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.

 “cf push – experience” saying

Leave a comment

The “cf push – experience” saying is related to simplify some of cloud native development tasks for developers. I haven’t found an official definition for that “cf push – experience” saying, so I just define one by myself. Of course, I found videos and longer implicit  descriptions and one awesome description you can find in the YouTube video Kube Your Enthusiasm — Bringing the `CF Push` Experience to Kubernetes Operators (Project Eirini) and Onsi Fakhouri did also a tweet cf push haiku a long time ago in 2015 related to cf push.

But here is my personal definition:

cf-push

“The Developers “cf push –  experience” is: Developers can focus on implementing functional requirements in a programming language and they don’t wasting additional time to extra define network or container configuration to deploy an executable application into the cloud.”

#BlueCloudMirror Game – highscores

Leave a comment

I am a part of the team along with @Niklas and @Harald , who created and developed the fun Blue Cloud Mirror Game. 

game

This is my first blog  about this topic, and I will follow with future posts to detail the different parts of highscores (scores) and the technologies and components involved.

You can also take a look at other existing information:

The motivation for the highscores (scores)

If you play a game, you usually want to compare yourself with others. To do this, you simply have to save scoring information somewhere and provide access for the players who want to see the highscores, even if they do not play the game.

The high-level architecture overview on scores

The objective was to implement this on the cloud with state-of-the-art runtimes, services, security topics, to cover microservices, and to have an easy scalable cloud architecture.
I developed the scores part and the functions-api for users.

scores-architecture

The Game, Scores Service UI and the Highscores webapp are hosted on different runtimes and for the execution they will be loaded into a browser.

How to enter your promo code in the newer IBM Cloud UI? (UPDATE)

1 Comment

This is just a small update to my blog post Promo code and free Kubernetes Cluster @IBM Cloud specific to the topic promo codes.

Currently IBM Cloud provides two UIs to access the IBM Cloud.
But don’t be afraid, when entering your code, this will work for both of them.

You can access the newer unified UI, with more functionalities, via http://cloud.ibm.com and the traditional UI you can access with www.bluemix.net.

If you enter your promo code in the newer UI just follow these steps:

  • Open Manage->Account in the IBM Cloud UI menu
  • In Account select Account settings
  • Here you can enter your promo code in Feature (Promo) Codes

cloud-ibm-ui-20181204

The creation of the free Kubernetes Cluster has not changed.

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

Greetings,

Thomas

PS: By the way, you can use the IBM Cloud for free, if you simply create an IBM Lite account. Here you only need an e-mail address.

Operations and Developers side by side @“Continuous Lifecycle” and “Container Conf”

1 Comment

Niklas Heidloff  and I  attended the combined software development conference for “Continuous Lifecycle”and “Container Conf” in Mannheim Rosengarten on 14.11. and 15.11.2018.

The conference was sold out and had more than 700 attendees. This was a great place where developer and operation experts exchanged different perspectives.

The talks at the conference were about Micro Services, Docker, Serverless, Tools, Security, Cloud Foundry, Kubernetes, and methods and more.
