IBM’s statements regarding its plans, directions, and intent
are subject to change or withdrawal without notice at IBM’s
sole discretion.
Information regarding potential future products is intended to
outline our general product direction and it should not be relied
on in making a purchasing decision.
The information mentioned regarding potential future products
is not a commitment, promise, or legal obligation to deliver
any material, code or functionality. Information about potential
future products may not be incorporated into any contract.
The development, release, and timing of any future features
or functionality described for our products remains at our sole

Performance is based on measurements and projections
using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment.
The actual throughput or performance that any user will
experience will vary depending upon many factors, including
considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in
the user’s job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage
configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no
assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve
results similar to those stated here.

18. Application model
Reliably capture application content and configuration
settings with versioning and traceability

19. Application environments
Define where components are deployed and capture configuration
settings per deployment environment for an application

20. Define automated processes for each application component
Each component
defines a series of
steps, backed by
plugin tasks or
custom scripts, to
deploy it

21. Quality assurance with automated gates
• Use Component Statuses and
Environment Gates where
possible
• Define statuses for all Apps
• Use REST API/CLI to
tag/approve Components or
Snapshots based on
automated verification
• Only components versions or
snapshots with tag can enter
the environment

25. Hybrid Cloud Deployments through a Single Point of Control
Manage application deployment across dev,
test, and production spanning multiple clouds
Key Points:
• Enable full stack deployments (OS, patterns
and applications) across hybrid cloud
applications
• Establish common DevOps pipelines with
plug points to support continuous delivery
