Abstract

Building a solid application delivery tool chain is no easy

task. The popularity of infrastructure configuration

management tools like Puppet, Chef, Salt and others are a

direct result of the explosion of virtual machines needing

to be maintained, configured and provisioned. Learn how

you can leverage these trends and combine infrastructure

configuration and release automation to build a enterprise

class continuous delivery solution for your business.

Lack of Coordination Results in Production Failures

1 Gartner, Four Steps to Optimize Configuration Management Process and Tools, Ronni Colville, October 31, 2013.

“Gartner believes that more than 80 percent of all mission-critical IT service outages result from people and process errors and failures, and of those outages, more than 50 percent result from a lack of coordination between change, release and configuration management processes.”


Challenges of Building a Continuous Delivery Tool Chain

100s, 1000s, 10,000s physical/virtual machines to provision and configure

Middleware, databases, load balancers

Applications with 100s of artifacts stored in multiple repositories

Short release cycles

Multiple releases per day/week/month


The Right Tool for the Job … Things to Consider

Continuous integration can deploy and test applications.

Infrastructure provisioning and configuration management tools claim continuous integration capabilities.

Release automation tools can provision environments.


Continuous Integration

Developers check code into a shared repository several times a day

Code is integrated and verified through an automated build process

Detects problems earlier in the cycle

Easier to correct, less back-tracking

Configuration Management

Dzone, “2014 Guide to Continuous Delivery Survey”

49% Use configuration management tools like Puppet, Chef and CFEngine

73% Still use manual scripts for at least half of their infrastructure changes


Infrastructure as Code/Configuration Management

Automate IT infrastructure tasks

Build, deploy and manage

Reduce risk of failure due to configuration issues

Ensures a known state before deploying applications into environment

Build/CIStore



Testing/Automated Testing

Build/CIStore


Automation with consistent processes and reusable test assests

Generate test cases once, reuse across devices and platforms

Functional testing, load testing, performance testing


Orchestrating the Tool Chain

PUSH-BUTTON SOFTWARE DEPLOYMENT ON-DEMAND

Orchestrate an end-to-end continuous delivery tool chain

Eliminate manual intervention by tightly integrating best-of-breed ALM solutions

Improve productivity and efficiency across all aspects of the application lifecycle

Results

Transformed release process to achieve previously untouched milestones

Deployed online business into eight different countries

Same team can now deliver eight or nine times the volume of releases
