You can provision environments dynamically by creating
an infrastructure component for an application. Then, you create a
process that provisions the environment and runs application processes
on that environment.
Before you begin
Creating environments in this way requires one of the following
cloud systems:
- IBM® Workload Deployer
- IBM SmartCloud® Provisioning
- IBM PureApplication™ System
About this task
Dynamically creating an environment happens in the following
steps:
- You run a generic process that sends the infrastructure component
to the Weaver agent.
- The Weaver agent provisions cloud resources based on the Weaver
files in the infrastructure component.
- The Weaver agent installs agents on the cloud resources.
- The Weaver agent creates an environment on the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server
that is bound to the cloud resources.
- The Weaver agent binds the application components to the cloud
resources based on the information in the infrastructure component.
- The IBM UrbanCode Deploy server
runs application processes on the environment to deploy the application.
