Transform mission-critical applications for hybrid cloud environments with stability, security and agility
DevOps has transformed every stage of the application lifecycle. With standardized tools and processes, you can simplify and accelerate software innovation delivered through a consistent and more productive developer experience. IBM Z® can participate fully in these methodologies with DevOps for IBM Z.
Today, clients are embracing these technologies to:
- Rapidly innovate for new services and accelerate application modernization.
- Deliver consistently through an automated and integrated secure CI/CD pipeline across the enterprise.
- Include IBM Z in their hybrid cloud strategy to optimize workload deployment based on business needs.
What is DevOps?
What is DevOps? How does DevOps' culture and practices fit into the mainframe world? Rosalind Radcliffe explains why DevOps and the mainframe go together, and how taking advantage of DevOps' automation and modern ways of working can streamline your mainframe process.
