Go from zero to running
code in a matter of
minutes.
Automate the development
and delivery of many
applications.
To rapidly bring
products and services to
market at lower cost
To continuously deliver
new functionality to their
applications
To extend existing
investments in IT
infrastructure
Extend existing investments by
connecting securely to on-premise
infrastructure.

9. An open platform-as-a-service (PaaS)
Supports multiple frameworks, multiple application infrastructure
services and deployment to multiple clouds.
Importance of Open Standards
Cloud Foundry

10. Bluemix builds upon
Cloud Foundry as an
open source platform
and extends it with
IBM, third party and
community built
services.

15. Tour of Bluemix

16. Introduction to Bluemix Portal: Dashboard
– The Bluemix portal employs different tabs for developers’ ease of access.
– Each of these tabs enables access to what Bluemix has to offer, as follows:
 “Dashboard” provides access to all your current projects, services, and containers and
enables you to create more.

17. Introduction to Bluemix Portal: Solutions
 “Solutions” introduces you to the different services and APIs that you can create via
Bluemix and states their uses.

18. Introduction to Bluemix Portal: Catalog
 “Catalog” allows you access to all the available IBM and third-party services, images,
and ready-made packages.

19. Containers
Key Capabilities
• Easily deploy single containers or scalable groups
• Assign public and private networking for container communication
• Manage containers with integrated monitoring, logging, and auto-recovery
• Utilize the native Docker CLI
• Integrate with DevOps pipelines for developer productivity
Containers allow portability and consistency regardless of where they are run—be
it on bare metal servers in Bluemix, your company's data center, or on your
laptop. Easily spin up images from our public hub or your own private registry.

20. Introduction to Bluemix Portal: Pricing
 “Pricing” indicates the price of the different services provided by Bluemix.

21. Introduction to Bluemix Portal: Docs
 “Docs” employs documentation and guides on the specifics of each Bluemix API and
how to use and link them.

22. Introduction to Bluemix Portal: Community
 “Community” utilizes many resources including step-by-step tutorials, videos, and
developer communities to teach you how to develop and deploy applications on
Bluemix.

23. Getting Started

24. Hands on Lab 1:
Deploying your first application
Using Eclipse IDE

25. Getting Started: Installing Eclipse Bluemix Plugin
– Run Eclipse EE
– Navigate to the Help tab and choose “Eclipse Marketplace”
– Search for “IBM Eclipse Tools for Bluemix”
– Click “Install”
– Once the installation is complete, restart Eclipse.

26. Getting Started: Creating a Web Application
This part is simple and straightforward. All you have to do is:
– Sign in to your Bluemix account in www.bluemix.net
– To run and deploy applications, you need a space to place them. To create a space,
choose “Create a Space” at the left edge of the Bluemix Dashboard.
– You will be prompted to choose a unique name for the space.
– Once done, click on “Create”

27. Getting Started: Creating a Web Application
– Under “Cloud Foundry Apps”, choose “CREATE APP”.
– Choose “WEB”
– The runtime for this part going to be Java, so select “Liberty for Java”

28. Getting Started: Downloading Sample Code
– Create a unique name for your web application.
– While your application is staging, download the starter code.

29. Getting Started: Exploring Sample Project Files
– Open the compressed sample application and view its files.
– This sample application demonstrates how to write a Java Web application and deploy it
on Bluemix.
– The Java Web starter application contains the following contents:
 webstarterapp.war:
This WAR file is actually the application itself. It is the only file that'll be pushed to and
run on the Bluemix cloud. Every time your application code is updated, you'll need to
regenerate this WAR file and push to Bluemix again.
 WebContent/:
This directory contains the client side code (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) of your
application as well as compiled server side java classes and necessary JAR libraries.
 src/:
This directory contains the server side Java code of your application. In this simple
starter application, there's only one class: 'com.ibm.cloudoe.samples.HelloResource'
 build.xml:
This file allows you to easily build your application using Ant.

30. Getting Started: Deploying Sample Code from Eclipse
– In Eclipse, navigate to “File” then to “Import”.
– Select “General” and “Existing Projects into Workspace”.
– Press “Next”

31. Getting Started: Deploying Sample Code from Eclipse
– Choose “Select archive file” and browse for your downloaded code.
– Once you have selected the file, press “Finish” button.

32. Getting Started: Deploying Sample Code from Eclipse
– Navigate to “File”, then “New”, and choose “Other”.
– Select “Server” then press “Next”

33. Getting Started: Creating a Web Application
– Look for “IBM” and choose “IBM Bluemix”
– Once you login with your IBM ID credentials, double click the
project you want to work on and press the “Finish” button.
– From now on, you can add projects by using the mouse right-
click button on your server and choosing “Add and Remove”.
– Note: If you have any problems, try removing and
re-adding the application.
– Also you may need to re-configure the manifest.yml file to point
to a different host name as it could be taken by your first app!

34. Getting Started: Creating a Web Application
– Once the application gets added, simply right click its entry under
the Bluemix server and choose “Push”.
– Wait until your application gets pushed into the cloud. Once the push is complete, you can
view your web application by right clicking the application entry under the Bluemix server
and choosing “Open Home Page”.

35. Getting Started: Creating a Web Application
– Congratulations, your web application has been deployed!

36. Hands on Lab 1:

55. Focusing on Lean Challenges
MonitoringPlanning
Stovepipe portfolio plans
with little project
feedback
Document driven
waterfall development
practices
Scheduled deliveries, manual
integrations and periodic builds
are resource intensive
Backlog of errors and
integration challenges in
SIT and QA
Deployment and provisioning
processes produce inconsistent
environments inducing errors
Little to no feedback from
monitoring and instrumentation
into development
55

56. Reasoning about Lean in DevOps
 Where do we spend our time in Software Delivery?
– % of time Before Coding, Coding, Post-Coding
– What activities are delayed or causing other delays
 % of time spent in activities, manual versus automated tasks, independent
versus dependent tasks
Industry trends, organizational expectations, current benchmarks
 What to about my excess/error?
– Capability (Practices, People, Technology) improvements
– Practices: Add, Change or Delete what I am doing
– Use a common framework across enterprise / LOBs
