2. The cloud is critical for software
development today!
Scalable
to meet modern
demands
Offering best tools
for the job
Flexible
Concentrate on
development
not on the hardware

3. But software consists of many
components

4. And goes through many stages
on its way to production
Developer laptop
Development network
Testing environment
Live in production

5. Each phase is like planting a
garden!
All those components need to be carefully
configured for the environment

6. What you need is a ‘plant pot’
you can move around
Portable
Shielded
Adaptable

7. Enter the world of Linux cloud
containers!
Containers are isolated, but
share OS and, where
appropriate, bins/libraries
Faster deployment
Less overhead
Easier migration
=

8. Example: Docker on SoftLayer
with Rational
Develop for private, hybrid or public cloud,
using software development lifecycle tools
