Primeur is excited to participate in this event because one year ago we started our journey to cloud and Liberty was our driver. Why WebSphere Liberty? Let me share some of the important things you should be aware of. Liberty is Born in the cloud era. From day 0, Liberty had cloud in its veins! Available to all Operating Systems with the same administration experience on Linux, Windows, Unix and z/OS Easy to install: unzip / tar /pax and you are ready to work Modular and flexible to drive your legacy applications to the cloud Native Docker Support and in the IBM Cloud Pak for Applications The agenda includes many talks. We do not want to miss the following: Liberty - Your Java Runtime for All Occasions by Graham Charters We are always looking forward to new topics and trends. Let me share what we are looking forward to: IBM Cloud Pak: Before cloud paks, at Primeur we spent weeks creating and maintaining our middleware layer under the

I love joking around titles name, is always fun : ) Well..  great days, two years in a row and IBM is continuosly doing well in every cloud aspect but let me be specific. DAY 1: Community Day Embracing and driving the community is one of the key point for IBM, you can't do anything without a good community and also good speaker to share knowledge and vision about the incoming year! My champion managers Libby and Sarah are doing well like always ( I can't forget the face of Sarah on how was tired that day!! Great job Sarah! ) Another note is for project Debater , I remember the enormous spam when Google AI did a phone call to take an appointment for an hair cut, what we can do now when you discuss with an AI about economics and social topics!? Kudos to Harish Natarajan for his debate! DAY 2:  Chairman Keynote Clear, Direct, Simple skills difficult to manage when you facing thousand of people that you need to inspire and drive but this what Ginny Rometty is doing over

Most of the people thinking about opensource they think in my perspective mostly to Red Hat and other company rather than IBM. IBM is really active in opensource for a long time, helped Apache Foundation , Eclipse Foudation collaborate with the Linux Foundation and Red Hat as well. I think I can create a different long post to describe how is active and how helped opensource in different way. We can analyze  this acquisition from different perspective, from Financial to  Development. My personal point of view ( from a Cloud Architect ) most of the application around the world in banking, assurance and not only are java based, think about java in cloud in the past Year could be hard. Right now we can talk about java in the cloud with opensource project like OpenJ9 and OpenLiberty and the community behind. If you think about moving from on premise to cloud or from monolitch to microservice you can't say " well it's time to rework " because you are throwing years o

Well, I enjoyed this meetup as a speaker and I love the effort from Jacopo Nardiello between family, work and community things in general. In this tweet you can feel it! I was honored as IBM Champion to speak and share my knowledge on Istio and I hope to share more information on IBM Cloud Private and IBM Kubernetes as a service in the future! Thanks Jacopo! Well Done!

In a distrubuted system, storage isn't simple to manage without a good abstraction, kubernetes offer an object called persistent volume to let pod to reclaim storage for persisting data. In the pod definition you can define your volume type with another object called persistentVolumeClaim where you can define type size and many other things. There are different phase in the persistent storage lifecycle: Provisioning : when an administrator create a Persistent Volume or a cloud resource dynamically request Binding : when a PVC is created  k8s control loop watch if there are Persisten Volume matching the PVC  and bind them together. Use : when the bound volume is mounted in to the pod Releasing : whene the POD is done and an API request is sent to delete the related bound PVC, the volume in this stage remains Reclaim : there are three options related to this state: - Retain:  keep data interact and allow an administrato to handle data from storage - Delete:  tells the volume
