IBM Cloud Schematics gives architects, developers, and operators the ability to define and manage their modern cloud infrastructure as a single unit, across any number of environments, in an automated and repeatable fashion.
Key features and capabilities:
- IBM Cloud Schematics allows users to define their infrastructure in files that can be checked into source control, which enables versioning, commit messages that can reveal the reason behind a change, an audit trail to determine who changed what and when, and collaboration, review, and transparency when working on infrastructure as a team.
- IBM Cloud Schematics gives IBM a way to offer infrastructure building blocks to users, as well as complete and prescriptive solutions. Users can more quickly build solutions for the platform, understand how to build those solutions, and better grasp how the platform products and offerings can be put together to create solutions.
- IBM Cloud Schematics further enables teams to build up a library of resources that can be reused again and again to net the same results. From tiny building blocks to complete solutions. Need a hadoop cluster? There is a module to do that, just plug in your variables! This allows cross-team and cross-organization code reuse and ensures that teams are working to solve problems as a unit and solving them in the best way possible.
