Responding to digital disruption requires delivering software at cloud-speed. You're likely already feeling the pressure of a hyper-competitive marketplace, and you want to win. Your goal is to deliver apps to that make your users happy and excited about your brand and products, but how do you do that? Delivering quickly means leaving automation across applications and infrastructure as a wholistic approach to development, test, and operations. At IBM, we've made it easy to extend your existing VMware platform onto IBM Cloud - from provisioning new VMware clusters with vRealize Automation management all the way through deploying and operating your applications using IBM UrbanCode Deploy, the market leading DevOps release automation provider. We'll show you how to optimize existing app delivery processes without significantly re-architecting what you're running today. This talk and demonstration will show how infrastructure and application automation come together on the IBM Cloud platform to provide high degrees of automation to your infrastructure and application lifecycle management. We will demonstrate how the creation of infrastructure automation can be done seamlessly onto the Cloud Foundation platform with direct UrbanCode integration into vRealize. Come take a look and ask your questions, and hopefully come away with a game plan to improve your delivery process today.

VMware on IBM Cloud
IBM and VMware Partnership
A global partnership that enables
customers to accelerate enterprise
hybrid cloud adoption by extending
their existing workloads as they
are from on-premises data centers
to IBM Cloud.
IBM Cloud provides customers the ability to more easily and quickly move
VMware workloads to the cloud through a common platform for
management, networking, and security.
Key components:
- IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers
- VMware vSphere, NSX and VSAN
- Automated deployment and lifecycle management
Key benefits:
- Flexible consumption model (OpEx spend, month-to-month rental)
- Single-tenant environment
- Optimized and validated cloud platform design
- Global footprint of nearly 50 data centers worldwide with an
interconnected network infrastructure

11. IBM UrbanCode for ApplicationRelease Automation
Drive down cost
Reduce amount of manual labor, resource wait-time,andrework by
eliminating errors & providingself-serviceenvironments
Speed time to market
Increase frequency of softwaredelivery throughautomated, repeatable
deploymentprocesses across development, test and production
Reduce risk
Robust configurationmanagement, coordinatedreleaseprocesses, audits,
and traceability
Enabling clients to continuously deliver applications with high quality and low risk
IBM UrbanCode Build is a continuous integrationandbuildmanagement server optimized
for the enterprise,designed tomake it easy to scaletheconfigurationand managementof
build infrastructureandseamlessly plugin to development, testingand release tooling.
IBM UrbanCode Deploy enables hybridcloudby automatingthe deployment of
applications, databases, configurations and containers into development, test and production
on prem or in the cloud, helping todrive downcost,speed time to market with reducedrisk.
With full-stack environment management and deployment automation,users to design,
deploy and updatefull-stack environments for multiple clouds, including Bluemix, Softlayer,
AWS, Azure, and virtualizedenvironments.
IBM UrbanCode Release is an intelligent collaboration releasemanagement solutionthat
replaces error-pronemanual spreadsheets andstreamlines releaseactivitiesfor application
and infrastructure changes.

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

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

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

15. 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

16. Deployment of Applications across EnvironmentsApplications are

• UrbanCode Deploy Blueprint Designer
integration with vRA
– Design Heat blueprints that include:
• vCenter infrastructure (vSphere machines, network
profiles)
• vRA software components
• UCD software components
– Heat blueprints are converted into vRA
blueprints
• Published to vRA catalog
• Deployment requested via Heat extensions
• vRA-managed vCenter infrastructure provisioning
• UCD-managed application deployment

21. Hybrid Cloud Deployments through a Single Point of Control
Manage application deployment across dev,
