HCL DevOps Deploy

Automated, repeatable deployments of applications, middleware and database changes from development to production.

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.

Your starting point

Where is your team starting from?

Find the line closest to your team. Each one shows what changes with HCL DevOps Deploy.

Common starting points

  • Today: Deployments from scripts on someone’s laptop
    With HCL DevOps Deploy: One process for every environment
  • Today: Night-time release weekends
    With HCL DevOps Deploy: Deployments on schedule or on demand
  • Today: Approvals by e-mail
    With HCL DevOps Deploy: Approvals and gates in the tool

As your program grows

  • Today: Nobody knows what runs where
    With HCL DevOps Deploy: Inventory of versions per environment
  • Today: Rollback means rebuilding by hand
    With HCL DevOps Deploy: Rollback to a previous version in a few clicks
  • Today: Mainframe and cloud released separately
    With HCL DevOps Deploy: One release across mainframe, VMs and containers

Already on HCL DevOps Deploy

  • Today: Servers to install and patch
    With HCL DevOps Deploy: HCL SaaS, or on premises with upgrades run by SmarterProcess
  • Today: Licenses bought years ago, never reviewed
    With HCL DevOps Deploy: A license mix sized from real usage

Capabilities

What your team can do with HCL DevOps Deploy

Deployment processes you draw, not script

Drag steps from hundreds of plugins onto a process: stop a service, deploy files, update a database, run tests. The same process runs on development, test and production, so production is never the first try.

FAQ

Questions we hear before an HCL DevOps Deploy project

Is HCL DevOps Deploy the same as IBM UrbanCode Deploy?

It grew from it. HCL took over development of UrbanCode Deploy, named it HCL Launch and then HCL DevOps Deploy. Applications, processes and agents carry over in an upgrade.

How do we upgrade from UrbanCode Deploy or HCL Launch?

We back up the server, check plugins and custom processes on a copy, upgrade the server and then the agents. Deployments keep running during the move.

Do we still need Jenkins, GitLab or Azure DevOps?

Yes, for builds. DevOps Deploy takes the build result and deploys it with the same process to every environment.

Can it deploy to the mainframe and to Kubernetes?

Yes. Agents run on z/OS, Linux, Windows and in Kubernetes, so one release can cover all of them.

What is new in version 8.2?

Version 8.2 adds Deployment Genie, an AI assistant in the product, and an MCP server that lets AI tools work with DevOps Deploy under your permissions. 8.2.2 from June 2026 is the current release.

Can we prove to auditors who deployed what?

Yes. Every deployment records the version, the environment, the approvals and the person who started it. Reports show the history per application.
