Container-native integration testing

Raffaele Spazzoli

It can be complex to set up an end-to-end integration test infrastructure, but the process can be simplified by using an infrastructure-as-code approach. In addition, running integration tests for multiple OS/browser combinations can waste resources and time, but a container orchestrator and ephemeral workloads can help mitigate that. This article shows how to build behavior-driven development (BDD) container-native integration tests and run them in OpenShift to overcome these obstacles.

Dynamically Creating Java Keystores in OpenShift

Raffaele Spazzoli +1

Introduction With a simple annotation to a service, you can dynamically create certificates in OpenShift. Certificates created this way are in PEM (base64-encoded certificates) format and cannot be directly consumed by Java applications, which need certificates to be stored in Java KeyStores . In this post, we are going to show a simple approach to enable Java applications to benefit from certificates dynamically created by OpenShift. Why certificates Certificates are part of a PKI infrastructure and can be used to...

Some organizations are moving toward microservices because it’s a trend, rather than to achieve a clear and measurable objective. In the process, these organizations are missing...
