 Throughput of each process must be the equal in order to avoid backlogs.
 When preceding process is upgraded to a higher throughput, subsequent processes
must be upgraded to the same higher throughput in order to maintain balance.

Deploying cloud environments still slow and manual
 Takes many hours to days to deploy virtual environments and requires multiple
specialists to collaborate and coordinate
–Provisioning infrastructure and configuring network, storage and compute
–Installing and configuring Middleware (Application Server, Database)
–Installing user application and application data
 Reduced productivity of Developers and Testers due to slow availability of test
environments
 Slow delivery of applications to production environments
Manual coordination to provision infrastructure, install and configure middleware and
deploy application

• What are our clients saying about
their needs?
• What’s the right level of control vs.
flexibility for my use cases?
• What cloud does IBM recommend
for Infrastructure as a Service?
What should you know about cloud?

What our clients are saying about deploying cloud environments
Application Workloads include Infrastructure, Middleware and Applications
• I want to manage these holistically
• Different people have expertise in each area
• I have different automation tools for each layer
Let me choose when to re-provision and when to update
• Sometimes I want to test in a transient environment
• Other times I want to deploy changes into an existing environment, especially
production
Don’t make me pick a cloud
• Different workloads have different homes
• I want to be able to test in one cloud, and run production in another

OpenStack Heat provides cloud resource orchestration
 Provides a way to represent infrastructure from
OpenStack
 Recently added support for client-side automation
through Shell, Chef, or Puppet
 Defined a new Domain Specific Language for
templates: Heat Orchestration Template (HOT)
format
 Supports updating existing environments in place

• Why aren’t my application changes
moving into production as quickly
as they moved into my QA
environments?
• How can the roles involved in
delivery, work together with greater
efficiency and speed?
How does this new technology impact
my business?

The adoption of DevOps =>
increased velocity of application
delivery
Puts pressure on the
infrastructure to respond more
quickly
Software Defined Environments
enable you to capture
infrastructure as a software
artifact
Deploying infrastructure changes is the current bottleneck for delivery
