Open patterns were introduced earlier this year as a strategic initiative to leverage open technologies to cloud enable complex middleware deployments and easily bring HEAT based content onto IBM Cloud. In this lab, you will get the opportunity to get hands-on experience with the Open Pattern Engine in PureApplication that runs on the Bluemix Local System. You will build, deploy and manage an open pattern using Blueprint Designer, Git repository and the PureApplication web console. You will also use OpenStack Horizon console to examine what happens under the covers in the OpenStack runtime. This lab will also help you compare  open patterns with the more familiar Virtual System Patterns on PureApplication.

5. OpenStack Heat Patterns and Bluemix Local System
A multi-­pattern strategy to deploy proven technology and embrace open technologies
– PureApplication delivers the value of pattern
automation in production today
– As open technologies mature, PureApplication
will add support for patterns based on open
technologies
– PureApplication will add lifecycle management
features to make IBM Open Patterns
enterprise ready
– Open patterns will, in the fullness of time, run
on multiple IBM cloud platforms with no
refactoring and minimal change
– Existing PureApplication patterns will continue
to work exactly as today

6. Blue Box OpenStack on Bluemix Local System
“IBM delivered OpenStack Heat-­based patterns using IBM Blue Box in
Bluemix Local System 2.2.2 on 9th September 2016”
• Requires subscription to IBM Blue Box
• Requires 3 dedicated compute nodes to host the OpenStack services
• Requires 2 TB of storage
• Requires 5 dedicated new VLANs
• Requires integration with LDAP
• Using the OpenStack Heat-­based patterns is optional
• Also supports PureApplication System models W1500 and W2500

7. Blue Box OpenStack on PureApplication System
“In 2016, IBM intends to deliver the OpenStack runtime for open patterns
in IBM PureApplication by integrating IBM Blue Box technology.”
• The above statement of direction was released just before
InterConnect 2016
• Version 2.2.2 of PureApplication includes support for Blue Box
OpenStack services as the foundation for the open patterns feature
• Using the open patterns support is optional, and requires a minimum
of 3 compute nodes to be dedicated to the feature
