Dynamically Creating Java Keystores in OpenShift

Raffaele Spazzoli +1

November 22, 2017

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...

The docker containerized environment is a software platform, which provides an abstraction of operating-system-level virtualization. To know more you can read this article: https://docs.docker.com/engine/docker-overview/ You need an available container-based application. Check the documentation for the right procedure for installation for your OS: https://docs.docker.com/engine/getstarted/step_one. Here, I am going to create a java application and run it by using a container-based application. This example includes the following steps: Create a directory by using below command. $ mkdir java-docker-application 2. Create a java...

With traditional virtualized infrastructure or Infrastructure-as-a-Service, it is common practice to regularly refresh instances back to a known good state. This provides confidence that the application workloads have the correct runtime configuration, no deltas are being introduced, and they can be relied upon to provide value for the business. In these cases, you might use tools such as Ansible or Jenkins, but when we move our application workloads to containers running on OpenShift Container Platform, we can use native tools...

Need to lock down your Docker registry? Keycloak has you covered. As of version 3.2.0, Keycloak has the ability to act as an "authorization service" for Docker authentication. This means that the Keycloak IDP server can perform identity validation and token issuance when a Docker registry requires authentication. Administrators may now leverage the same user base, audit controls, and configuration mechanisms in Keycloak to extend their SSO ecosystem past OpenID Connect and SAML to cover Docker registries. The chart below...

No matter how many steps there are, it's always a journey and this story is no exception. It seems like a long trek, but in just 10 steps, you can find your cloud happiness. There are always ups and downs in any journey as you traverse the path you've chosen. This is no truer for a walk to the top of a ridgeline as much as for your digital journey into the cloud. As an application developer, or as an...

We know that containers in Openshift or Kubernetes don't persist data. Every time we start an application, it is started in a new container with an immutable Docker image. Hence, any persisted data in the file systems is lost when the container stops. Hence if an application or container is rebuilt or restarted than we can't view previous logs or if we are using containers with mysql or any other database then schema, tables, and all data will be lost...

In this session, Diógenes gives an introduction of the basic concepts that make OpenShift, giving special attention to its relationship with Linux containers and Kubernetes.

The release of OpenShift Container Platform 3.6 brings support for vsphere cloud provider. This provides vsphere VMDK dynamic provisioning for persistent volumes for container workloads. The storage presented to vsphere virtual machines as a VMDK has ReadWriteOnce access mode. In the OCP 3.6 on vSphere reference architecture, much of this process is automated and can be implemented easily. Virtual Machine Disks or VMDKs exists in virtual machines. Configuring the OCP cluster for vsphere cloud provider support requires: Master Node Configuration...

When you build your .NET Core project, NuGet packages are retrieved from nuget.org by default. Sometimes, however, you might want to use a local NuGet repository. For example, you may want to: use private NuGet packages, but you don't want anyone except your associates to see them. cache a NuGet repository at a server near your build servers leave your build server disconnected from the Internet. I'll explain how to set up a private NuGet server on OpenShift and how...

This blog to help my fellow developers who are working on "Docker" and " Kubernetes" simultaneously. Because, they know that Kubernetes runs over docker-engine but there is a catch, that: 1. Containers running on Docker, and 2. Containers running inside of a Kubernetes Pod, are absolutely running isolated, without even knowing each other's existence. But, we are developers, so there are chances where we might come across a situation where we desperately need to let the Docker formatted containers communicate...

For many organizations, a big part of DevOps’ appeal is software automation using infrastructure-as-code techniques. This book presents developers, architects, and infra-ops engineers with a more practical option. You’ll learn how a container-centric approach from OpenShift® can help your team deliver quality software through a self-service view of IT infrastructure.

Creating a simple MicroProfile-based microservice and deploying it to OpenShift Container Platform Eclipse MicroProfile is an open source specification for Enterprise Java microservices. It is a community of individuals, vendors, and organizations collaborating and working on innovative microservices patterns for Enterprise Java within the context of modern development, architectures, and underlying infrastructures, e.g. health checks, fault tolerance, metrics, and security propagation within a cloud environment. Its first release was based on 3 Java EE JSRs/libraries/APIs, but this does not necessarily...

"I used WildFly Swarm to shrink my app from 45 megabytes to only 2243 bytes." I was recently playing around with various techniques for packaging Java microservices and running on OpenShift using various runtimes and frameworks to illustrate their differences (WildFly Swarm vs. WildFly, Spring Boot vs. the world, etc). Around the same time as I was doing this an internal email list thread ignited discussing some of the differences and using terms like Uber JARs, Thin WARs, Skinny WARs...

OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) offers many different types of persistent storage. Persistent storage ensures that data should be insistent between builds and container migrations. When choosing a persistent storage backend to ensure that the backend supports the scaling, speed, dynamic provisioning, RWX/RWO support and redundancy that the project requires. Container-Ready Storage (CRS), or native Gluster for OCP, is defined by the concept of persistent volumes, which are OCP created objects that allow storage to be defined and then used by...

What is it about? OpenShift has seen a lot of traction with the release of its third version based on Kubernetes a couple of years ago. More and more companies after a thorough evaluation of OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) have built an on-premise or in the cloud PaaS. With the next step, they have started to run their applications on OCP. One of the important aspects of running applications in production is the capacity of quickly restoring services to the...

Background I’ve been working with the CTO of an online video game company to develop a container architecture for his business. The goal is to simplify the deployment of new applications as well as make it easier to go back and change the code on older applications. The desired state is environmental parity across the infrastructure -- this will simplify the assignment of work on different applications to different developers. From developer laptops to production servers, the code will just...

Microservices is probably one of the most popular buzz words among my fellow developer friends, and I do like the concept of being flexible, agile and having simply having more choices. But as a person that worked in the software integration space for years, I started to see some resemblance of the old ESB days. Looking at the problem from ten thousand feet up. A decade ago, we had to come up with a better way of organizing the spaghetti...
