Building an Alexa skill with Red Hat Mobile Application Platform – Part II

Continuing our journey to build Alexa Skills, we’ll leverage the Alexa Skill SDK (ASK) to create a Custom Skill providing news towards our end-user. Let’s recap the first part of this article series: Skills come in different flavours: Flash Briefing: These skills provide original content for users’ flash briefings Smart Home: With these skills, users […]

Building an Alexa Skill with Red Hat Mobile Application Platform – Part I

Amazon’s Alexa enabled devices, such as the Echo, Dot and most recently Tap provide a hands-free voice controlled environment, to make calls, send and receive messages, provide information and more — instantly. Alexa is the cloud-based voice service that powers this category of devices. All the user has to do is ask Alexa to perform […]

OPENSHIFT NETWORKING FROM A CONTAINER/WORKLOAD POINT OF VIEW – PART 6: CONTROLLING EGRESS TRAFFIC

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 […]

OPENSHIFT NETWORKING FROM A CONTAINER/WORKLOAD POINT OF VIEW – PART 5: OPENSHIFT ROUTER

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 […]

OPENSHIFT NETWORKING FROM A CONTAINER/WORKLOAD POINT OF VIEW – PART 4: CONTAINER NETWORKING USING OPENSHIFT/KUBERNETES SERVICES

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 […]

OPENSHIFT NETWORKING FROM A CONTAINER/WORKLOAD POINT OF VIEW – PART 3: CONTAINER NETWORKING ACROSS OPENSHIFT NODES

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, […]

Implementation of SmartGateway for IoT Demo

This is part 5 of my IoT series of blogs. So far we did look at the following topic Introduction into the planned scenario Building a Raspberry Pi based Smart Gateway ESP8266 and DHT22 based smart sensor Putting the Smart into the Smart IoT Device Setting up an “all in one” demo environment This post will […]

All in One IoT Demo with JBoss Fuse, BPM Suite and BRMS

This is part 5 of my IoT series of blogs. So far we did look at the following topic Introduction into the planned scenario Building a Raspberry Pi based Smart Gateway ESP8266 and DHT22 based smart sensor Putting the Smart into the Smart IoT Device In this blog we will create a first running version of […]

Building the IoT Smart Gateway with Docker, Raspberry Pi and JBoss for the “lazy” ones – Ansible rules!

If you have followed my earlier posts, then you know, that I’m in the process of building an IoT Demo, with a Raspberry Pi2  as the Smart Gateway. During this process, I had to re-install my Raspberry multiple times, but after the second time I got a bit tired of doing the same steps over […]

Securing the OpenShift V3 Registry

In my previous post I described how to manually export/import a Docker image from one system into the Docker registry of OpenShift. A next step would be to push an image from a non OpenShift system directly into the registry. The documentation of OpenShift recommends to secure the registry before opening it for external access. […]
