By: Burr Sutter and Christian Posta
Updated: 4/17/2019
In this second edition, Red Hat evangelist Burr Sutter introduces you to several key microservices capabilities that Istio provides on Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift.
Learn how to:
-
Build more dependable software and deliver it faster than before
-
Create powerful and resilient cloud-native applications
-
Improve traffic control, service resiliency, testing, observability, and security of microservices
Istio is the implementation of a service mesh that creates resilience in your applications as you connect, manage, and secure microservices.
Building and Deploying the Customer Service
Now, let’s build and deploy the customer service. Make sure you’re logged in to Minishift, which you installed earlier in the section “Istio Installation” on page 11. You can verify your status by using the following command:
oc status
oc whoami
Also make sure your docker tool is pointing at the Minishift Docker daemon:
eval $(minishift docker-env)
dockerimages
You should see a long list of docker images for both Istio and Open‐ Shift that are already part of your local docker daemon’s repository.
Navigate to the customer directory and build the source just as you would any Maven Java project:
cd customer/java/springboot
mvn cleanpackage
