The landmark partnership between Apple and IBM announced in 2014 set the Internet abuzz. This partnership aims to spark true, mobile-led business change across the enterprise. In this talk, we’ll show you how IBM is using OpenStack, Heat, and DevOps to deploy the MobileFirst Platform for iOS enterprise solutions. We willl tell the story of how we used full-stack application patterns based on OpenStack Heat to provision environments with speed and reliability.

Continuous Delivery is hot. As we all increasingly compete using software, the business always wants more change faster. However, change is seen as risky. How do we deliver quickly while not exposing the business to excessive risk? What does this imply for how we update our mission critical databases? Successful continuous delivery efforts use quality as an enabler of rapid change. Rapid feedback on the quality of the application, and a disciplined, high quality process support frequent delivery of business value, rather than frequent outage. IBM UrbanCode’s Eric Minick and DBmaestro’s Yaniv Yehuda present how to build safety in to your delivery process. We will look at database change in some detail while delivering generally applicable lessons.

This presentation discusses how IBM UrbanCode Deploy can automate deployment across platforms from mainframe to mobile.
