physical platforms
•Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure- as-a-Service (IaaS) Cloud platforms will co-exist
•Multiple cloud standards are proliferating and evolving

DevOps on Hybrid Environments Use Cases
1.Development and Test (Dev-Test) on Public Cloud with Production on Private Cloud or Physical Infrastructure in On-Premise Datacenters

2.‘Bursting’ from Private to Public Cloud for temporary capacity needs

3.Organizations delivering System Of Engagement Applications need to connect to System of Record applications on Mainframes and Distributed physical infrastructure
Portable
Workloads
Application and data are portable across On and Off Premise
4.Organizations need Application workloads that are portable across Private and Public Clouds

5.Experimentation of Innovative applications on Public Cloud or PaaS platforms will need to be brought in-house if successful
6.Organizations looking to outsource Test environment management
7.Organizations transitioning to Cloud will have applications on both legacy systems on physical infrastructure and Cloud during transition periods
8.Organizations wanting to avoid ‘vendor lock-in’ with single Cloud platform for the enterprise

UrbanCode Deploy for Application Deployment to Multi-Platform and Hybrid Cloud Environments
UrbanCode Deploy with Patterns can deploy Applications to System z, Distributed static environments (physical or on the Cloud) and to Dynamic Hybrid Cloud Environments
UrbanCode Deploy with Patterns supports ‘full stack’ deployment (Cloud Environment Provisioning and Application Deployment) for:
•IBM Virtual System Patterns (for PureSystems and IBM Cloud Orchestrator)
•OpenStack HOT templates (for OpenStack Provate Cloud, Amazon Web Services and VMWare vCenter)

Run Your Apps
The developer can chose any language runtime or
bring their own. Just upload your code and go.
DevOps
Development, monitoring, deployment and
logging tools allow the developer to run the
entire application
APIs and Services
A catalog of open source, IBM and third party
APIs services allow a developer to stitch
together an application in minutes.
Cloud Integration
Build hybrid environments. Connect to on-premises
systems of record plus other public and
private clouds. Expose your own APIs to your
developers.
Extend SaaS Apps
Drop in SaaS App SDKs and extend to new use
cases (e.g,. Mobile, Analytics, Web)
