1. Deployment of a complete DevOps Solution in the Cloud
Nic Swart

2. DevOps on the Cloud…
A strong foundation is useless without a good set of building blocks.
• CA Release Automation
• CA Service Virtualization
• CA Directory
• CA SiteMinder
• TBA: CA CloudMinder
By using a combination of these CA Solutions we are building an robust
structure.

14. Summary
• Actual Infrastructure deployed
• All VM’s are fully configured by embedded scripts acting on their
boundary properties
• All domain knowledge enacted by embedded scripts, deployer need
have no knowledge of the Application being deployed.
• All deployment operations are atomic, i.e. will be automatically rolled
back of anything goes wrong16
Product No. VM’s Time to deploy
CA Directory 3 x 9 = 27 15 mins per site
CA SiteMinder 3 x 7 = 21 15 mins per site
CA Release Automation 3 x 4 = 12 15 mins per site
JPetShop 3 x 3 = 9 15 mins per site
Per Site: 23 VM’s Total 60 minutes
CA Service Virtualization 1 x 20 2~3 hours
Total Deployment: 89 VM’s 4 hours
