abstraction based
on your app’s
architectural needs.
Dev Tooling
From editors to source
code management to
continuous delivery, you
can use Bluemix’
powerful tooling or
easily bring your own.
Location
Deploy apps to Bluemix
Public (in a growing
number of geos), your
own dedicated cloud
Bluemix, or one that
runs within your data
center (Local*).
Services
Pick from a catalog of
IBM, third party,
open source, or your
own services to
extend your apps.

How does Bluemix work?
Bluemix is underlined by three key open compute technologies: Cloud Foundry,
Docker, and OpenStack. It extends each of these with a growing number of services,
robust DevOps tooling, integration capabilities, and a seamless developer
experience.

Why Cloud Foundry?
Deploy in seconds not weeks or months
No need to talk to anyone else
Polyglot runtimes
Java, Node.js, Ruby, Python, Go, PHP, …ASP.NET
Easily integrate internal and 3rd party services/APIs
Open Source runtime platform
IaaS independent – runs in the cloud or on-premise

VM vs Docker
Docker = Linux namespaces + cgroups + overlay file system + image format

Why Docker?
» High Density: Because containers share the same OS image and middleware (when
applicable) we can run more applications on a server.
» Fast Start up: Because containers may have several layers in common only the new
layers need to be copied, reducing build/transfer/boot/load times dramatically.
» Portability across environments
•Cloudy operations with Docker LXC outperform VM
• 48x server reboot, 1.5x server boot, 1.62x server
snapshot, etc.
•Docker LXC density potential compared to VMs
• 3x memory savings
• 26x CPU savings
• 3.22x smaller images in this test (note – image sizes can
vary based on required packages) Manual VM Docker

It’s all about collaboration!
 Share your work with others
– reuse code and share solutions
– manage versions
– make others aware of what you are doing
 Access your files from everywhere
– Develop using Eclipse (or another IDE), or use
web-based development tools
 Track and plan the development
– Replace personal TODO-lists with work items
– Everyone becomes aware of the plan (what is
done, and what comes next)
 Automatic deployment to BlueMix
– As soon as changes are delivered a new
deployed version of the application is available
– Your colleagues and customers can
immediately access the deployed application
Using the online DevOps repo:

Choose Your IDE
 Web IDE
– Provides code editors, SCM tools,
deployment tools etc. in the web
browser
– No need to install anything locally
– For people who want to get started
quickly, have no preference for
another IDE, do not need all
advanced IDE features or work away
from their regular computer
 Eclipse or Visual Studio
– For people familiar with these IDEs
– Integrates with IDS by means of
plugins (EGit or RTC)
 Command-line
– For people who use another IDE
Any member in your team can make their own choice!

Track & Plan
 New Track & Plan UI recently released in beta
– Easy to quickly create a new work item
– Predefined queries for quickly finding work items of interest (open,
subscribed, recently worked on etc.)

Delivery Pipeline
» Build and Deploy your way:
» Configure your project to
automatically deploy to Bluemix
whenever a project member
pushes code to your Git
repository or Jazz™ SCM.
» Simply deploy files as they are
pushed
» or configure more advanced
build options to be deployed
automatically.
» Multi-stage build and deploy

Cloud Integration in a nutshell
• Securely connect to on-premise systems
and create REST APIs to access them
• Simple data synchonization
• Flexible, secure access to on-premise
endpoints
• Powerful API Management capabilities –
integrated with Bluemix
• Ultra-fast find and use APIs from right
across the Web

Example, what is in a buildpack?

Bring your own or write your own buildpack
• Lots of buildpacks available out there
• Google “community buildpacks” 
• Forking might be needed to configure it
• You can create your own custom buildpacks
• Mostly written in bash or Ruby
• Documentation explains how to build it
