The cloud is critical for software

development today!

Scalableto meet modern demands

Offering best tools for the job

Flexible

Concentrate on

developmentnot on the hardware

But software consists of many

components

And goes through many stages

on its way to production

Developer laptop

Development network

Testing environment

Live in production

Each phase is like planting a

garden!

All those components need to be carefully

configured for the environment

What you need is a ‘plant pot’

you can move around

Portable

Shielded

Adaptable

Enter the world of Linux cloud

containers!

Containers are isolated, but share OS and, where appropriate, bins/libraries

Faster deployment

Less overhead

Easier migration

=

Example: Docker on SoftLayer

with Rational

Develop for private, hybrid or public cloud,

using software development lifecycle tools
