Infrastructure, Automation Configuration Management with Cooked Chef Recipes
Enable Enterprise Workflow Application – In Minutes
A single-click to provision new environments. The promise of unified communications has been challenging to achieve for most enterprises. Extensive deployment cycles, infrastructure locked in in silos and increasingly complex tools for diverse applications have virtually negated out the productivity benefits by straining IT departments and at the same time increasing the overall TCO.
Challenges
To create IBM BPM & ODM environments, hand written shell scripts are used to install packages, configure WebSphere to create a multi-clustered environment, setup database connectivity, connect to LDAP, and deploy logging applications. The following are the challenges to configure infrastructure automation:
- Complex application delivery
- Overall environment of about 20 environments needs to be created with 2,3, or 4 servers per environment
- Manage physical and virtual servers with custom scripts
- Dozens of servers needed to be bootstrapped and configured
- Improvements needed in Change Management to shorten the software development lifecycle
