In this blog post, I am going to show you how to use Tilt to facilitate local OpenShift development. Tilt’s capabilities will be demonstrated in a practical example that uses buildah and CodeReady Containers. If you develop containerized applications on OpenShift, this blog post is for you.
Recently, I have been working on the openshift-auto-upi project, which automates UPI deployments of OpenShift. I was looking for a way to configure OpenShift nodes with static IP addresses. After several failed attempts, I found a working approach that can be easily automated. If you prefer using static IPs over the default DHCP provisioning, please read on as I share my approach with you.

In the previous entry to this series, we discussed developing policies with Open Policy Agent. In this final article in the series, we are going to focus on how you can integrate Open Policy Agent with your application.
In the previous part of the series, we explored Open Policy Agent and implemented an ACL-based access control for our application. In this entry, I am going to share with you some of the discoveries that I made while evaluating Open Policy Agent in regards to policy design and development.
Recently I was looking for a way to implement access control for microservices. I needed a solution that would allow defining complex authorization rules that could be enforced across many services. After searching the web, I discovered a very promising Open Policy Agent project that seems to be the right tool for the job. In this series of three blog posts, I am going to introduce Open Policy Agent to you and highlight how it can help you.
The Cloud Native Virtual Event, presented by Red Hat, is coming up on October 10th, 2019. As part of the Development track, I will be co-presenting on the topic: Future-proof monolithic applications with modular design. If you are interested in hearing Eric Murphy and myself discussing the development of highly-modular applications, you can register for the event here. As part of our presentation, we will be demonstrating a sample Quarkus + Vert.x application that can be deployed both as a monolith or as a set of microservices while using the same code and modular design.
Pods on Kubernetes are ephemeral and can be created and destroyed at any time. In order for Envoy to load balance the traffic across pods, Envoy needs to be able to track the IP addresses of the pods over time. In this blog post, I am going to show you how to leverage Envoy’s Strict DNS discovery in combination with a headless service in Kubernetes to accomplish this.
In the previous entry to this series, we reviewed several techniques that help you to prevent event loop delays. However, even the best programmer makes mistakes. What should you do when your Vert.x application doesn’t perform as expected? How to find out what part of your code is blocking the event loop threads? In the final part of the series, we are going to focus on troubleshooting event loop delays.
In the previous part of the series, we took a closer look at the event loop model. In this article, we are going to discuss several techniques that help you to prevent event loop delays.
In this blog post, I am going to talk about how I installed OpenShift 4.1 on a Fedora laptop with 16 GB of RAM. If you are interested in deploying your own OpenShift instance whether for evaluation or testing please follow along with me.
