		<description><![CDATA[When a hybrid cloud is created, the objective is to craft a solution that appears
	and functions seamlessly for the user, performs flawlessly, and secures the entire system
	from malicious and erroneous activities. To make all this happen, some IT fundamentals must
	be painstakingly planned and managed. Part 3 of this series peeks under the hood to see what
	it takes to make the hybrid powerhouse a reality.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Services in the cloud are increasing rapidly. As more and more cloud computing projects
	are implemented, the ever-expanding collection of cloud tools and services required to
	manage an enterprise seems to be growing exponentially. The implementation of a federated
	cloud with an appropriate command and control regimen is the key to managing this growth. Part 2 of this series describes the hybrid cloud in more detail as well as the federated cloud,
	which is the epitome of the hybrid cloud formation.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Continuous integration is a software development practice in which members of a team integrate their work frequently; usually each person integrates at least daily which leads to multiple integrations per day. Each integration is verified by an automated build (including test) to detect integration errors as quickly as possible. Many teams find that this approach significantly reduces integration problems and allows a team to develop cohesive software more rapidly. Therefore, continuous integration, especially in the early stage of development process, can greatly improve the efficiency and help find potential issues as soon as possible. The authors describe the practice of continuous integration using the IBM SmartCloud Enterprise as the framework.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Platform as a Service virtual application patterns are realized by supporting a
    combination of application-centric deployment models, virtual applications (consisting
    of individual components and policies), the infrastructure and middleware they employ,
    and workload-specific content -- extensions or &quot;plug-ins&quot; that define components,
    links, and policies used to describe and deploy virtual application patterns, such as
    those usable on both the IBM SmartCloud Enterprise cloud and IBM PureSystems. This
    article explains how to get started with the IBM Workload Plug-in Development Kit and
    on your way to creating and customizing virtual application patterns.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Virtual system patterns in IBM PureApplication System enable fast and repeatable
    deployments of systems from the virtual machine up to the application. With a virtual system pattern, manual tasks that are needed to bring up your entire topology can be fully automated, which allows an application to be deployed in minutes as opposed to hours or days. Pattern-oriented deployment of middleware eliminates bugs introduced by error-prone, manual configuration processes and allows best practices to be baked into patterns, thereby accelerating and optimizing deployment of solutions. In this article, the authors highlight key points to review when designing and developing a virtual system pattern.]]></description>

IBM PureApplication System virtual system patterns are the captured essence of years of infrastructure-management experience and best practices. Virtual system patterns encapsulate repeatable topology definitions based on various middleware images and runtime configurations; they give you control over the middleware landscape being deployed. In this article, the authors introduce you to virtual system patterns and their place in the ecosystem, describe their components and functions, and provide a basic look at how to create and use a virtual system pattern.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The introduction of IBM PureSystems takes cloud computing to new
    heights. One way to prepare an application to leverage IBM PureSystems is to craft a
    plug-in, a bridge between the application package and the system. Part 1 describes the development efforts to enable SugarCRM on IBM PureSystems. SugarCRM is a PHP application that requires the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP). LAMP is not supported by IBM PureSystems out of the box, so the team developed a new pattern type and a set of plug-ins that support the modeling, deployment, and operation of the application atop the base Linux and IBM AIX image. 
    This article addresses the lessons learned
    from their development efforts.]]></description>

When a deadline looms, organizations may get frantic and sacrifice secure features to bring the application into production. This is a fast (and reactive) solution that results in a usually defective application. A better, proactive solution is to create a SaaS-oriented web application vulnerability mitigation policy (and employ a SaaS-based vulnerability scanner) into place that anticipates application vulnerabilities and has several solutions to repair them ready to go. The author will provide a roadmap to such a policy and illustrate using a scanner tool in the form of IBM Rational AppScan products.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recent trend has been to build a strong connection between cloud application and service development and operations; in particular, this trend is leading to a tighter, more efficient integration of application life cycle management (ALM) tools with cloud computing. In this article, the authors will show you how to use the open source Apache Maven build management tool to automate build and deployment projects on IBM SmartCloud Enterprise. They will also demonstrate how to integrate the management of virtual machines on the cloud into the build and deployment life cycle by developing an Apache Maven plug-in that looks up and creates virtual machines that run a J2EE application server on the cloud. You&apos;ll also discover best practices for development and deployment on the cloud and how to use IBM Cloud API&apos;s and Maven to implement these practices.]]></description>

            images. You can transfer parameters on the fly to the instance creation process to create your final customized image. When your image is shared among a group or promoted to be public, users of your image will provide parameters to create their own instances by the Portal or an API. But you want to make certain that users are creating the instances properly and are providing the correct input. In this article, the authors introduce a set of rules you can use when parameterizing an image, including regular expressions, known patterns, CompoundRules, and metaphor-based validation.]]></description>

One that also allows for intense socially collaborative input into the design and building phases and that lets you execute the result in a completely virtual space? The author details this type of system and demonstrates it with a real-world example.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The advantages an appliance brings with it are often achieved by complex
            tasks; many times this complexity is hidden by the interface to the appliance, giving the user a limited view of the entire configuration and integration points. But a user may need to verify or re-verify the software stack when the environment changes (restoring backup images in a disaster recovery scenario), making modifications to hardware configurations (like when you add new blades) or software configurations (like when you add new networks with VLAN tagging). In this article, the author provides a quick guide to verifying the IBM CloudBurst 2.1 Tivoli software stack.]]></description>

            deployments]]></title>
		
		<description><![CDATA[Middleware environments are becoming increasingly complex. 
            Developers search for ways to eliminate time spent waiting for others to deploy new application code, administrators cope with the emergence of
            clouds and ever-faster software release cycles by automating the deployment
            process, and managers know they can save significantly in time and money by
            eliminating inefficiencies in the IT workflow. This article describes possible
            ways to address these needs by integrating IBM Workload Deployer into an
            existing automation software lifecycle solution with XebiaLabs&apos; deployment
            automation product, Deployit.]]></description>
