A while ago, I wrote a fairly long post attempting to shed some light on a few things you can do in your JavaScript classes to enforce the concept of data encapsulation - or data "hiding". But as soon as I posted it, I got some flak from a friend who is a Clojure programmer. His first comment about the article was this. Mutability and data encapsulation are fundamentally at odds. Eventually, he walked that back - but only just...

To get started with FIS 2.0, for people who are just getting to know the technology, here is how I interpret it. Basically, it's divided into two aspects. 1. Integration development: FIS uses Apache Camel as the core technology that creates, orchestrates, and composes microservices into a super lightweight thin integration layer, and becomes the API provider and service orchestrator through exposing RESTful or messaging service endpoints. And you can choose to either package and run it with Spring-Boot or...

It's been a while since Red Hat released version 3.3 of OpenShift Container Platform, this version is full of features. One of my favorites is the support for Pipelines (Tech Preview for now) that lets you easily integrate Jenkins builds on your OpenShift (Origin) Platform. OpenShift Pipelines OpenShift Pipelines are based on the Jenkins Pipeline plugin. ( https://jenkins.io/solutions/pipeline/) Integrating Jenkins Pipelines into OpenShift unlocks all the features for the CI/CD world enabling its users to easily manage repeatable tasks in...

And here we go for another episode of the series: "Unlock your [….] data with Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization." Through this blog series, we will look at how to connect Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization (JDV) to different and heterogeneous data sources. JDV is a lean, virtual data integration solution that unlocks trapped data and delivers it as easily consumable, unified, and actionable information. It makes data spread across physically diverse systems — such as multiple databases, XML files...

Introduction Enabling SSL/TLS in a Fabric is slightly more complex than securing a jetty in a standalone Karaf container. In the following article, we are providing feedback on the overall process. For clarity and simplification, the article will be divided into two parts. Part1: The Management Console Part2: Securing Web Service:including gateway-http For the purpose of this PoC, the following environment will be used. Environment Host fabric1.example.com (192.168.56.1), localhost MacOS Host fabric2.example.com (192.168.56.101), RHEL 7.2 Virtual Box VM Host fabric3.example.com...

You’ve heard that .NET has gone open source. You’ve also heard that it has gone cross-platform. And you’ve even heard that Red Hat is shipping a supported version of .NET on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. So maybe you are thinking to yourself, “wow, this is fantastic! I’m going to copy these EXEs and DLLs of my .NET application over to my Red Hat machine and run them!” Well, unfortunately, it’s not going to be quite that easy. At least not...

Introduction Kompose is a tool to convert from higher level abstractions of application definitions into more detailed Kubernetes artifacts. These artifacts can then be used to bring up the application in a Kubernetes cluster. What higher level application abstraction should kompose use? One of the most popular application definition formats for developers is the docker-compose.yml format for use with docker-compose that communicates with the docker daemon to bring up the application. Since this format has gained some traction we decided...

Fedora users seeking help on installing Container Development Kit (CDK), here is how you can install CDK 2.2 on your Fedora 24. These same steps can be used for CDK 2.3 too. CDK provides a container development environment, to build production-grade applications, for use on OpenShift. The installation of CDK 2.2 on Fedora essentially involves the following stages: Setting up your virtualization environment You need to first install the virtualization software, in this case, KVM/libvirt, and then proceed to install...

The Kubernetes client package for Go provides developers with a vast range of functions to access data and resources in a cluster. Taking advantage of its capabilities can allow the opportunity to build powerful controllers, monitoring and managing your cluster, beyond the scope of what is offered by stock OpenShift or Kubernetes setups. For example, the PodInterface allows you to list, update, delete, or get specific pods either by namespace or across all namespaces. This interface is complemented by similar...

If you're a regular on this blog, you're probably well aware of Red Hat's efforts in improving the Eclipse IDE and of the rise of Language Servers Protocol to develop common developer tools. Red Hat fully jumped on this opportunity to better factorize and share language-specific logic which is very likely to benefit to multiple editors, IDEs and languages at once. It also better separates the concerns of what an editor or IDE is supposed to do (text edition, integration...

One of the main principles of microservices is to be independently deployable. As a consequence, Microservices development and operation tend to be much more complex than a Monolith because of their distributed nature --- if your IT team has not moved out yet from its silos and has adopted DevOps practices, the operations team will not really understand why they have to deploy hundreds of independent software pieces in opposite to the "good old monolith". "You need a mature operations...
