Codefresh vs. IBM DevOps Deploy

While deploying docker images on kubernetes pods I must say Codefresh helped me a lot. It has made my work easy as an Automation tool. I can setup a simple pipelines to automate my build for kubernetes. but for more complex pipelines Codefresh need some improvement

IBM UrbanCode Deploy is excellent for code deployments such as Java, .Net, C++, etc. It can also deploy and run SQLs reasonably well. Where it lacks is the ability for executables, Jars, WARs, EARs, etc.

• Continuous Integration and Continuous Development. we can setup jobs that automatically triggered when there is any changes in code and starts building up the build images automatically and then pushing images to Container Registry
• We can involve Version control system like github, bitbucket, gitlab etc for integration of Codefresh with our code stored in these Version control systems.
• On the failure of any jobs/pipeline Codefresh can also send Notification on our email.

Incentivized

• Visual deployment instructions.
• Inventory management of environments.
• Component configuration at a granular level with customization.

• With Codefresh it's become hard to handle complex pipelines
• Need to focus more on Documentation part
• UI can be more attractive
• Security can be more increased

• IBM UrbanCode Deploy does code deployments easy enough, but configurations or ex deployments are a little more complicated. I work on packaged systems, so most of the code I get is form a vendor that I have to deploy.
• IBM UebanCode Deploy integration into the mainframe world would be ideal. My company uses Mainframe and OpenSystems technologies, and many times there are dependencies between the deployments.

It's challenging to get a working knowledge of the product without having someone show you the ropes. Linking components with applications and applications with resource trees and resource trees with application deploys is not intuitive. However, once past that learning curve, the possibilities open up, and things become easier to understand and allow for further granularity.

I've not worked directly with IBM UrbanCode Deploy support. My DevOps team administers the environment and deals with that.

It's very scalable It is cost effective It easily get integrated with third party tools It easily get integrated with Kubernetes Docker.

• Positive:
• As an Automation tools I must say it has reduced manual labour , reduced errors and improved quality of work.
• It easily get integrated with third party tools which increases ease ness in our work
• Negative:
• Although being a very good tools in CI/CD
• It requires improvement in UI, it's speed, security, optimization.

Incentivized

• Push button deployments.
• Consistency and ability to focus on other tasks.
• Required quite a bit of upfront customization with certain web deployments (WebSphere, etc.)
• Opened the door to other types of deployments and other automation.
