IBM Bluemix Garage Method site expands cloud-native DevOps architecture tutorials

IBM Corp. just announced the addition of cloud-native DevOps architecture tutorials and code samples for toolchains on the company’s Bluemix Garage Method website.

IBM is looking to give businesses integrating DevOps — the practice of closing the gap between development and operations teams by emphasizing collaboration and automation — a top-down organizational view of how BlueMix can be used to build cloud-native apps. Bluemix is an implementation of IBM’s Open Cloud Architecture that uses Cloud Foundry to enable the rapid prototyping, deployment and management of cloud applications.

The “Accelerating innovation with cloud-native” page has been changed to include related DevOps architecture and toolchain diagrams and quick-start applications for the cloud.

The updated page includes an interactive quick-reference diagram of the architecture, which guides developers and management through a visualized explanation of how implementations emerge. The diagram includes flow between different modules including “Runtime and containers,” “Monitoring and metrics,” “Alert notifications,” “Build, test and continuous integration,” “Deployment orchestration” and many other milestones in the DevOps toolchain.

After the DevOps team has gotten an understanding of the top level DevOps architecture and it’s time to get down to developing code, the pages also provide sample code. For example, immediately available is a DevOps Tutorial Toolchain sample code set. For more advanced work, developers can also find tutorial code for a “Sample toolchain” and for “Cloud-native toolchain for microservices.”

The above toolchain contains everything needed and extendable sample application code written in Node.js Express 4. In the tutorial, developers will also learn how to configure the toolchain and use cloud-native development with DevOps Services on Bluemix.

IBM also announced plans to continue expanding the Bluemix cloud implementation pages with further guided tutorials on how to use these toolchains, tools and practices in order to develop enterprise-ready solutions.
