Definition of a Dockerfile to use bash scripts on a Windows 10 machine for our Cloud-Native-Starter workshop

Leave a comment

We defined a Dockerfile to create a Docker image for our Cloud-Native-Starter workshop especially for Windows 10 users. The users can now simply create a Docker image on the local Windows 10 machine and then follow the guided steps in the hands-on workshop documentation and use the bash scripts. The reason why we don’t build a Docker image and share the image on Dockerhub is, we want to provide users the freedom of own customizations.

These are some challenges we had during the testing of the Dockerfile definition:

  • File sharing for Docker images on Windows
  • Docker port forwarding
  • Docker in Docker
  • Istio Virtual service configuration
  • Linux tools missing

Let’s get started with cloud native Java applications on Kubernetes

Leave a comment

Getting started with cloud native development using Microservices and Java can still be challenging. Kubernetes and Microservices are not new, but there are still a lot of possibilities to move existing or build new applications to be cloud native, especially for Java.

For this reason @Niklas and @Harald started to create an open source project, to get started with cloud native Java applications on Kubernetes. I am also contributing to this cloud native GitHub project that contains a hands-on workshop. By the way it is also released as series on IBM Developer.

In the image below you can see the stars ⭐️ of the project.

The sample Microservices application is not too simple and not too complex for an introduction to cloud native development with Java.

The awesome project has ongoing growing content and it already has 139 stars ⭐️ on GitHub.

I created a youtube video as a teaser of the workshop and the core project, to give a fast  3 min overview about the current state.

By the way, this video is the first 3-minute YouTube video of the teaser videos series “Let’s get started with cloud native Java applications on Kubernetes hands-on workshop” I plan to record.

Hot topics on hot days @DevOpsCon in Berlin

Hot topics on hot days @DevOpsCon in Berlin

These two days were really hot and that’s why I created that motto 😉

Here are a few pictures and a brief impression of the DevOpsCon conference in Berlin. The DevOpsCon Expo in Berlin on 11 – 14 June 2019 had approximately 800 participants and provided a full program on different technologies and methods for them.

It’s important to keep a cool head on the mission-critical topic of DevOps and make the right decisions how to deploy and deliver the optimal to achieve speed of innovation. It was awesome to see that DevOps teaming works for companies, because often we had developers and operations of one company at same time at our booth.

„Let’s get started with cloud native Java applications on Kubernetes“ Our hands-on workshop is ready to rumble!

Our hands-on workshop: „Let’s get started with cloud native Java applications on Kubernetes“ , is ready to rumble!

cns-workshop

After all the effort Niklas and Harald did to deliver that awesome and valuable content of the “Cloud Native Starter” open sourced GitHub project, I contribute to that (ongoing) project with this hands-on workshop based on all the given great materials of blog posts, manuals and documentation which is available in the internet.

The outcome is an easy to consume hands-on workshop. The workshop  provides a wide but concentrated introduction to Java development with MicroProfile, Kubernetes, Containers, REST APIs, Traffic management, and Resiliency that is relevant for developers who want more hands-on practical cloud native development introduction of the usage of these technologies.

I would say, this workshop is a must have for beginners who start with cloud native Java applications on Kubernetes. We all put a lot of effort in this project to make that easy to consume.
