• Cloud is powering digital disruption – enabling businesses to
accelerate the pace of innovation.
• Executed well, this is driving rapid value creation and an ability to
seize market opportunities.

The Waston that competed on Jeopardy!
in 2011 comprised what
is now a single API—Q&A—built
on five underlying technologies.
Since then, Watson has grown to
a family of 28 APIs.
By the end of 2016, there will
be nearly 50 Watson APIs—
with more added every year.

PROS
• Simple to develop
• Simple to deploy
• Simple to test
CONS
• Large
• Long deployment times
• Difficult to scale

change
Monolithic Architecture

17. 17
• Componentized
• Organized around business
capabilities
• Decentralized data
• API communication
• Enables continuous delivery
• Embrace evolutionary
changes
• Designed for failure

• Their root causes can be
complex and affect different
number of users
• Reduce the likelihood of
correlated failures
• Recover quickly
• Proactive detection of problems
before they happen

Patterns of Resiliency
From “Release IT! Design and Deploy Production-Ready Software” by MichaelT Nygard

20. 20
Ø Simple services but complex distributed systems
Ø IT overhead
Ø Configuration management
Ø HA/DR for each service
Ø Capacity requirements are dramatically higher
Ø High degree of automation is required
Ø Asynchronous communication nature is difficult
Ø DevOps skills are a must
Microservices do have a cost

Docker Mission
Docker is an open platform for building distributed applications for
developers and system administrators.

• A read-only snapshot of a container stored in Docker Hub to be used as a template for
building containers
Container
• The standard unit in which the application service resides or transported
Docker Hub
• Available in SaaS or Enterprise to deploy anywhere you choose
• Stores, distributes and shares container images
Docker Engine
• A program that creates, ships and runs application containers
• Runs on any physical and virtual machine or server locally, in private or public cloud
• Client communicates with Engine to execute commands

Using the Bluemix platform and Bluemix services such
as the Delivery Pipeline, developers can quickly
automate the delivery of high quality changes with zero
downtime through Bluemix spaces all the way to
production (space).
Cloud Native Delivery
• High speed
• Microservices
• Developer driven
• Low operational
overhead
• Built-in DevOps
capabilities

32. 32
Cloud Enabled Delivery
• Multiple source control
systems drive builds in CI
that integrate with a multi-
platform deployment system
• SoR managed on-prem
using patterns
• Single pattern used for both
on-prem and off-prem
deployments

33. 33
Hybrid Cloud Application Delivery
• Pipelines to deliver
cloud-native
microservices
• Microservices connect
to SoR services via an
API and a Secure
Gateway
• Existing IT or cloud-
enabled pattern
exposed via API on-
premises

• Cloud is the driver for faster
Innovation
• Developers must be
operationally inclined with
DevOps skills to build effective
cloud applications
• Hybrid cloud is the norm delivery
