Abstract:
In previous WebSphere User Group meetings we've looked at the value that containerising applications with Docker can bring and the initial work that was done in creating a WebSphere Liberty image for Docker Hub. This session will cover the next chapter as the story unfolds. We'll demonstate the support being added to WebSphere Developer Tools for working with containerised Liberty instances, using collectives to manage containers running WebSphere Liberty and Node.js, and scaling a Liberty application across a Docker Datacenter deployment with Docker Compose. We'll also look at how WebSphere Application Server traditional can benefit from the use of containers.
