Introduction
I was experimenting with some Github Actions that needed to make use of Mandrel so, I thought that I should use sdkman. I run into some issues though and I thought I should document the experience
The main issue I encountered, is that no matter how I mixed sdkamn into the mix, my steps acted like it was not
The sdkamn action
It seems that there is a Github Action for sdkman available, which should allow you to manage any `candidate`. I used it like this:
Introduction
This is the second post in my series about the service catalog. If you haven’t done already please read the first post: service catalog: introduction.
In this second post I’ll create from scratch a spring boot application that exposes a JPA crud via rest. This application will use a service catalog managed microsoft sql server database and I will demonstrate how you can automagically connect to it using the service catalog connector.
The spring cloud connector
There is a spring cloud project called spring cloud connectors. This project is all about connecting to cloud managed services. I have been working on an implementation specific to the service catalog. The idea is that you can use the service catalog to manage the services and use the service catalog connector to transparently connect to it.
Overview
This is the first of a series of posts around the service catalog. The end goal is to demonstrate how the service catalog can simplify building apps on kubernetes and openshift.
The first part will cover:
- why
- how to install
- how to use
The target environment will be openshift 3.10 on Linux using `oc cluster up` for development purposes.
Introduction
Working with kubernetes since its early days, there are countless of times where I had to go into creating manifests for the services my application is using. By services I am referring to things like databases, messaging systems, or any other pieces of third party software my application might need.
Intro
During the summer I had the chance to play a little bit with Jenkins inside Kubernetes. More specifically I wanted to see what’s the best way to get the Docker Workflow Plugin running. So, the idea was to have a Pod running Jenkins and use it to run builds that are defined using Docker Workflow Plugin. After a lot of reading and a lot more experimenting I found out that there are many ways of doing this, with different pros and different cons each. This post goes through all the available options. More specifically:
