Typical Issues

n Using base machine images differ depending upon the target environmentn Lack of control over software stacksn Base machine images may not be properly maintainedn Frequently people use packages from upstream which could possibly break on any build without

cachingn Deploying multi-node environments for testing can be difficult to automaten Enterprise requirements for repeatability and audit control difficult across test, pre-production and

production systems n Many manual processes – most automation tools still infrastructure-centric

Sharing

The DevOps culture shift is amplified with tools that give each stakeholder immediate value: UForge + AMP through:

Repeatable, reliable deployments of any system anywhere

Quantify what works. Test in hybrid cloud and multiple locations. Record performance.

Models of stacks and blueprints that everyone can understand, share, source control, reproduce, test and audit.
