Integration with VMware VRealize


VMware vRealize Automation and UrbanCode Deploy


VMware vRealize Automation (vRA) and UrbanCode Deploy

– UrbanCode Deploy Blueprint Designer integration with vRA• Design Heat blueprints that comprise:

– vCenter infrastructure (vSphere machines, network profiles)– vRA software components– UCD software components

• Heat blueprints are converted into vRA blueprints– Published to vRA catalog– Deployment requested via Heat extensions– vRA-managed vCenter infrastructure provisioning– UCD-managed application deployment


VMware vRealize Automation (vRA) and UrbanCode Deploy

– UrbanCode Deploy Blueprint Designer integration with vRA (cont.)

• Windows and Linux support

• Portability with other cloud providers via heat extensions– Provision same blueprint on vRA, SoftLayer, OpenStack, et.al.

• First class python API for vRA

• Numerous UCD blueprint designer UI optimizations around vRA design

Application Process and Snapshot Support

– Solution

• Provide optional ability in UCD Blueprint Designer to execute an application process– UCD Blueprint Designer builds resource tree in UCD with component structure– Application process executed instead of individual component processes

• Provide optional ability to execute against an application snapshot– When executing an application process, inventory data (versions, processes, etc.) are derived from the

snapshot, and not the blueprint

• Blueprint Designer UI enhancements– Select application process and/or snapshot at design time– Live feedback to verify blueprint contains the correct components for the specified application process

– Result

• You can now fully provision their environment with UCD blueprint via an application process• Snapshot information can be captured and leveraged in subsequent provisioning of the same

blueprint


Middleware deployments and configuration management


IIS – Configure Plugin (Beta)

• Capabilities:

• Visually manage and deploy multiple IIS configurations

• Version control configurations using UCD component versioning

• Deploy IIS sites, applications, application pools or the entire web server to new environments

• Tokenize configurations to allow customized deployments to different environments using UrbanCode Deploy properties

• Currently in Beta: https://developer.ibm.com/urbancode/plugin/iis-configure/

Overview: New Jenkins Plugin

Jenkins 2.0 brings support for configuration of pipelines as code. The new UrbanCode Deploy plugin for Jenkins pipelines provides support for multiple deployments in a single flow, providing enhanced visibility into dev/test environments, and the ability to leverage snapshots and approvals (as well as HA and security) for an enterprise.
