Deploying the Mosquitto MQTT message broker on Red Hat OpenShift, Part 1

By Kevin Boone April 16, 2021April 15, 2021

Mosquitto is a lightweight message broker that supports the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport  (MQTT) protocol. Mosquitto is widely used in Internet of Things (IoT) and telemetry applications, where a fully-featured message broker like Red Hat AMQ would be unnecessarily burdensome. Mosquitto also finds a role as a message bus for interprocess communication in distributed systems. Because it avoids complex features, Mosquitto is easy to tune and handles substantial application workloads with relatively modest memory and CPU resources.

Containerize and deploy Strapi applications on Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift

By Joel Lord April 9, 2021April 9, 2021

Strapi is the leading open-source headless content management system (CMS). It’s 100% JavaScript, fully customizable, and takes a developer-first approach. Strapi provides you with an interface to create and manage all the resources for your website. You can then build a front end to connect to your Strapi API with your favorite tools and frameworks. Content editors can use the friendly administration panel to manage and distribute content. Strapi is also based on a plugin system, which makes the CMS flexible and extensible.

Deploy integration components easily with the Red Hat Integration Operator

By Hugo Guerrero April 1, 2021March 31, 2021

Any developer knows that when we talk about integration, we can mean many different concepts and architecture components. Integration can start with the API gateway and extend to events, data transfer, data transformation, and so on. It is easy to lose sight of what technologies are available to help you solve various business problems. Red Hat Integration‘s Q1 release introduces a new feature that targets this challenge: the Red Hat Integration Operator.

Integrate Red Hat’s single sign-on technology 7.4 with Red Hat OpenShift

By Olivier Rivat March 25, 2021March 24, 2021

In this article, you will learn how to integrate Red Hat’s single sign-on technology 7.4 with Red Hat OpenShift 4. For this integration, we’ll use the PostgreSQL database. PostgreSQL requires a persistent storage database provided by an external Network File System (NFS) server partition.

Monitor Node.js applications on Red Hat OpenShift with Prometheus

By Alexandros Alykiotis March 22, 2021March 31, 2021

A great thing about Node.js is how well it performs inside a container. With the shift to containerized deployments and environments comes extra complexity. One such complexity is observing what’s going on within your application and its resources, and when resource use is outside of the expected norms.

Using Dekorate to generate Kubernetes manifests for Java applications

By Aurea Munoz Hernandez March 17, 2021March 16, 2021

To deploy an application on Kubernetes or Red Hat OpenShift, you first need to create objects to allow the platform to install an application from a container image. Then, you need to launch the application using a pod and expose it as a service with a static IP address. Doing all of that can be tedious, but there are ways to simplify the process.

Deploying Node.js applications to Kubernetes with Nodeshift and Minikube

By Lucas Holmquist March 9, 2021March 8, 2021

In a previous article, I showed how easy it was to deploy a Node.js application during development to Red Hat OpenShift using the Nodeshift command-line interface (CLI). In this article, we will take a look at using Nodeshift to deploy Node.js applications to vanilla Kubernetes—specifically, with Minikube.

A guide to Red Hat OpenShift 4.5 installer-provisioned infrastructure on vSphere

By Nuttee Jirattivongvibul March 9, 2021March 8, 2021

With Red Hat OpenShift 4, Red Hat completely re-architected how developers install, upgrade, and manage OpenShift to develop applications on Kubernetes. Under the hood, the installation process uses the OpenShift installer to automate container host provisioning using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) CoreOS. It is then easy to initialize the cluster and set up the cloud domain name system (DNS), load balancer, storage, and so on.
