Perform DevOps on IBM Cloud

IntermediateGuided Project

In this guided project, you will explore DevOps services in IBM Cloud, focusing on IBM Cloud Continuous Delivery. You will explore how to build, test, and deliver applications in IBM Cloud by using DevOps practices and industry-leading tools. You will practice using the Eclipse Orion Web integrated development environment (IDE) to make changes to your application and deploy updates to IBM Cloud.

About this Guided Project
DevOps is a software methodology that integrates application development and information technology (IT) operations. With a DevOps approach, both teams work together to support the software lifecycle from code design to deployment to production. DevOps enables continuous delivery, which reduces time to market and cost. With IBM Cloud Continuous Delivery you canbuild, test, and deliver applications by using DevOps practices and industry-leading tools.

In this guided project you will discover how to create a Node.js application in IBM Cloud, use IBM Cloud Continuous Delivery to create a Git repository, set up a delivery pipeline, edit code in the Eclipse Orion Web integrated development environment (IDE), and build, deploy, and test your application in IBM Cloud. Node.js is a server-side programming framework that uses JavaScript as its programming language. You will work with the access management features that you can use to make the application available to other users. You will explore three useful ways to update your application from the Web IDE and see how Continuous Delivery automatically deploys updates from your Git repository.

This guided project will give you a great start in using DevOps and Git to build, deploy, and update a cloud application.

A Look at the Project Ahead
Once you have completed this project, you'll be able to:
  • Enable your application to use IBM Cloud Continuous Delivery
  • Create a Git repository to manage your source code
  • View and edit code in the Eclipse Orion Web integrated development environment (IDE)
  • Build and deploy code to IBM Cloud
  • Test the application in IBM Cloud

What You’ll Need
Just a web browser and an IBM Cloud account!

Everything else is provided to you on IBM Cloud, where you will have access to the IBM Cloud Continuous Delivery service.

David Pasternak

Skills Network Data Scientist Intern

As early as I could remember, I was obsessed with figuring out how things work. Unfortunately for my parents, this often meant taking things apart to see what was inside and not being able to put it back together again, or putting copper wires into electrical outlets to see what would happen (to spare you from trying it yourself, it turns out the result is very bright and loud). This sometimes dangerous curiosity would eventually turn into a passion for physics which I would go on to study at the University of Toronto. I loved the process of gathering data, analyzing it, looking for patterns, and coming to a conclusion. I soon discovered that much of the procedures used to understand our physical universe follow a similar pattern in other aspects and domains of our world. This led me into the path of data science, where we could leverage our curiosity, analytical skillset, and love of discovery to come up with solutions to real world problems. I was hooked and I knew this joy of discovery is best shared. This put me on a mission to make the wonders of data science available to anyone and everyone who wished to learn it, thankfully made all the more accessible with the meteoric rise of online learning.
