Is your organization working to modernize its processes and applications? Are automation and using a standard toolset and process across the enterprise top of mind? Sounds like your organization is looking to step up its DevOps game! A key step to fully embracing DevOps is implementing a Continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipeline. If your organization is new to DevOps, we can help you learn and plan for your hybrid cloud DevOps environment. Our IBM Z DevOps product teams have been hard at work making this information accessible and digestible for you! We’ve updated and expanded our content solution pages on CI/CD. Content solution pages are the bridge between why it’s important and how point products work together as a solution to meet your business needs. We encourage you to check them out! 

Start here at the Continuous integration for the hybrid cloud developer experience content solution page. A snapshot of what you will learn is why continuous integration is integral to an organization’s development practice, and how an organization can employ IBM Z DevOps tools. Continuous integration using standard tooling will help your enterprise achieve higher business agility by improving release cycles and automating test environment configurations, all while safeguarding quality.

Once you’re familiar with Continuous integration, explore Continuous delivery and deployment. If continuous integration is a software development process in which developers integrate the new code they have written more frequently throughout the development cycle, then continuous deployment is a development practice where software is built in such a way that it can be released into production at any given time.

In addition to these content solution pages, we have content solution pages for other areas of the DevOps application lifecycle, such as automated testing and discovery & insight. By reading the content solution pages, you will understand the fully integrated solution from IBM and be directed to resources to get started.
