The idea evolved to a hybrid app were attendees to the event could see the agenda of an event and participate in an interactive quiz. After the […]
Introduction In this post I’m presenting a boilerplate for Red Hat Mobile hybrid apps that can help developers getting started with Red Hat Mobile.

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 […]

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.
