Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using it for migrating work loads into the Cloud.

Pros and Cons

Gives the scale we need
Bundled with Dev Ops it becomes easier to deploy and operate
Gives us the portability across cloud providers

Dev Ops reference templates are not available for organizations to quickly adopt
Organizations want to focus on developing business features but wanted a pipeline which takes the code all the way to deployment without much human intervention. Wanted to see quick set up of Kubernetes platform along with Dev Ops capabilities as Service.

Return on Investment

Positive impacts : enables quick platform to replatform work loads
Provides business agility
Easier to add value incrementally once the work load is deployed to k8S

Alternatives Considered

IBM Cloud Foundry Public Cloud

Other Software Used

WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere DataPower Gateway, WebSphere BPMS

Likelihood to Recommend

Re-platform of on-perm work loads to modernize the middleware services as a first step to modernizations and continue to modernize the app layer using micro services to optimize resource utilization
