Overview
Start automating deployments in two days
IBM UrbanCode Deploy (uDeploy) is now HCL DevOps Deploy (formerly HCL Launch). In this 2-day course, you will learn how to plan and automate the deployment of applications to test environments using IBM UrbanCode Deploy.
IBM Deploy is a tool to standardize and simplify the process of deploying software components to any environment in your development lifecycle. This is a beginner course for new users of IBM UCD (udeploy), such as administrators, development teams, and operations managers. The hands-on exercises will use IBM UrbanCode Deploy and cover the deployment of a simple web application. You will create components, create an application that contains those components, and then deploy the components to an environment.
By the end of this workshop, participants will know how to automate the process of deploying applications to test or production environments using the tool IBM UrbanCode Deploy. The product is a tool that standardizes and simplifies the process of deploying software components in a delivered environment. The course is designed as an introduction, but also covers advanced topics so that more experienced users of the product get their money's worth.
