Click the external link image to see your application in a browser, as shown in Figure 4. What's next? How about you try your own source code? Go on, this is what the sandbox is for—to experiment and learn. In this scenario, you have code in a GitHub repo, and that code also includes the Dockerfile, which is used to build an image from a command-line tool, such as docker or podman. This option gives you much more flexibility in the build process because your file includes specific build instructions.
It also allows you to use images that are not included with OpenShift—for example, I could build a. NET 5 application before. NET 5 is available for the From Git option.
Just as in the previous option, you provide the URL to a Git repo. You may need to provide the path to a Dockerfile, but this is typically in the root of the project so the default value should be fine. The only "inside information" you need is the number of the port being exposed.
I often forget to check this and when my application doesn't appear in the browser, this—the wrong port number—is the reason. Remember this. User and business expectations for responsiveness and costs have been changed by the success of Software-as-a-Service SaaS applications running in the public cloud. It can be a difficult conversation to explain why internal applications cannot evolve as quickly. While many legacy applications have had stable and predictable growth in the past, new user-driven demand means that the resources available to the legacy application might need to be scaled up quickly.
The user-driven demand is difficult for an IT organization to predict because:. Because it is difficult to predict growth and control demand, existing applications need to be repositioned to allow the organization to respond quickly. Modern cloud-scale applications address this challenge by running in containers on a platform that increases or decreases the number of containers running, and thus the capacity of the application, in response to demand.
Portability: Ability to decouple applications from infrastructure and run applications on any platform that supports containers. Scalability: Ability to scale up or down as needed to respond to demand and achieve better resource usage. Flexibility: Ease in deploying containers to create testing environments when needed, without tying up resources when they are not needed.
Language and technology versatility: Support for a choice of languages, databases, frameworks, and tooling to allow legacy technologies to coexist with more modern technologies, whether the code is decades old or newly written.
Legacy systems and new greenfield development opportunities are often connected. New applications and services typically need data from legacy apps, or might perform a service by executing a transaction in the legacy system. A common approach to modernization is to put new interfaces and services implemented in newer technologies in front of legacy systems. Connecting new development on public clouds to internally run legacy applications creates additional complexity and security challenges.
Problems, especially network related, are more difficult to trace and diagnose. This issue is more challenging if the legacy application is running on older infrastructure where modern tools are not available. New applications that depend on legacy systems need to be tested. Modern development methodologies tend to rely on automated testing to improve quality and reliability, so legacy applications likely will need more resources in testing environments. Also, development teams might require access to additional, possibly isolated, legacy application test environments to develop and test their new code.
Deploying legacy applications in containers can remove the barriers to change and provide the flexibility to evolve. The process starts by decoupling applications from old infrastructure and then using the same platform to host legacy applications and new greenfield development.
Both can coexist on the same container or cloud platform and can be managed with the same tools. Operational efficiencies can increase once automation and modern management tools are used with legacy applications without the constraints of old infrastructure. Applications that are not cloud-native need persistent storage for data, logs, and sometimes configuration. However, containers are designed to exist for short periods of time.
Unless other arrangements are made, anything written inside the container is lost when the container is restarted. Legacy applications can be accommodated by arranging for the container to have access to persistent storage. Because containers are typically run on clusters consisting of multiple machines, the storage for persistent data needs to be available on all of the machines in the cluster that the container could run on.
The types of storage available largely depend on the container platform and the infrastructure it runs on. Most applications consist of containers that need to run at the same time and connect to each other. For example, the components that make up the tiers of a 3-tiered application would run in separate containers. The web or app containers benefit from the ability to dynamically scale out to more machines in the cluster as demand increases.
The process of scheduling and managing the containers is referred to as container orchestration, a key responsibility of a container platform. Kubernetes technology is critical to any migration project and ensures the container environment runs properly.
Applications often have specific networking requirements that are key to the manner in which they are deployed. Virtual networks might need to be recreated in the container environment.
In some cases, physical networking hardware might need to be virtualized in the container environment. As with storage, the virtual network for the app needs to be available on each host the container runs on. The container platform manages the virtual network environment that connects components of an application running in different containers, and it isolates those components from the other applications running on the container platform. Kubernetes has become the de facto standard container platform.
Kubernetes uses automated, self-healing mechanisms such as automatically restarting containers, rescheduling containers on different hosts, and replicating containers for use cases like auto-scaling to make sure the desired end state for the application is maintained. Kubernetes works with Linux containers natively, including the popular Docker container format. Red Hat is the No.
The openness of Kubernetes has led to widespread industry adoption and fueled rapid innovation spawning additional open source projects that build on top of Kubernetes. Developers need tools for building the application and any of the necessary dependencies into container images. Manage your development life cycle with Red Hat OpenShift.
