Beta testing is fundamentally all about the testing of a product performed by real users in a real environment. The Beta stage in the product lifecycle management (PLM) is the ideal opportunity to hear from the target market and to plan for the road ahead.

Deploying to OpenShift

Graham Dumpleton

January 1, 2018

Get an in-depth tour of OpenShift®, the container-based software deployment and management platform from Red Hat® that provides a secure multitenant environment for the enterprise. This practical guide describes in detail how OpenShift, building on Kubernetes, enables you to automate the way you create, ship, and run applications in a containerized environment.

APIs are critical to automation, integration and developing cloud-native applications, and it's vital they can be scaled to meet the demands of your user-base. In this article, we'll create a database-backed REST API based on the Python Falcon framework using Red Hat Software Collections (RHSCL)

This article would help to configure http2 protocol support for the camel-undertow component. Camel's undertow component use embedded undertow web-container of version undertow-core:jar:1.4.21. This version also supports the http2 connection. I have used camel version 2.21.0-SNAPSHOT from upstream https://github.com/apache/camel. Also, the curl version to test application using camel-undertow component is 7.53.1. This curl version supports --http2 flag for sending an http2 request. I have also used nghttp to test application from linux terminal. However, this article is not about http2...

Jenkinsfiles have only become a part of Jenkins since version 2 but they have quickly become the de-facto standard for building continuous delivery pipelines with Jenkins. Jenkinsfile allows defining pipelines as code using a groovy DSL syntax and checking it into source version control which allows you to track, review, audit and manage the lifecycle of changes to the continuous delivery pipelines the same way that you manage the source code of your application. Although the groovy DSL syntax which...

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...

Before I start talking about IT and how you can manage, control, and optimize your Hybrid IT infrastructure, I propose that we reflect directly on your living room, where you usually watch TV, movies, listen to music, play video games, etc. Even if you do not enjoy this type of entertainment, you know that for each of these devices, it is common to use a remote control allowing you to switch between them, manage them, and control all of your...

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...

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...

A recent Gartner survey suggests that roughly 50% of the respondents planned to implement continuous delivery and DevOps by year-end 2017 in order to deliver services faster, more often and more reliably. State of DevOps Report by Puppet Labs suggests that high-performing organizations that focus on automation and DevOps are able to reduce their lead-time for delivering a change by a factor of 440 and deliver services 46 times more often. These results have helped to make DevOps adoption a...

Typical CI process (source: www.pepgotesting.com) Continuous Integration (CI) is a phase in the software development cycle where code from different team members or different features are integrated together. This usually involves merging code (integration), building the application and carrying out basic tests all within an ephemeral environment. In the past, the code was integrated at an “integration phase” of the software development life cycle. This phase came after different teams would have spent weeks, months or even years working in...

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.

"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...

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...
