Would you like to provision a complete, fully configured DevOps environment with a single request? Or to get your application deployed automatically, in any cloud, everytime you commit a source edit? A powerful demo of how quick you can get it with CloudCenter: a single click to get a new source code repository (e.g. SVN, GitLab), a Jenkins orchestrator, an artifact repository (e.g. JFrog Artifactory or a web server) deployed and integrated end to end. After it’s done, we’ll see how the CI/CD process uses CloudCenter itself to deploy a web application on any cloud.

Cisco CloudCenter:
DevOps in a multicloud environment
Luca Relandini @lucarelandini

2. The single, resource for everything ‘developer’ at Cisco.
It’s the one-stop place to find technical
resources for Cisco APIs, be inspired by other’s
applications, and connect with other developers

4. • You are all familiar with DevOps, I’m
not telling the story one more time J
• We’ll see how easily CI/CD can be
implemented
• Demo application: PetClinic
• Remote lab from the Cisco Rome office
• Two use cases:
• Create a CI/CD environment
• Deploy every new build automatically in
the right target

... But governance?Flexibility and speed
IT needs to offer same
freedom and agility as
the public cloud

6. An orchestration solution for the enterprise
Can broker resources
from any cloud
(public and private)
Simple and flexible access,
but with control
Self service for developers,
cloud agnostic orchestration
Can automate the
deployment of any
software application
(to any cloud)
Centralized control – but easy access
for developers and no process burden

7. Build Automation Is Generally Mature

15. Project B workspace
Use Case – create a development environment
Project A workspace
Optionally an Openstack environment (e.g. devstack) can be created in the workspace

Use Case – create a development environment
(with shared repositories)

17. 1. Create a CI/CD environment automatically
• SVN
• Jenkins
• Artifactory
• All components integrated end-to-end (also with CloudCenter)
2. Deploy a java application (in any cloud target): PetClinic
• A VM with Tomcat is deployed and connected
• Latest build is deployed from Artifactory
3. Continuous Deployment
• Commit a source code change in SVN and trigger the process
