1. Futures – Alpha Cloud Deployment and Application Management

2. To paraphrase James Carville: “It’s about the application…stupid!” Publication Deployment Monitoring Cost Management Database Management What Is the Alpha Cloud?

3. Publication Directly from Alpha Anywhere Development Environment Application publications are versioned Applications publications are never overwritten – Roll-back/roll-forward as needed – Deploy multiple copies and versions concurrently What Is the Alpha Cloud?

4. Deployment Assigns a web site and path to a specific application version with a specific build of Alpha Anywhere Application Server Changes to a deployment can be scheduled ahead of time and are automatically deployed or terminated according to the schedule For example, create a deployment to: – Test your recently published application version – Test a new build of Alpha Anywhere – Diagnose a specific application issue – Support a specific organizational group in production – Demonstrate your application for a prospect What Is the Alpha Cloud?
