With the release of the Red Hat Container Development Kit (CDK), it’s been easier to set up a development environment with OpenShift to create, develop and test your own containerized applications, and easier evaluate different CI/CD strategies with Jenkins --- strategies that reflect your team's unique culture. However, when you want to access applications by their DNS names, you cannot do so because there is no DNS server pointing to that name. That is, of course, until now! Vagrant provides...

Red Hat has always given operations teams value in deploying Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), and that's no different in a containerized world. But, as a developer, why should I build on RHEL? Does the underlying operating system really affect me? It might if you want to: get your app to production faster work on new products, not maintain old ones avoid compatibility issues at scale (And yes RHEL is available at no cost for development use .) 1) Take...

Recent: Red Hat was invited to be part of Eclipse Che keynote at EclipseCon 2016 and Pete Muir gave a quick look at working with OpenShift and Eclipse Che. When we create software today , we often hit a brick wall and waste many hours because creating copies of another system is far too hard. We create copies for many reasons - a few common examples are: replicating production issues; asking another developer for help; running test suites; copying the...

Cloud based technology offers the ability to build, deploy and scale applications with ease; however, deploying to the cloud is only half of the battle. How cloud applications are monitored becomes a paramount concern with operations teams. When issues arise, teams and their monitoring systems must be able to detect, react, and rectify the situation. CPU, system memory, and disk space are three common indicators used to monitor applications, and are typically reported by the operating system. However, for Java...

Introduction A way organizations deal with the progression towards a more connected and API driven world, is by implementing a lightweight SOA/REST API architecture for application services to simplify the delivery of modern apps and services. In the following blog series, we're going to show how solutions based on 3scale and Red Hat JBoss Fuse enable organizations to create right interfaces to their internal systems thus enabling them to thrive in the networked, integrated economy. Among the API Management scenarios...

So you finally surrendered to containers and discovered that they solve a lot of problems and have a lot of advantages : First: Containers are immutable - The OS, library versions, configurations, folders, and application are all wrapped inside the container. You guarantee that the same image that was tested in QA will reach the production environment with the same behaviour. Second: Containers are lightweight - The memory footprint of a container is small. Instead of hundreds or thousands of...

2015 is coming to a close and it’s always fun to reflect on all that has changed, grown, and news that almost make you wonder if pigs can now fly. Our team has greatly expanded, the community is growing, we are now accepting content contributors from around the world...so much to pick from. As you can tell it’s been a busy year and here are just some of top highlights. Here we go and in no particular order: 1) A...

When you are setting up a self-contained OpenShift v3 cluster, you usually run into the problem of how to resolve host names, local cluster addresses, application routes, and external names correctly everywhere. For a production deployment, a networking engineer would typically be responsible for working this out, but if you are just trying it out, getting properly hooked into organizational DNS can be daunting if not forbidden by policy. Fortunately, if needed, you can handle DNS entirely yourself. Assumptions Let's...

It’s been a busy October and we are looking forward to an even busier November. And with that comes Devoxx 2015 and we will be there. Red Hatters will be holding 14 presentations. That’s right - 14!

Red Hat Developers is joining forces with OpenShift and JBoss to host a booth full of...

OpenShift Enterprise by Red Hat was designed to be application architecture agnostic. In addition to running traditional stateful and/or legacy-type workloads, OpenShift Enterprise seamlessly provides support for modern, stateless Twelve-Factor applications. This document provides a guide on how to optimize the architecture and deployment of your Twelve-Factor applications on OpenShift Enterprise. Note: The Twelve-Factor app is a methodology for building apps in modern cloud environments. Read more at http://12factor.net/ . Factor Relationship Codebase One codebase tracked in revision control, many...

What are user namespaces? Sticking with the apartment complex analogy , the numbering of users and groups have historically been the same in every container and in the underlying host, just like public channel 10 is generally the same in every unit in an apartment building. But, imagine that people in different apartments are getting their television signal from different cable and satellite companies. Channel 10 is now different for each person. It might be sports for one person, and...

At DevNation 2015 , Jason Hibbets shared a behind the scenes look at opensource.com , the talent behind it, their content strategy, and the results of the overall success of the site. Why I liked it? It was great to hear more about the inner workings of the opensource.com team. Most importantly, I found it very informative with specific info on how to get involved in the community that participates in the site. Read more about it – they are...

In the current world of DevOps, Continuous Delivery, Microservices, and PaaS many organizations want to know how Software Governance practices and requirements fit. Some of this comes from a regulatory perspective, ensuring compliance (e.g HIPAA/PHI, SOX, PCI) and auditing requirements are met. Another perspective focuses on existing technology standards, design practices, and application architecture. At the same time developers and teams are being told to be more agile, adaptable, and self-directed. How do we achieve the latter while mitigating the...

We just started this year and a lot has happened already. From now on, I will summarize the monthly happenings in JBoss to catch in one place. A Year in Review First thing a new year is all about is looking back. There's been plenty of recaps about 2014 for example by Eric Schabell who highlighted the most important events for JBoss Integration & BPM. Did you know, that there is a book called " OpenShift Primer " which got...

If one thing survived all the New Year parties, it is Docker. It was hot at the end of 2014 and it looks like it is getting even hotter in 2015. And Red Hat is one of the key drivers behind the adoption of this amazing container technology. This is a short summary blog post about a bunch of resources to get you started with Java EE, WildFly and Microservices on Docker mostly collecting resources and information from the JBoss...
