Accessing private GitLab Repositories from OpenShift
One reason why OpenShift is popular is that it comes with several functionality out-of-the-box on top of Kubernetes, for example image repositories and pipelines. However one component that is missing is source control. I assume that's because source control management systems are often already in place. (more…)

Setting up a cloud-native Sample App on Minishift in an Hour
My colleague Harald Uebele and I have developed an end-to-end sample application to help developers to get started with developing microservices and deploying them to Kubernetes. We have documented how to run this application on Minikube and the IBM Cloud Kubernetes service. This week we added documentation and scripts how to deploy the same application to Minishift in less than an hour. (more…)

How to develop Open Liberty Microservices on OpenShift
Open Liberty is a flexible Java application server. It comes with Eclipse MicroProfile which is a set of tools and APIs to build microservices. With these technologies I have created a simple hello world microservice which can be used as template for your own microservices. In this article I describe how to deploy it to OpenShift. (more…)

Source to Image Builder for Open Liberty Apps on OpenShift
OKD, the open source upstream Kubernetes distribution embedded in OpenShift, provides several ways to make deployments of applications to Kubernetes for developers easy. I've open sourced a project that demonstrates how to deploy local Open Liberty applications via two simple commands 'oc new-app' and 'oc start-build'. (more…)

Free and self paced workshop: How to develop microservices with Java
Over the last weeks I've worked on an example application that demonstrates how to develop your first cloud-native applications with Java/Jakarta EE, Eclipse MicroProfile, Kubernetes and Istio. Based on this example my colleague Thomas Südbröcker wrote a workshop which explains how to implement resilient microservices, how to expose and consume REST APIs, how to do traffic management and more.
