Continuous delivery, the ultimate competitive

differentiator in an application-driven world—Enterprise

continuous delivery is helping companies leverage agile

development methodologies to achieve the results that

DevOps promises. Learn how others have integrated their

application delivery tool chain to improve

time-to-market, improve release quality and reduce costs.

Do you believe your organization

has achieved continuous delivery?

1 DZone from their “2014 Guide to Continuous Delivery” research report

27% Yes, for some

projects

59% No

14% Yes


Where did continuous delivery come from?


High-performing organizations are deploying code 30 times more frequently, with 50 percent fewer failures than their lower-performing counterparts.1

A survey of more than 9,000

participants found that firms with high-performing application delivery organizations were twice

as likely to exceed their profitability, market share and

productivity goals.1

Challenges


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

Challenges of Building a Continuous Delivery Tool Chain


Continuous Delivery—The Journey Towards DevOps

Culture, People, Process

Competing priorities - Speed vs. stability

Breaking down silos

Creating common goals and expectations - Providing transparency

Business-focused teams

Enterprise scale

Automation


Manage Release Pipeline

Release planning

Scheduling

Execution

Reporting

Key performance indicators visible across the organization


Dev 1

Dev 2

Dev 3

Artifacts Test Acceptance Production

Continuous, “zero touch” standardized application release deployment

Master release management

Release intake

Automating the Promotion Path from Dev to Prod

Plan, schedule, approve, execute, promote

Efficient use of release components across applications and environments - Drives consistency, repeatability and reuse for ease-of-use and optimal user experience

Pre-defined workflows that can be used across all deployments

Automatically promote release to the next stage in cycle: DEV—UAT—PROD

Orchestration


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

Automate and Orchestrate Application Release

Environment

Test Promote Deploy Configure Provision

Success


Major Healthcare Customer

!

Business demanding weekly releases to multiple environments

Lacked pipeline visibility and engagement with delivery team

No coordination between build management and release management

Agility was demanded but could not be delivered

Team capabilities were viewed as an impediment


Created an Atmosphere of: “Whatever it is—it’s possible!”

Results Release on-demand—Multiple releases per day

Increased number of weekly deployments by 300 percent

Reduced team responsible for releases from 15 people to one

Spurred collaboration between development and build teams

Visibility and transparency enabled trust between key teams/stakeholders
