Quickly try Red Hat Decision Manager in your Cloud

By Eric D. Schabell November 19, 2018November 18, 2018

It’s been some time since I last talked with you about business logic engines and using them in application development cloud architectures. At that time, I showcased running JBoss BRMS in a container on Red Hat OpenShift. This gives you the cloud experience, one that’s portable across private and public clouds, but on your own local laptop using Red Hat Container Development Kit.

The world continues to move forward, a new product has been released which replaced JBoss BRMS with the Red Hat Decision Manager, so now I want to provide a way for you to install this on OpenShift, in the same easy to use demo format.

Running Microsoft SQL Server on Red Hat OpenShift

By Tom Deseyn September 25, 2018September 25, 2018

In this blog post, we’ll set up Microsoft SQL Server on Red Hat OpenShift. We’ll use SQL Server to store data for a simple ASP.NET Core application running in a container deployed on OpenShift that manages a list of contacts. When we have that set up, we’ll use SQL Operation Studio to connect to the server running on OpenShift from our developer machine.

Steps to replace nip.io with xip.io in CDK/Minishift

By Lalatendu Mohanty December 1, 2017December 1, 2017

If you’re a Red Hat Container Development Kit (CDK) or upstream Minishift user, you would have been affected by the unavailability of nip.io. When you create a route for an application running in OpenShift (provided by Minishift) it uses nip.io for routing to the Minishift VM IP address. As a result, it is impossible to access the route created with nip.io suffix.
