Migrating Java EE applications to IBM Bluemix Platform-as-a-Service

Presentation from IBM InterConnect 2017. Abstract: This session will demonstrate how WebSphere Application Server Liberty and Docker containers make the perfect combination for development and deployment of Java-based microservices. We'll show an end-to-end workflow, starting with creating a new service with the Liberty App Accelerator, local development with the free WebSphere Developer Tools, and then deployment to IBM Containers with the Bluemix DevOps Services.

The document provides an overview of Docker and IBM Bluemix Container Service. It begins with explaining what Docker is, how it differs from virtual machines, and why it is useful. It then discusses what IBM Bluemix is and how it provides different compute models including containers. The document explains that IBM Bluemix Container Service (formerly IBM Containers) is based on Docker and provides features like persistent storage, integrated monitoring and logging, and works with the IBM Bluemix DevOps toolchain. It notes that Container Service will evolve to use Kubernetes as the runtime engine to provide additional capabilities like declarative topologies, self-healing, and service discovery.

Presentation given to the UK WebSphere User Group on 24 April 2016 giving a recap and update on integration between WebSphere Application Server and Docker. It covers both Liberty and the traditional application server.

This document discusses integrating Cloud Foundry and OpenStack. It describes how open source tools like Chef, Fog, BOSH, and Ruby can be used to automate deploying Cloud Foundry on OpenStack, including automating lifecycle management tasks like updates and scaling. The document argues that Cloud Foundry and OpenStack are a good fit since they are both open source and their communities can help automate integration and management.

Docker, Cloud Foundry & Bosh. Why use containers? How does Bluemix fit into this? What about adding services? All these questions are answered, and more!

IBM WebSphere Application Server can run in both traditional and Docker environments. Docker provides benefits like consistency across environments, faster build and deployment, higher server density, and separation of concerns between development and operations. IBM supports WebSphere Liberty and traditional editions running in Docker containers. Dockerfiles are available to build WebSphere images containing application servers, deployment managers, and other software components. Organizations can use Docker to improve the deployment and management of WebSphere environments.

This talk goes into the details and mechanics of how the Liberty buildpack deploys an application into the IBM BlueMix Cloud Foundry. It also explores how the Cloud Foundry runtime drives the Liberty buildpack code and what the Liberty buildpack code in Cloud Foundry does to run an application in the cloud environment. This talk touches on the restrictions that Cloud Foundry and the Liberty runtime imposes on applications running in Cloud Foundry. Developers attending this talk get deep insight into the why, what, how, and when of the Liberty buildpack ruby code, enabling them to write applications faster and optimized for the Liberty runtime in IBM BlueMix.

The document discusses building IBM Bluemix on OpenStack using IBM Cloud Manager. Key points include: - Bluemix is IBM's Platform as a Service offering that allows developers to focus on code by providing integrated services and tools. - IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack extends OpenStack to manage heterogeneous environments and simplify deployment. It will be used to deploy Bluemix on OpenStack. - BOSH will be used for deployment and lifecycle management of Bluemix on OpenStack. It leverages OpenStack APIs to deploy VMs from stemcells and manage the health of processes and VMs.

This document provides an overview and hands-on tutorial for SoftLayer, an IBM Cloud IaaS offering. The agenda includes a SoftLayer overview, customer portal demo, and SoftLayer hands-on session. SoftLayer is positioned as a global IaaS platform that can compete with AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. The hands-on guides attendees through provisioning a Linux VSI, installing Apache, MySQL, PHP, and WordPress to build out a basic CMS. Additional services like firewalls, backups, and expansions are also discussed.

According to OpenStack users survey, Cloud Foundry is the 2nd most popular workload on OpenStack. You want to deploy Cloud Foundry on OpenStack or already have. What's next? Cloud Foundry continues to evolve with revolutionary changes, e.g move from bosh-micro to bosh-init, using the new eCPI, move to Diego etc. Same with OpenStack, e.g changes from Keystone v2 to v3, from Liberty to Mitaka, network plugins changes etc. Both IaaS and PaaS layers are changing frequently. How do you do in-place updates/upgrades/operational tasks without impacting user experience at both the layers? In this talk will discuss our lessons learnt operating hybrid Cloud Foundry deployments on top of OpenStack over the last two years and how we used underlying technologies to seamlessly operate them

Presentation from IBM InterConnect 2017. Abstract: Containers are a great fit for cloud native application architectures, but that's not the only use case. In this session, we'll explore the benefits that containerization can bring to existing applications running on WebSphere Application Server traditional, whether base or Network Deployment, and how to go about doing it.

This document provides best practices for configuring and deploying WebSphere Liberty Profile in a production environment. It discusses profile configuration, topologies and practices including standalone, collective, and z/OS integration. It also covers application deployment using server packages, build pipelines, and upgrades. Management configuration topics include high availability, security, dynamic routing, auto-scaling, and Admin-metadata. Finally, it discusses sizing considerations and when multiple collectives may be needed.

The document provides an overview of creating effective mobile applications with IBM Bluemix. It discusses IBM Mobile Foundation and mobile services available on Bluemix like Mobile Analytics, Push Notifications, and App ID. It recommends starting with the Bluemix Developer Console which supports building projects using UI, data, and services. The document also suggests focusing on microservices, authentication, and connecting to existing on-premise data when building mobile backends on Bluemix.

The 12 Factor App methodology provides guidelines for building software-as-a-service applications in the cloud. It advocates for codebases that are tracked in revision control, explicit declaration of dependencies, separation of configuration from code, treating backing services as attached resources, and strict separation between build, release, and run stages. The methodology also includes guidelines for processes, port binding, concurrency, disposability, keeping development and production environments similar, and treating logs as event streams. Following the 12 factors can help applications maximize portability, be more robust and agile, and scale smoothly by avoiding reliance on implicit tools or behaviors.

The document discusses how MongoDB and Cloud Foundry can help address challenges with scaling applications in the cloud. It provides an overview of Cloud Foundry capabilities like service brokers and auto-scaling that help manage backing services and scale applications.
