Deploying applications to dynamic cloud environments

Before you begin

About this task

To deploy an application to a cloud environment, you create a generic process that sends an infrastructure component to a Weaver agent.

Procedure

  1. On the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server, go to the Processes tab. On this tab, you can create generic processes, which are processes that are not associated with any component or application.
  2. Click Create New Process.
  3. Give the process a name, such as Deploy application to cloud environment.
  4. On the Design tab for the process, add the weaver step to the process. This step is located in the Cloud > Weaver folder of the available steps.
  5. Give the step a name and specify the following parameters:
    Environment Name
    The name of the new environment to create. If you specify the name of an existing environment, this process updates the environment.
    Application Name
    The name of the application to deploy, as shown in the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server.
    Component Name
    The name of the infrastructure component to use.
    Component Version
    The version of the infrastructure component to use.
  6. Connect the step to the Start and Finish boxes in the process.
  7. Save the process.

Results

The complete process has only the Weaver step. It looks like the following figure:
The complete process, with the single Weaver step that creates the environment and deploys the application.

What to do next

Now you can deploy the application to a dynamic cloud environment by verifying the parameters in the step and then running the process.
