OpenShift Commons Briefing: Java Application Deployment Options for OpenShift on IBM - Nigel Brown (IBM Cloud)

OpenShift on IBM Cloud is an extension of the IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service, where IBM manages OpenShift Container Platform for you.

With OpenShift deployes on IBM Cloud, developers have a fast and secure way to containerize and deploy enterprise workloads in Kubernetes clusters. This session walks through deploying a Java microservice in OpenShift on IBM Cloud. It can often be a challenge to figure out the right place to start with microservice deployments — especially with porting legacy code.

In this briefing, you will learn:

• how to create your own OpenShift cluster on the IBM Cloud, how to use the oc CLI (command line interface)
• how to use the OpenShift Web Console to deploy applications.
• distributed logging with LogDNA
• different modes of deploying to OpenShift including from a previously existing image, from a Git repository, and from Source Code using Source-to-Image (S2I).
