Migrating Legacy Java Applications to DevOps enabled OpenShift on IBM Cloud

Overview

You are invited to the upcoming, free Migrating Legacy Java Applications to DevOps enabled OpenShift® on IBM Cloud.

OpenShift has become the leading platform as a service (PaaS) to migrate legacy applications. Running IBM Cloud, OpenShift provides a secure, scalable, and reliable container orchestration environment. Many software developers have heard of DevOps, CI/CD and container orchestration as the means to “digitally transform” their application, but may find adopting OpenShift to steep of a learning curve.

The purpose of this workshop is to show Java developers how to configure OpenShift on IBM Cloud to migrate their legacy applications. We will discuss how to migrate your existing Java applications into containers and build DevOps enabled CI/CD pipelines to test and deploy your applications. The labs will cover how to convert existing applications to containers, create container registries, perform container scanning, configure Git repos, configure Jenkins server, and create build/test/deploy pipelines. At the end of the labs, a Java developer will be able to successfully migrate a legacy Java app to OpenShift and build the appropriate DevOps framework to mange the code moving forward.

This hands-on workshop include:

Review of OpenShift
Why OpenShift over open source and public cloud solutions?
How does OpenShift work on IBM Cloud?
Benefits of containers and orchestration
Key considerations when migrating legacy applications
Key considerations for developing new applications
Key factors for refactoring applications to microservices
What is Git?
What is Jenkins?
Integrating OpenShift with Git and Jenkins
Configuring CI/CD pipelines
Implementing container orchestration at scale

Who should attend: Software Developers and Systems Administrators looking to migrate legacy applications to the cloud

Prerequisites: Attendees should have basic knowledge of using SSH and command line shell (BASH) as well as a conceptual understanding of Linux system admin, Patching, and Automation concepts

Attendees must have a laptop with ADMIN rights and the ability to SSH to a lab environment hosted in a public cloud.
