A Guide to Seamless Connectivity in OpenShift and OKD In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, the integration of complex architectures into our systems is becoming more prevalent than ever. One of these challenges is to consolidate a multi-cloud architecture into a true hybrid cloud one. In this blog post we will delve into the motivations, solutions, and considerations […]
It is widely accepted that using a hybrid- and multi-cloud approach is needed to increase flexibility and reduce the dependency on any single vendor. However, most organizations struggle to operate effectively across clouds, with environments often being disconnected silos with varying primitives, APIs, and management tools. Thus, moving workloads and data between clouds, and implementing […]
Lately I have been giving a keynote at the Vogel-IT yearly Cloud Computing eXchange conference CCX on the history of clouds and the lessons we learned in looking at that history. The conference was held virtually this year on the Star Wars day, May 4th, 2022: https://www.ccxconference.de/ As the conference language was German, I want […]
To allow stable endpoints in an environment of ever changing starting and stopping Pods (and therefore constantly changing IP addresses), Kubernetes introduces (and OpenShift uses) the concept of services. Services are stable IP addresses (taken per default from the 172.30.0.0/16 subnet) that remain the same as long as the service exists. Connection requests to a […]
So far, this sounds like a lot of effort to achieve a little more than a plain docker host – containers that can talk to each other and to the host network, potentially segregated based on kubernetes namespace. However OpenShift SDN also allows pods on different nodes to communicate with each other. To this end, […]
Since mid of December 2015, Red Hat has released the initial version of the Fuse Integration Services. These are various pre-build images which are aimed to make the implementation of Red Hat JBoss Fuse applications on OpenShift V3 as seamless as possible. In this blog I will document the steps required to create a first […]
