Design and Deploy Full-Stack Cloud Environments with IBM UrbanCode Deploy

In this course, you learn how to administer the cloud through both the blueprint designer and the Horizon user interface.

IBM UrbanCode Deploy is a tool for standardizing and simplifying the process of deploying software components to each environment in your development cycle. When you use blueprints for OpenStack-based clouds, you can use a full-stack approach to simultaneously model the application and infrastructure layers of your deployment. This course shows you how to use IBM UrbanCode Deploy in a cloud environment.

Hands-on exercises use IBM UrbanCode Deploy in a cloud environment and cover integrations with an OpenStack back end and IBM UrbanCode Deploy, modeling the cloud infrastructure and application layers, provisioning environments from blueprints, creating and using configuration files, updating a running environment, and using Git repositories to store and manage blueprints.
