In May we announced the general availability of our IBM modules. In our blog post from the 30st of may we already introduced the MQ modules. In this blog post we will introduce the IBM Information Bus modules iib_install and iib_config.

Yesterday we announced the availability of our new IBM puppet modules. Besides modules for IBM Integration Bus (IIB), we also announced puppet modules to install and configure IBM MQ. This blog post will introduce these modules.

At the beginning of March Oracle released version 12.2.0.1 of its database software for use on premise. To support our customers using or trying out Oracle 12.2, we have updated our modules to support this version as well.

Git-based version systems have become the cornerstone of many best practices in development teams. In the last couple of years, with the rise of continuous delivery and continuous deployment, slowly but surely git has also gained a foothold in the operations environment. The DevOps mindset propagates the use of Infrastructure as Code and to put all this code in versioning systems like git. So git has become a big thing and an integral part of DevOps processes and tools. Examples of this are the full integration of Puppet® and git. In the world of git Github has been one of the largest git service providers and many organizations are depending on either the hosted GitHub version or their own GitHub enterprise to drive both their development as well as their operations. But along the way, we forgot something. We should be putting all our configuration in code. But what about the GitHub configuration? Most of this is still done by clicking around. How can we move out GitHub configuration into code aswell.
