This document discusses automating the deployment of WebSphere Message Broker environments using RapidDeploy. Some key benefits of automation include reducing effort, improving productivity, accelerating growth by releasing additional scalability, eliminating errors to minimize downtime, and expediting time to value. The demonstration shows RapidDeploy running on Windows deploying a Message Broker binary to a Linux VM, creating and deploying environments, taking snapshots, cloning an environment, deploying changes, and comparing snapshots. Automation helps address challenges of manual deployments, composite deployments, upgrades, and providing a consistent framework.

Benefits Achieved from Automation Benefit Average Improvement Maximum Improvement Increase speed of software builds 87% >140% Increase in frequency of software releases 60% >140% Reduction in software errors 25% 40-60% Increase in ability to meet compliance requirements 63% >140% Increase in ability to meet deadlines 40% 60-80% Increase in developer productivity 30% 40-60% Decrease in hardware or resources 88% 100-120% Development cost savings 25% 60-80% Increase in developer job satisfaction 38% 60-80% (Source: Hurwitz & Associates, 2011)
- 5. Why Automate the Deployment Process? 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 To increase team productivity To improve development process reliability To reduce software dev and/or operations costs To improve governance To improve audit capability To provide an integrated deployment lifecycle To improve the scheduling capability To provide a comprehensive view of the dev/delivery process (Source: Hurwitz & Associates, 2011)

Editor's Notes
- #2: With continuous delivery we are aiming to create effectively a manufacturing production line – ideally a one-click deployment process.With WebSphere Message Broker we create a continuous integration loop of developments feeding into the deployment.
