Benefits of using Docker and UrbanCode Deploy to install and deploy Sterling Order Management

You gain many benefits by using Docker and IBM® UrbanCode Deploy to install and deploy your IBM Sterling Order Management system.

Some of these benefits include:
  • A single-click deployment, with a reduced deployment time.
  • Automated deployments, including the ability to pre-schedule, unmonitored automated deployments.
  • Enhanced resource usage. Multiple containers can share the same host, such as a virtual machine, a bare metal server, or a laptop.
  • Flexible topology. Docker’s ability to spawn containers on various kinds of hosts enables you to configure a flexible topology for your different environment needs.
  • Portability and data persistence. Docker containers are easily portable from host to host, and the related data is persisted using data volume containers.
  • Data segregation. Data is preserved and segregated outside of the container in data volume containers, ensuring that data and customizations are not lost during version upgrades.
  • Hybrid support enables deployments to work seamlessly in both cloud and on-premise scenarios.
  • Audit trails on UrbanCode Deploy provide a history of changes.
  • Single-window deployment log aggregation.
  • UrbanCode Deploy’s process editor is a GUI-based tool that enables you to easily modify the default processes provided by IBM.
  • Customization segregation using mutable builds and immutable deployments.
  • Reliable and repeatable deployments.
