Overview
What is HCL DevOps Deploy?
HCL DevOps Deploy, formerly HCL Launch and IBM UrbanCode Deploy, automates how applications move from build to production. Every deployment follows the same process, on every environment, with approvals and a full history.
Applications are made of components, and each component has its own deployment process. Agents on servers, virtual machines, mainframes and Kubernetes clusters carry the process out.
Release calendars, approvals and audit history show who deployed what, where and when. Version 8.2 adds an AI assistant, Deployment Genie, and an MCP server for AI tools.
Teams drag steps from hundreds of plugins onto a process: stop a service, deploy files, update a database, run tests. Jenkins, GitLab or Azure DevOps keep doing the builds, and HCL DevOps Deploy takes the result from there. Applications, processes and agents carry over in an upgrade from IBM UrbanCode Deploy.
