This IBM® Redbooks® publication provides an example approach for an agile IT team to implement DevOps capabilities in their software delivery of a Java application. We introduce several tools that show how teams can achieve transparency, traceability, and automation in their application lifecycle to all of the stakeholders to deliver a high-quality application that meets its initial requirements. The application that is built highlights the composable and dynamic nature of the Liberty run time. The Liberty run time helps developers to get their applications up and running quickly by using only the programming model features that are required for their applications. The target audience for this book is IT developers, IT managers, IT architects, project managers, test managers, test developers, operations managers, and operations developers.

This IBM® Redbooks® Solution Guide describes the benefits of Java development using IBM WebSphere® Application Server Liberty (Liberty) in a DevOps manner. The guide shows using a number of IBM and non-IBM tools that can be used throughout the application lifecycle management (ALM).

Businesses are always looking for ways to improve the customer experience. They need to connect with existing and new customers in innovative ways and deliver experiences that never disappoint.

IBM® WebSphere® Application Server on cloud (WebSphere on cloud) helps businesses like yours take advantage of the cloud as a strategic environment to realize various benefits: Reduce costs by optimizing the entire application-related infrastructure. Create opportunities by rapidly creating and integrating cloud-based applications. Reap more value from existing applications by augmenting them with cloud services. Deliver compelling customer experiences across all channels. Speed time to market at a lower cost through rapid creation and deployment of APIs and microservices. Increase brand reach or drive new revenue by publishing APIs externally. Drive innovation by enhancing your Java applications with IBM Bluemix® services. Optimize existing workloads by lifting and shifting them unchanged to the cloud in just minutes, allowing you to take advantage of fast and flexible provisioning, and pay-as-you-go pricing. This IBM Redbooks® RedguideTM publication introduces the WebSphere on cloud capabilities and highlights key concepts that are associated with this IBM WebSphere offering. The guide discusses the business value offered by WebSphere on cloud, provides a high-level architectural view, and explains three common entry points (Create, Connect, and Optimize) to cloud. The guide also identifies the IBM products that play important roles in those entry points. It includes real-world examples of how customers are using WebSphere on cloud to resolve business challenges and enhance return on investment (ROI).

DevOps is a cultural and professional movement that's trying to break these walls. Focused on automation, collaboration, tool sharing and knowledge sharing, DevOps has been revealing that developers and system engineers have a lot to learn from one another. In this book, Danilo Sato will show you how to implement DevOps and Continuous Delivery practices so as to raise your system's deployment frequency at the same time as increasing the production application's stability and robustness. You will learn how to automate a web application's build and deploy phases and the infrastructure management, how to monitor the system deployed to production, how to evolve and migrate an architecture to the cloud and still get to know several other tools that you can use on your company

This IBM® Redbooks® publication explains the capabilities of IBM WebSphere® Application Server Liberty profile (Liberty profile), which is lightweight, easy to install, and fast to use. Liberty profile provides a convenient and capable platform for developing and testing your web and OSGi applications. The Liberty profile server is built by using OSGi technology and concepts. The fit-for-purpose nature of the run time relies on the dynamic behavior that is inherent in the OSGi framework and service registry. As bundles are installed or uninstalled from the framework, their services are automatically added or removed from the service registry. The result is a dynamic, composable run time that can be provisioned with only what your application requires and responds dynamically to configuration changes as your application evolves. This book can help you install, customize, and configure several popular open source technologies that can be deployed effectively with the Liberty profile server. The following popular open source toolkits for the Liberty profile server were selected for this book based on the significant enhancements they provide to the web application development process: Apache Maven Spring Framework Hibernate Jenkins Opscode Chef Arquillian MongoDB In this book, the Todo sample demonstrates the use of multiple open source frameworks or toolkits with the Liberty profile server, including Maven, MongoDB, Spring, JPA, Arquillian, Wicket, and others. The Todo sample is a simple application that can be used to create, update, and delete todo items and todo lists, and put the todo items into a related todo list.
