The document discusses adopting DevOps practices in a hybrid cloud environment using IBM's UrbanCode Deploy product. It describes how UrbanCode Deploy can create a single automated deployment pipeline across applications deployed to Bluemix and on-premise backends. This provides visibility, coordination of testing, and the ability to deploy updates to all tiers simultaneously or roll back changes across all tiers. The document also provides an example scenario of using UrbanCode Deploy to automate deployments to Bluemix for development and testing and then to production environments in external clouds or on-premise data centers.

But delivering effectively across the organization is challenging
“I can’t keep up with your insane demands!”
“Why do you slow me down?”
Both: “Why is this not coming together?”

Organization productivity is also impacted because the teams can’t collaborate efficiently with each other
“Every time I ask for something from the back- end folks it takes them forever to deliver it”
“I can’t make progress because the back-end service I depend on is not available for me to code/test against”
“The Bluemix team doesn’t understand that making an update on my system involves a complex process, not like what they have that just takes a click”
“The front-end folks are making so many requests and I have no idea which one is really critical to them and which one is blocking progress”

Scenario 1: UrbanCode Deploy supports deployment automation in hybrid cloud scenarios across Bluemix and non-Bluemix environments
UrbanCode Deploy automates the deployment of the same application to both Bluemix for dev/test and then to on-prem data center or other cloud environments
Amazon Web Services and OpenStack are currently supported cloud targets

Scenario 2: UrbanCode Deploy delivers a common automated deployment pipeline across Bluemix and back-end environments
UrbanCode create a single, coordinated release pipeline across all tiers/technologies
Deployments are simultaneous across all tiers; rollbacks triggered by any tier propagates across all tiers
Configuration snapshots guarantee compatibility amongst different part of the application
