Part 3 of the article series on automated application packaging and distribution. This time about integrating into Kubernetes Native Pipelines with OpenShift Pipelines (Tekton)

Introduction Back in May of 2020, Red Hat and Amazon Web Services announced a jointly supported, fully managed Red Hat OpenShift offering that is natively integrated into AWS. Since the announcement in November of 2020, customers had the opportunity to get their hands on the preview version of Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA). […]
This walk-through example will encourage you to build an Apache Camel application from scratch, deploy it in a Kubernetes environment, gather metrics using Prometheus and display them in Grafana. Monitoring will automatically adjust when the system scales up or down. Table of Contents Introduction About Prometheus To-Do overview Scraping data The application Enabling Prometheus Enabling […]
If you think about Release Management with OpenShift, you’re automatically thinking about Jenkins. With Jenkins you can easily setup a Release Pipeline for your App(s) and Jenkins is tightly integrated into OpenShift. There are a lot of Demos out there which are describing the best practices of using it. And OpenShift becomes more and more […]
Preparation Based on the following github.com project, we are going to set up a Gogs Git-Server on our local OpenShift Environment, which we have set up here: http://www.opensourcerers.org/setting-enterprise-openshift-3-5-platform-macos-virtualbox/ https://github.com/OpenShiftDemos/gogs-openshift-docker As we want to reuse our Gogs Server for some situations, we need to use the persistent version of the Template. First of all we need […]
I am a middleware guy. I am one of those guys who love to think about solving implementation problems. I am not necessarily one of those guys who love to dig into the infrastructure part too much. Typically, required things should be there so that I can use them for my work. But since some […]
OpenShift 3.3 and later contain the functionality to route pod traffic to the external world via a well-defined IP address. This is useful for example if your external services are protected using a firewall and you do not want to open the firewall to all cluster nodes. The way it works is that a egress […]
In the OpenShift world, Services take place on the OSI Layer 3 / IP, while Routing is an OSI Layer 7 / HTTP/TLS concept. Once you’ve wrapped your head around this backwards choice of naming, things are fairly easy: An OpenShift Router is a component which listens on a physical host’s HTTP/S ports for incoming […]
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, […]
