Prerequisite to follow before install IBM Cloud Private

Before to install IBM Cloud Private you need to prepare your boot node with a set a preinstallation task documented here.

In configuring your cluster follow all the steps are really clear.
In Installing Docker for IBM® Cloud Private you need take care about the right version of docker for ICP V2.1, I'm using docker ce and the latest supported version is 17.0.6 here my steps


  • yum install -y yum-utils   device-mapper-persistent-data   lvm2
  • yum-config-manager     --add-repo     https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
  • yum list docker-ce --showduplicates | sort -r
  • yum install  docker-ce-17.06.2.ce-1.el7.centos.x86_64

Optionally you can configure a differente storage than /var/lib/docker and if you do it before installing docker you can simply follow these command:
  • mkdir /docker
  • mkdir -p /var/lib/docker
  • mount --rbind /docker /var/lib/docker
In test enviroment you can skip this step but in production is really good to have a specifc disk where you place all docker images.

This is the exact sequence of command I did in my prod enviroment on boot server:

  • mkdir /docker
  • mkdir -p /var/lib/docker
  • mount --rbind /docker /var/lib/docker
  • yum install -y yum-utils   device-mapper-persistent-data   lvm2
  • yum-config-manager     --add-repo     https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
  • yum list docker-ce --showduplicates | sort -r
  • yum install  docker-ce-17.06.2.ce-1.el7.centos.x86_64
Hope this help!

IBM and Red Hat long story, long love, now married!

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...

MY EXPERIENCE @ HYBRID CLOUD SUMMIT IN ZURICH

I can simply say “it was a great experience” and based on the audience probably people can trust me, but let's go deeper into the event. My favorite part of the event was the panel session with cloud discussions and question answer about slides and example presented during the session. Based on discussion the most relevant general questions are: Adoption: best practices on adopting cloud technologies Development: how to develop cloud applications in the right way and how we can enable fresh people into this great world IBM and Forrester gave a lot of answers because there are different aspects and factors we need to cover when we talk about cloud development and adoption, let me share some of these: Security: 12 factor principle is the main manifesto to follow Digital Experience: in cloud you need to create applications user centric Performance: in cloud you need to give best experience to the end user in every part of the world Microservice: rework of the legacy ...
