- A worldwide team at IBM with varied skills across many geographies worked on 16 industries and developed 100 iOS apps, 680 APIs, and had 160 compute nodes across QA and production environments plus numerous development sandboxes. They faced pressures around skills, automation, repeatability, and reliable speed of delivery. - Using UrbanCode Deploy, Heat, and OpenStack allowed them to provision environments for full-stack application blueprints, perform on-demand automated scaling, and promote infrastructure and middleware changes through environments like application changes. This reduced delivery time from 5 weeks to 3 hours and half a day verification with turnkey solutions. - Key benefits included standardization across implementations, version management at all levels, 40% cost reduction over

2. • Proof is in the pudding
• The Partnership
• Enterprise Scale
• Application of Continuous Delivery
• Check on that pudding
• Lessons learned

4. The Apple and IBM Partnership

5. • Worldwide team across many geographies with varied skills
• 16 industries, 100 iOS apps, 680 APIs, 160 compute nodes across QA & PROD +
numerous dev/sandbox
• Organizational pressure of skills, automation, repeatability, and reliable speed
• More than 150 git repositories - iOS apps, frameworks, and API services
Enterprise Scale

6. • Traditional IT methods are more rigid; need more flexibility
• Large amount of manual intervention
• High cost of implementation
• Maintenance headaches
• Dependency and version management
• Magnified by 100s of implementations to maintain
Cause for Change

7. • Deploy apps as quick iterations while retaining high quality
• Sync the complex dependencies of mobile app, frameworks, and services
• Time, cost and skills to assess and stand up tools and environments
• Lack of visibility impeding delivery
Goals

9. Full Stack Automation

10. Cloud-Enabled Workloads with UrbanCode Deploy
• Your applications are managed
throughout the entire release process with
predictable automation and inventory
services
• Your full-stack blueprints capture the
relationships between your applications
and cloud infrastructure
• OpenStack API provides defacto
standards for interacting with all of your
cloud resources

Shared
Cloud provisioning across all environments
enabled by OpenStack, the lingua franca of
the open cloud
Full-stack Application Pattern

13. • Worldwide team across many geographies with varied skills
• 16 industries, 100 iOS apps, 680 APIs, 160 compute nodes across QA
& PROD + numerous dev/sandbox
• Organizational pressure of skills, automation, repeatability, and
reliable speed
• More than 150 git repositories - iOS apps, frameworks, and API
services
Enterprise Scale

14. Design

15. • Provision for pre-defined blueprints
• Perform on-demand automated scaling of environments
• Promote infrastructure and middleware changes through environments just like
application changes
• Drive environment consistency from testing to production even when you are
using multiple clouds
• Seamlessly install and manage middleware software and operational levels
• Promote infrastructure changes through environments just like application
changes
Stack Delivery

16. • Reduction from 5 weeks to 3 hours + ½ day verification
• Turnkey solution. Virtualization to Maintenance of full stack
• Smaller, dedicated, higher skilled teams
• Standardization across all implementations
• Version management at all levels of the stack
• 40% cost reduction with automation + BlueBox over traditional IT methods
Key Benefits

17. • The program is now using this technology to internally manage the back end
infrastructure and API's across all industries and the iOS apps that we are
building. This allows us to stand up environments and pieces of environments at
whim in marginal time.
• Just recently we rolled out the QA environment. Consisting of 12 industry QA
environments in a matter of 2 weeks. Including verification and deployment of
the API's
