Tutorial: Creating a helloWorld deployment in IBM UrbanCode Deploy

Introduction
In this tutorial, you create a simple application with IBM UrbanCode Deploy. You use standard plug-ins to create a component and define an application that deploys the component to an environment.

Configure the helloWorld tutorial system
To deploy the tutorial component, or any component, you must have an agent. An agent is a lightweight process that runs on a target computer and does the actual work of deploying components.

Lesson 1 Create the helloWorld component
Components contain artifacts and processes. Artifacts include runnable files, images, databases, configuration instructions, and anything else that is associated with a software project. Processes define the activities that components can perform.

Lesson 2 Create a component process
Component processes are user-defined tasks that operate on components.

Lesson 3 Create an application
Applications manage components, typically by deploying them into environments.

Lesson 4 Configure an application environment
When you create an environment, you map resources to it that define where the parent application can run deployments.

Lesson 5 Create an application process
Application processes direct underlying component processes and orchestrate multi-component deployments.

Lesson 6 Deploy the component
To deploy the component, run the application process on an environment.

Summary
In this tutorial, you learned how to deploy a component with IBM UrbanCode Deploy.
