10 Hours of Live Recordings, which are built on Experience, about Application Security

Leave a comment

It’s awesome we just created 10 hours of live recordings, which are built on experience, about application security. That learning journey was made by the IBM Developer Hybrid Cloud Build Team from IBM and I am a part of that team. We put together great content for you. By the way, I was responsible for the content ;-). I also have been the moderator for most of the sessions and I also gave sessions by myself. The learning journey is called #ApplicationSecurityLearningJourney.

So just take something to drink and grep some snacks and then enjoy all of the knowledge or just select your point of interest.

Here are the links to the various topics and related recordings on Crowdcast.io.

Use environment variables to make a containerized Vue.js frontend application more flexible and deploy it to Code Engine

Leave a comment

This blog post addresses the topic, how to use environment variables to make a containerized Vue.js frontend application more flexible. We will touch following technologies Vue.js, NGINX, JavaScript, Dockerfile and Code Engine.

When you run a containerized application on a container orchestration platform like Kubernetes, Open Shift or on a serverless frameworks like Knative or Code Engine or other platforms, it’s helpful to pass endpoints to other applications to the containerized application by using environment variables. When the container will be restarted, these variables can be provided to the container and no adjustment in the source code is necessary. You can use configmaps or in Code Engine simply the environment variable itself.

The example source code you find in this workshop.

In addition, it’s useful when you take a look into this awesome blog post: Externalise and Configure Frontend Environment Variables on Kubernetes which was used for the starting point for the configuration.

How to use environment variables to make a containerized Quarkus application more flexible

1 Comment

This blog post addresses the topic, how to use environment variables to make a containized Quarkus application more flexible. We will touch following technologies Quarkus, OpenJ9 Java runtime, MicroProfile, Dockerfile definition and Code Engine.

When you run a containerized application on a container orchestration platform like Kubernetes, Open Shift or with a serverless framework like Knative or Code Engine or on other platforms, it is helpful to pass endpoints to other applications to the containerized application by using environment variables. When the container will be restarted, these variables can be provided to the container and no adjustment in the source code is necessary. You can use configmaps or in Code Engine simple the environment variable itself.

We will follow along an application example for the implementation and the example source code you find in the Get started to deploy a Java Microservices application to Code Engine workshop. (or the direct link to the used file in the GitHub repository is provided in the blog post itself)

Getting started with continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) using Tekton and an Open Toolchain on IBM Cloud (Part 3/3)

2 Comments

This blog post is about the last 14 min video for my YouTube playlist related to the hands-on tutorial “Develop a Kubernetes app by using Tekton delivery pipelines“. In this video we do the final setup of the toolchain and then we execute a Tekton pipeline. For more background please visit my first blog post “Getting started with continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) using Tekton and an Open Toolchain on IBM Cloud (Part 1/3)“.

Note: The video was live recorded and it would take 30 min for the entire session, but I did reduce the time of the video to only 14 min ;-).

But now the video could be sometimes a little bit (too) fast.

This blog post is about my newly created 9 min YouTube video about the setup of the prerequisites for the hands-on tutorial “Develop a Kubernetes app by using Tekton delivery pipelines“. That video is a part of the video series for the tutorial. For more details please visit my last blog post “Getting started with continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) using Tekton and an Open Toolchain on IBM Cloud (Part 1/3)“

Getting started with continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) using Tekton and an Open Toolchain on IBM Cloud (Part 1/3)

In this blog post I want to highlight that I created a 10 min detailed overview YouTube video, which is the first video of a video series related to the hands-on tutorial “Develop a Kubernetes app by using Tekton delivery pipelines“. In that tutorial video series, we setup an easy consumable Tekton pipeline in a toolchain using developer tools for think, code and deploy in context of continuous delivery. We deploy a containerized web application to a free Kubernetes Cluster on IBM Cloud.

In this blog post I want to point out that I created a 18 min YouTube video related to the newly created workshop Get started with security for your Java Microservices made by Harald, Niklas and me .

I focus in that video on the topics authentication and authorization for Java Microservices with Keycloak, Quarkus and Microprofile. Have fun 😉

Select your starting point for the video:

I hope this was useful for you and let’s see what’s next?

Greetings,
