Improved patterns
A messaging extension has been added for the IBM® Web Application Pattern. This will allow you to support web apps that have messaging requirements.
Improved data management for production databases
The database patterns have been enhanced with:
- Database snapshot/cloning
- Database image copy
Version 1.1 also improves your ability to build images and use those images on private and public clouds. IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool (ICCT) is now integrated with the IBM SmartCloud Application Workload Service. ICCT allows users to create custom virtual images and deploy those images with SmartCloud Application Services, the PureApplication™ System, or IBM Workload Deployer. This new functionality enhances the interoperability between IBM's public and private clouds and gives clients additional choice and flexibility in virtual image deployment.
Version 1.1 also includes SmartCloud Application Workload Service Lifeboat Monitoring, which allows for more resilient services for our Workload Service in support of resilient production workloads.
