Case Study: IBM Power Systems builds Concourse CI on OpenPOWER with Cloud Foundry

IBM Power Systems deploys Concourse v2.1.0 on OpenPOWER with Cloud Foundry

The customer, IBM Power Systems, faced the challenge of enabling the Concourse continuous integration service on their OpenPOWER systems, an alternative processor architecture. They required a method to build and deploy this service using the BOSH release management toolchain on an OpenStack cloud.

The vendor, Cloud Foundry, implemented a solution by providing a pre-built Concourse release specifically for OpenPOWER. This included creating Docker images for core resources and detailing the full deployment process using BOSH. The result was a successful deployment of Concourse on OpenPOWER, enabling IBM Power Systems to run continuous integration pipelines and build additional custom resource types for their development needs.
