This workshop demonstrates the use of MicroProfile, Docker, Kubernetes and Istio technologies for implementing, deploy and update a set of cloud-native microservices. The workshop has be structured as four modules:
- Module 1 covers the foundational technologies for producing and consuming REST services with some added extras like talking to Watson and storing your data in a no-sql database.
- Module 2 covers the technologies essential for developing and deploying microservices at scale where the microservices are the responsibility of autonomous teams.
- Module 3 covers the observability operational needs of microservice deployments at scale, such as tracing request and understanding microservice health.
- Module 4 covers the deployment, scaling and updating of microserivces at scale, through Kubernetes.
Each workshop module consists of a number of Open Liberty Guides each of which demonstrates a key cloud-native microservice technology. Each Guide is designed to be taken independently so if you just want to learn about a specific technology you can just take that guide. If, however, you're goal is to learn about all the technologies, then working through them in the order shown below is recommended.
- Cloud-native Java Workshop
- Introduction
- Module 1: REST Foundation with Watson and Cloudant
- Module 2: Scalable Microservice Development
- Module 3: Microservice Observability
- Module 4: Microservice Deployment and Update

-
IBM Cloud CLI:
MAC:
curl -fsSL https://clis.cloud.ibm.com/install/osx | shLINUX:
curl -fsSL https://clis.cloud.ibm.com/install/linux | shWINDOWS: Open command prompt as an administrator and run the following command.
powershell -command "Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted; iex(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://clis.cloud.ibm.com/install/powershell')" -
IBM Cloud Container Registry plug-in: To install the container registry plug-in, run the following command:
ibmcloud plugin install container-registry -
IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service plug-in: To install the Kubernetes registry plug-in, run the following command:
ibmcloud plugin install kubernetes-service
If you will be taking the workshop at a location with limited network bandwidth, it is recommended you do the following beforehand in order to populate your local .m2 repo and Docker cache.
git clone https://github.com/gcharters/workshop-cloud-native-java.git
cd workshop-cloud-native-java
mvn install
docker build -t prime:mym2 .
Cloud-native is an approach to application development and deployment. It's the product of a number of industry movements over the past 10-15 years - agile development practices, DevOps, Microservices and Cloud. Cloud-native applications are developed using agile practices, use continuous integration/continuous delivery to streamline deployment, are architected around team-aligned microservices, and leverage the cloud for rapid deployment at scale.
When choosing which technologies to use for cloud-native microservices, the combination of open source and open standards can be very important. The combination enables a low cost (free) of entry and at the same time avoids being locked in to a single vendor implementation.
Eclipse MicroProfile is a set of industry specifications for developing and deploying cloud-native Java Microservices. The specifications address the important challenges of cloud-native microservices, such as toleration of service failures, security, service metrics and health, and more. Open Liberty is an open source, lightweight, composable Java server that implements the MicroProfile specifications.
Kubernetes is an Open Source platform for deployment, scaling and managing containers and services. It uses a declarative yaml-based approach to describe deployments, for example, the containers to be deployed, their scaling requirements, the services they provide, and so on.
This workshop demonstrates how to address cloud-native microservice requirements using the combination of MicroProfile, Docker and Kubernetes technologies. The workshop guides can be taken independently, or in the order they are introduced, below.
