- 7. What is The Grid Platform?
- 11. Cloud Foundry can be more than Luke Didja know? - Run docker images - Push SQLPlus client + SQL and run as task - Container to container networking - Volume mounts - Windows - JEE apps - Side cars - Istio/Envoy - Push MySQL Router as an app to proxy InnoDB clusters
- 12. The 4 “Re’s” of Application Transformation Re-Host Containerize aka “lift and shift” Re-Platform Minimal efforts to run natively on PAS Re-Factor Convert to Cloud Native aka “Modernize” Re-Build Decompose and rewrite from the ground up Application Portfolio Funneling Process Business and Technical filters, prioritization, scheduling, etc. AppPlatform

- 16. Dockerizing Grid Config Port to expose App Name RPMs - how Grid apps are packaged today. anyone do this? Includes a packaged mini version of our grid environment! Traefik - for specialized app ingress handling. wait, I thought this is a k8s thing? FluentBit - lots of separate log files written from Grid Apps. Popular amongst K8s too! Grid app! Docker image to be deployed onto AppPlatform! Wizardly shell script
- 17. Grid App Running Flow: 1. Pull in rpm’s and base image of mini grid 2. Generate Dockerfile 3. Cf push! Less Common Platform features exploited 1. Enabling docker support 2. Search domains 3. Registry whitelisting 4. Container to Container Java/Tomcat App FluentBit Log files Traefik Platform App Ingress Kafka Running Grid App instance on AppPlatform MySQL Stdout Log Platform log aggregation
