WSO2

WSO2 Carbon is a modular server runtime based on Java and OSGi that provides core reusable components for middleware servers like app servers, ESBs, identity servers, etc. built by WSO2. It allows for agile development through component reuse and provides benefits like cloud enablement, robust architectures, and consistent deployment across on-premises and cloud. Key features include using Eclipse p2 for modular packaging and provisioning of OSGi bundles, and allowing servers to be deployed in different profiles for various roles.

Introduction to the WSO2 Carbon Platform Paul Fremantle CTO & CO Founder, WSO2 Sameera Jayasoma Architect, WSO2
WSO2 •  Founded in 2005 by acknowledged leaders in XML, Web Services Technologies & Standards and Open Source. Primary contributors to Apache Web Services projects started in 2001 •  Producing entire middleware platform 100% open source under Apache license •  Business model is to sell comprehensive support & maintenance for our products •  Technology OEM’d by IBM, Progress, Software AG, Alcatel, EMC, and CA •  Venture funded by Intel Capital and Quest Software. •  Global corporation with offices in Palo Alto, USA Portsmouth, UK & Colombo, Sri Lanka •  250+ employees and growing.
WSO2 Carbon Platform
What is Carbon? Carbon is a modular server runtime based on Java and OSGi Built on top of Carbon are a set of middleware servers (App Server, ESB, Identity, API Manager, etc) Carbon includes a set of re-usable core components: • Clustering, User Management, Logging, JMX, ...
When WSO2 had four products: Web Services App Server ESB BPS Data Services Each was written by different teams Not enough re-use Needed a proper modular framework What motivated this?
Benefits to WSO2 development Agile Development •  Small product teams focus on their own area •  Re-use core Cloud-enablement •  All the products get the same cloud enablement, multi-tenancy, clustering, etc •  Same code runs on the cloud as on-prem Best of Breed •  Each product gets enhancements to the core
Benefits to customers Flexible deployment and architecture •  Fit to your architecture Robust architecture •  Proven at high scale Easy to extend •  Well defined approach to create Carbon components (first class extensions) Consistent deployment •  The same CAR files work on-prem, cloud images and on StratosLive Consistent Management and Operations •  Adding new servers and function is smooth
OSGi Originally created in 1999 to create a component runtime for Java in embedded devices (e.g. in-car) In 2003 Eclipse chose OSGi to manage components Provides a module system for Java: •  Better control than packages •  Versioning •  Dynamic loading
Features in Carbon
Eclipse p2 •  Manages the packaging of OSGi bundles into features •  Supports deploying, undeploying, checkpoints •  Advanced features included shared repositories

WSO2 Carbon Kernel •  Carbon kernel is the framework, foundation, the model behind the Carbon platform. •  Carbon kernel has introduced a composable server architecture through which we have composed a number of products. o  Product is merely a set of components/features which runs on the Carbon kernel. o  You get to mix and match these components and build your own product that matches with your requirements o  If you require data service feature in your ESB, connect to our online feature repository and install the data services feature.
Composable Server Architecture
Consistency of config / operations •  Any Carbon based product will have this directory structure. •  If you are familiar with installing, configuring and operating Application Server, same knowledge applies to other products. •  Same theory applies to the web- based management console as well.
