Introductory presentation of IBM UrbanCode Deploy, the application deployment tool (DevOps)

1. UrbanCode Deploy
================
**XXXX XXXX**

2. ##Urbancode Deploy
-UCD is a web app to automate
app deployment, solving the
congestion problem

3. ##DevOps toolchain recap
-Software configuration management
- >versioning on source code file (e.g. *.java)
- >maintained by Dev
-App deployment tool
- >store compiled binary
- >versioning on deployed binaries (e.g. *.EAR);
app & server configuration
- >automate deployment procedure
- >invoke build engine (jenkins); package manager
(npm, apt-get, cocoapod)
- >delta deployment
- >zero-downtime deployment
- >rollback & cleanup procedure
- >maintained by Ops

5. ##Artifact repository
-Tamper-proof storage for binary
is used for deployment, &
rollback
-Artifact is labelled &
versioned, in form timestamp &
build id, etc
-Enable delta deployment

6. ##Application delivery process
-End-to-end process
-Promotion across environment

7. ##Key principles
-Build once
-Single repeatable process
-Different (versioned) app &
environment properties for each
app/release/stage/server

8. ##Blue-green deployment
-(almost) zero down time

9. ##Versioning
-Entire app & its property
-Component (part of app)
-Server configuration
-Deployment process

10. ##Promotion gate via test
-Environment gate to auto-check
passing criteria

11. ##Re-usable common environment
configuration
##Apply/replace delta
configuration

12. ##UrbanCode Deploy plug-ins
-Plugin is a pre-built deployment
procedure; no scripting required

13. ##Expected result
-Reduce time-to-deploy from
weeks to hours
-Establish Promotion process
-Enable “normal deploy”,
“firefighting mode”, “hot-fix
mode”, etc.

14. ##Case Study: XXX Lab
-DevOpsEngineer-to-machine ratio
= 1:??
-Time-to-deploy (for Build-
verification-Test): ?? Hours
