The document discusses strategies for enhancing continuous delivery in cloud environments, highlighting the differences between traditional IT and cloud-native deployments. It emphasizes the importance of automation, full-stack deployments, and integration of DevOps pipelines to support agile development across hybrid cloud architectures. Key tools and practices include IBM Bluemix, OpenStack, and Docker for managing application lifecycles efficiently.

5. Achieving Continuous Delivery on Cloud
Infrastructure as a
Service
• Combination of base
virtual machines and
automation to achieve
consistency
• Spectrum: Deploy as
minimal image +
complete automation
or snapshot built
image
Container-based
Deployments
• Neither true IaaS or PaaS
• Offers unique value to
standardize key parts of
your architecture
• Easy to build and deploy
• May require a different
architecture and
deployment approach
than you’re used
Platform as a Service
• Platform provides
simple deployment
methods and
consistency across
environments
• Extensible for various
application runtimes

6. 5
Supporting Multi-Speed IT
• SoE pipelines support rapid
delivery of microservices all
the way to production
• SoR pipeline coordinates
delivery of multiple
components across multiple
platforms
• SoR services exposed to
SoR microservices via an API
over a secure gateway
