Editor's Notes
- #4 The instant power and speed of cloud has brought about new expectations for building applications on it. Developers now expect: To be able to deploy updates to their applications in seconds To write their code in whichever tool or language they choose Each has its own distinct “personality” and followings of developers have evolved around each of these To be able to continually integrate working copies of code into a shared mainline at multiple points during the day To focus on writing code, not on the administration of servers, virtualization, operating systems, and middleware. To “fail fast” - or ensure applications fail immediately and visibly to speed debugging and fixes To integrate useful APIs into their applications - who wants to write code that’s already been written and tested? To build applications that are mobile ready - as users today expect their experience to be tailored to whatever device they happen to be using.
- #5 Timing is critical if your apps (and the functionality they provide to your employees and/or customers) are to keep up with the new expectations and competition the app revolution has generated. Let’s see how everything stacks up: Core IT represents everything you own and manage in your data centers (the full stack pictured here). This is still a critical part of enterprise IT - let’s take a look why it is beneficial and what it takes to manage all of this. Core IT Benefits As stable and customizable as the customer wants - the only main limitation is cost. Necessary for certain solutions (Core IT still has value in many scenarios i.e. transaction processing) Houses a lot of the investments most companies have already made (customer data, inventory, SAP, you name it). Core IT Time Commitment Typically takes weeks to setup an environment and deploy an initial app - customer manages entire stack pictured here Have to maintain hardware and software as well (think environment uptime, fixes, upgrades). Dedicated staff necessary. Thus, Core IT doesn’t lend itself to the experimental nature of development in the cloud/app revolution
- #6 Infrastructure as a Service (and specifically IBM’s acquisition of SoftLayer) was the cloud’s initial answer to the need for faster deployments, faster environment setup, etc… by abstracting the infrastructure from the customer. IaaS Benefits Networking, Storage, Server, Vitualization managed by service provider. Most customizable cloud offering Solutions where` customizability of OS, Middleware, or Runtime needed IaaS Time Commitment Customer sets up and manages OS, Middleware, and Runtime - these still take at least a matter of days to setup and reach an initial deployment Maintenance/upgrades necessary as well
- #7 We’ve realized that, in a large number of use cases, our customers want to move even faster and don’t need to spend the time managing the platform (VM, OS, Middleware, Runtime). IBM’s answer: Bluemix (platform as a service). PaaS Benefits Setup your environment and deploy apps quicker than any other offering Service provider manages the Infrastructure AND the platform PaaS Time Commitment Minutes to initial deployment - developer can handle everything on his/her own Maintenance and upgrades of Platform and Infrastructure handled by service provider
- #8 While timing is critical (what we just discussed), the systems and data you use today can’t be forgotten. That’s why Bluemix simply and securely connects to core IT and even other clouds (leveraging IBM’s proven reputation as a systems integrator). Hybrid cloud, where Public and Private clouds work together with Core IT investments, is critical to success given the app revolution and the expectations and increased competition it has generated. Overall, hybrid cloud represents the “New IT…”
- #9 Transition to talking about Bluemix specifically. The theme throughout this presentation is that Bluemix just “works.” It’s easy, it’s quick, it’s flexible, it works… And it works with this concept of the “New IT” that utilizes hybrid cloud to keep up with the world today.
- #10 Key themes Speed Instant environments Quick deployments Sign up in minutes Ease of Use Instant Environments Services prebuilt for your use - IBM, Third Party, Community DevOps tools to monitor, plan, deploy, and manage your apps Flexibility On-Prem integration Flexible pricing Security IBM secures the platform and infrastructure - leveraging experience with softlayer and proven on-prem security implementations Provides you with the tools to secure your apps
- #11 Bluemix is built on top of IBM’s infrastructure as a service offering - SoftLayer. It embraces Cloud Foundry as an open source platform as a service and extends it with IBM, third party, and community built services. Explain Diagram (verbs in blue - please use this terminology) Start by Pushing your code through Cloud Foundry Cloud Foundry interprets which language you’ve used and associates your code to the appropriate runtime - now you have a working app (layer above runtimes). Your app can Pull prebuilt services (IBM, 3rd party, or community built) in from the marketplace and utilize their functionality Connect to traditional IT - aka “Your Systems” with a secure connector Connect to other clouds that you utilize with a secure connector All of this sits on infrastructure (networking, storage, servers) hosted by IBM Softlayer (IBM’s IaaS cloud offering) Finally - when your app is built and ready to go, it can be accessed by anything with a web browser and a connection to the internet, a smartphone app (via the Bluemix SDK) to utilize backend services, or another type of app or system (via an API you create).
- #12 We’ve seen over 30,000 beta applications thus far and have spoken to numerous developers about the value Bluemix provides. We’ve learned that developers are joining for 3 key reasons (go through reasons on the page). Rapid setup and time to production Frequent releases - delivery of fixes or new functionality quickly Integrating apps with on premise infrastructure
- #13 Walk through this short video demonstration. *This is to spark the interest/give a frame of reference of those you are presenting to. This will bring Bluemix to life immediately and will allow viewers to understand the points you make during the rest of the presentation. Remember you will get into more details about specific capabilities after the video, so you may want to deflect questions until then. This is bluemix.net - as you can see in this simple setup demonstration: The developer is already logged in to Bluemix He doesn’t have any apps running yet. So… he clicks “Create an App” and looks through runtimes available. He decides to create an app that will help his department manage… vacation scheduling. Fun, right?! So… he selects the Node.js runtime because he’s very familiar with server-side JavaScript and prefers it over other languages (Java, Ruby, bringing in others like Python from community). A starter node.js app is immediately provisioned and running in seconds. Now… To manage all the data, he needs a database of some kind. So… he looks through the catalog of services for a few seconds And then selects a relational database (called SQL database - built on IBM DB2) to bind to his app The application restarts and is ready for the developer to start coding. SO, to start building his app, the developer clicks “Add GIT” to automatically push the initial application’s starter code to an IBM hosted GIT repository and WEB Integrated Development Environment (IDE). He clicks “Edit Code” to get started. He Opens App.JS file He immediately starts building his app on top of the JavaScript starter code that was included with the runtime. Clicking deploy automatically deploys his code back to bluemix. (video then loops back to start) A runtime with a database - ready to start coding in minutes. This is the power of Bluemix.
- #14 Transition to talking about specific capabilities. The theme throughout this presentation is that Bluemix just “works.” It’s easy, it’s quick, it’s flexible, it works… And it works with the apps you/your team wants to build.
- #15 No VM or Middleware setup Setting up and running an app takes only seconds - as I’ve said previously, there is no need to set up and manage a virtual machine, operating system, middleware, or runtime - IBM manages all of that for you so that you can focus on building apps quickly. And if your app becomes a hit and demand increases - you can scale it up with a few clicks or let Bluemix do that for you automatically Multiple Language Support We built Bluemix for all developers — knowing that no two developers are exactly alike. Each has their own preferences for language, tooling, front-end frameworks, and the list goes on. To this point, Bluemix supports multiple language runtimes out of the box (Java Liberty, Server-side JavaScript with Node.JS, and Ruby) and allow developers to “bring their own” languages from the community (i.e. PHP, Python, etc…).
- #16 Bluemix also allows flexibility when it comes to tooling - as, again, each developer has different preferences and needs. Tooling Options: IBM offers a web based integrated development environment (IDE) and associated git repository that allows quick deployments back to bluemix. Developers can also edit code on their local machines (with the editor of their choice - i.e. Sublime) and deploy back to Bluemix through the cloud foundry command line. Note to presenter: Other IDEs (like Eclipse, Cloud9) have direct integration with Cloud Foundry and can push code directly to bluemix, rather than a manual push by developer via command line. You may be asked about this.
- #17 Bluemix allows developers the flexibility to choose their own languages and tooling - but choice doesn’t stop there. We want to allow developers to compose their applications of whichever services, IBM created or otherwise, that work best for them, their organization, and their projects. IBM Created Service Examples (full range of proven, industry leading capabilities): SQL Database (DB2 relational database), Analytics Warehouse (Blu Acceleration powered), MQLight (message provider), Cloudant (IBM’s no-sql database), Watson Services (cognitive computing), Mobile Application Security, Push Notifications Third Party Created Service Examples (competing or otherwise - note the colors): Clear DB (MANAGED MySQL relational database), Cloud AMQP (MANAGED rabbit MQ message provider), MongoLab (MANAGED no-sql mongo db), Square (process mobile payments), Twilio (VoIP Calls, SMS & MMS sending/receiving) Community Services (if open source works best for you): mysql (MySQL open source db), rabbitmq (RabbitMQ open source message provider), redis (open source Key-Value store),
- #18 We know how important your existing on-premise and other cloud investments are to your business - so we’ve designed Bluemix to quickly, easily, and securely connect to them: Secure Connector provides a simple mechanism for connecting to another system - be it on-site (behind a firewall) or in the cloud. If you have DataPower, Bluemix works with that as well. The Standard (Cast Iron) Secure Connector is a simple software based connector that establishes a tunnel between BlueMix applications and the network on which it is installed, leveraging a secure (HTTPS) access that eliminates the need for a firewall port. You can create REST APIs against endpoints you’ve securely connected to (i.e. an API that “GETs” customer information from a DB2 database on-premise) CastIron Live (separate IBM SaaS product) Integration (future) Data Orchestration (future) Catalog of the custom APIs you’ve created that is in-line with existing service catalog (future)
- #19 Gain the visibility and control you need over your applications. Understand how your apps are performing in real time with these key metrics Uptime Usage Response time Easy-to-use dashboards and integrated analytics-powered search capability help you find the root cause line of code quickly and easily. Integrated log file analysis on a single tab that helps you to quickly identify errors.
- #20 Bluemix leverages SoftLayer and IBM’s hosting experience to provide you with a trusted and secure platform to build and deploy your applications. IBM’s focus is on securing the platform and the infrastructure - utilizing a number of rigorous security standards: Defense in depth Each layer (in the stack on the right) is secured assuming that the layer above isn’t. Intrusion protection/penetration testing Data Isolation Automated Patch Management Your focus is on securing your applications. We provide you with the tools to do that. SSO AppScan Scans your apps to detect vulnerabilities
