Environment Variables

Bluemix sets environment variables when deploying an application to inform the application about the environment it is running in. Application may need to use this information to set configuration such as

the hostname and port to listen for incoming requests. VCAP_APP_HOST specifies the hostname on which your application should

listen VCAP_APP_PORT specifies the port number on which your application

should listen

You can also define custom environment variables to provide configuration to your application



Manifest file

Agile methodology


Agile principles The Agile Manifesto is based on 12 principles:

Customer satisfaction by rapid delivery of useful software

Welcome changing requirements, even late in development

Working software is delivered frequently

Close, daily cooperation between business people and

developers

Projects are built around motivated individuals, who should

be trusted

Face-to-face conversation is the best form of

communication (co-location)

Working software is the principal measure of progress

Sustainable development, able to maintain a constant pace

Continuous attention to technical excellence and good

design

Simplicitythe art of maximizing the amount of work not

doneis essential

Self-organizing teams

Regular adaptation to changing circumstance

Agile practices Agile development is supported by several concrete

practices, covering areas such as requirements, design,

modeling, coding, testing, project management, process,

and quality. Some notable agile practices include:

Acceptance test-driven development (ATDD)

Agile modeling

Backlogs (product and sprint)

Behavior-driven development (BDD)

Cross-functional team

Continuous integration (CI)

Domain-driven design (DDD)

Information radiators (scrum board, task board, visual

management board, burndown chart)

Iterative and incremental development (IID)

Pair programming

Planning poker

Refactoring

Scrum events (sprint planning, daily scrum, sprint review, and

retrospective)

DevOps


Goals The specific goals of a DevOps approach span the entire delivery pipeline. They include improved deployment frequency, which can lead to faster time to market, lower failure rate of new releases, shortened lead time between fixes, and faster mean time to recovery in the event of a new release crashing or otherwise disabling the current system. Simple processes become increasingly programmable and dynamic, using a DevOps approach, which aims to maximize the predictability, efficiency, security, and maintainability of operational processes. Very often, automation supports this objective.

Adoption

The adoption of DevOps is being driven by factors such as:

Use of agile and other development processes and methodologies

Demand for an increased rate of production releases from application and business

unit stakeholders

Wide availability of virtualized and cloud infrastructure from internal and external

providers

Increased usage of data center automation and configuration management tools

Twelve-Factor app (http://12factor.net)

In the modern era, software is commonly delivered as a service: called web apps, or software-as-a-service.

The twelve-factor app is a methodology for building software-as-a-service apps that:

Use declarative formats for setup automation to minimize time and cost for new developers joining the project

Have a clean contract with the underlying operating system, which offers maximum portability between

execution environments

Are suitable for deployment on modern cloud platforms, obviating the need for servers and systems

administration

Minimize divergence between development and production, enabling continuous deployment for maximum

agility

Can scale up without significant changes to tooling, architecture, or development practices

The twelve-factor methodology can be applied to apps written in any programming language, and which use any

combination of backing services (database, queue, memory cache, etc).

I. Codebase

One codebase tracked in revision control, many deploys

II. Dependencies

Explicitly declare and isolate dependencies

III. Config

Store config in the environment

IV. Backing Services

Treat backing services as attached resources

V. Build, release, run

Strictly separate build and run stages

VI. Processes

Execute the app as one or more stateless processes

VII. Port binding

Export services via port binding

VIII. Concurrency

Scale out via the process model

IX. Disposability

Maximize robustness with fast startup and graceful shutdown

X. Dev/prod parity

Keep development, staging, and production as similar as possible

XI. Logs

Treat logs as event streams

XII. Admin processes

Run admin/management tasks as one-off processes

Exercise 5a: Creating a new project and code repository



Best tools for the job

Importance of having a good developer setup Lint tooling (static analysis is useful for code quality) Syntax highlighting, autocomplete, etc. Quality Assurance needs to be part of the development process Continuous testing during development

Test tools such as Mocha, Chai, Sinon for JavaScript



Exercise 5b: Setting up for static analysis and test-driven development



Test-driven development

No code is written unless it is to pass a test. When one function calls another function, ensure that unit tests are not

duplicating tests done by the tests for the called function. Test frameworks provide spy functionality to verify functions are called

correctly rather than testing what the called function returns.

Wherever possible, ensure tests cover problematic areas of the implementation language. For example, with a JavaScript string vs number comparison,

5 > 11 but 5 < 11 type coercion sometimes delivers the wrong comparison



Exercise 5c: Test-driven development



DevOps pipeline in Bluemix

IBM Bluemix DevOps Services can be configured to automatically run tests and if the tests pass, the code is deployed to Bluemix.



Exercise 5d: Adding a REST API, deploying to Bluemix, and setting up the DevOps pipeline



Summary

A modern cloud platform alone does not deliver the agility and speed businesses require today.

A modern approach to application creation is needed, which delivers: Innovation

Agility

Quality

Best user experience

This approach requires an appropriate design, methodology, set of processes, tooling, and architecture to enable developers to deliver.

Many companies are adopting a bimodal approach to manage existing applications and enable innovative new applications to be created.



Module 6: Services Using and adding services in IBM Bluemix



Using services in Bluemix

Bluemix provides services that can be used by applications without requiring you to manage the setup and operation of those services.

Available services are listed in the catalog in the web UI and can also be obtained by using the command cf marketplace.

To use the service, you must bind the service to your application by using web UI or the command cf bs.



Accessing a service

When you bind a service to your application, Bluemix adds details about the service to an environment variable VCAP_SERVICES.

You can view the VCAP_SERVICES variable in the web UI. Applications should be able to parse the VCAP_SERVICES variable.


Click


Parsing VCAP_SERVICES

Node if (process.env.VCAP_SERVICES) {

var env = JSON.parse(process.env.VCAP_SERVICES);

var credentials = env['mysql-5.5'][0].credentials;

}

Ruby mysql_dbs = JSON.parse(ENV['VCAP_SERVICES'])["mysql-5.5"]

credentials = mysql_dbs.first["credentials"]

Java String vcap_services = System.getenv("VCAP_SERVICES"); if (vcap_services != null && vcap_services.length() > 0) {

JsonRootNode root = new JdomParser().parse(vcap_services);

JsonNode mysqlNode = root.getNode(mysql-5.5");

JsonNode credentials = mysqlNode.getNode(0).getNode("credentials");

}

The Java buildpack parses the VCAP_SERVICES variable and can auto-configure bound services. See the Bluemix Liberty for Java documentation.


https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/starters/liberty/index.html


Unit testing when services are used

Do not include calls to remote systems in unit tests. Service APIs provide a contract between the service consumer and

service provider.

Unit tests can ensure the code being tested is using the API correctly according to the contract. We should assume that the service provider has also tested the service

and ensures it implements the contract that is defined by the API.

Test frameworks provide capabilities to stub and mock external calls, but ensure that the API is being called correctly when you run unit tests. These facilities are often called test doubles.



Exercise 6a: Adding a service to an application



Become a service provider

In additional to consuming services, you can create new services on Bluemix Private services are available only to your organization

cf cups biTestService -p "host, port, username, password

Specify the properties you want to make available to applications binding to the service

You can update the properties if requires

Public services, that can become an additional revenue stream, can only be added through the IBM Cloud Marketplace



Exercise 6b Creating a user-provided service



Summary

The VCAP_SERVICES environment variable allows your application to discover bound services and provides the information required to access the service.

Bluemix allows new services to be added through the IBM Cloud Market Place.

SoftLayer can be used to host services. User-provided services (private to an organization) can be created or

accessed the same way as a Bluemix provided service.



Module 7: How Cloud Foundry works Cloud Foundry internals



An open platform as a service (PaaS). The system supports multiple

frameworks, multiple application infrastructure services, and deployment

to multiple clouds.

Cloud Foundry



Lots of languages, frameworks, and services


Multiple languages

Ruby, Java, Scala, Node.js, Erlang, Python, PHP, etc.

Multiple frameworks

Rails, Sinatra, Spring, Grails, Express, Lift, etc.

Multiple services

MySQL, Postgres, MongoDB, Redis, RabbitMQ, etc.

Multiple clouds, Multiple IaaS environments

Public cloud, microcloud, private cloud


Bluemix architecture



Cloud Foundry kernel internals



Design of a virtual machine (VM)



Cloud Foundry: application staging



Choosing the runtime for an application

If you dont specify a runtime when you deploy an application, Bluemix will try to find a suitable runtime as follows: 1. Each predefined runtime has a position set and runtimes are tried in

ascending position order. 2. Bluemix asks each runtime, starting with runtime at position 1, if it can run

the application. 3. The first runtime that responds that it can run the application is used. 4. If no runtime can run the application, an error is returned.

At deploy time, you can also specify the runtime to use.



Buildpacks

Buildpacks provide the framework and runtime support for your application.

The buildpack determines whether they can run your application as part of the auto detect mechanism that Bluemix uses when you push an application.

You can control which platform-provided buildpack your application should use or specify an external buildpack to be used to run your application: Bring your own Buildpack.



Specifying a buildpack

Use the cf CLI to specify which buildpack to use when deploying your application. Use the -b option with the command cf push

You can specify the name of an internal buildpack or provide the URL for an external buildpack.

cf buildpacks shows the installed internal buildpacks that are available:

cf push myApp -b nodejs_buildpack cf push myApp -b https://github.com/dmikusa-pivotal/cf-php-build-pack.git

Advantages to using containers

High density: Because containers share the same operating system (OS) image and middleware (when applicable), you can run more applications on a server. For example, if the full stack image required to run an application requires 1 GB, if you wanted to use a full VM, youd 1

GB times the number of VMs. With LXC containers and AuFS, you can share the bulk of the 1 GB, and you can have hundreds of containers and still use a little over 1 GB (assuming they are all running the same OS image).

Fast start-up: Because containers might have several layers in common, only the new layers need to be copied, dramatically reducing build/transfer/boot/load times. A full virtualized system usually takes about 10 minutes to start; LXC containers take seconds, and sometimes even less

than a second.

Portability across environments: Deploying a consistent production environment is hard. Even if you use tools like Chef and Puppet, there are always OS and library updates that change between hosts and environments. Docker gives you the ability to snapshot the OS into a common image, and when combined with IBMs patterns

technology, Docker makes it easy to deploy a collection of images comprising a given workload in another collection of Docker hosts.

Offline Mobile Cloud Application

Fat Clients with presentation and business logic processed locally.

Data downloaded from backend when on WIFI / Occasionally

Advantages: Well Integrated and can be Optimized for Performance

Availability: even without network connectivity.

Disadvantages: No Portability, Complex Code.

105

All processing done online presentation layer at the client.

Many times assumes constant connectivity with backend

Advantages: Multiplatform, Direct and Instantaneous Accessibility to better services.

Disadvantages: Excessive latency for real time responsiveness, no access to device features, sometimes difficult to maintain sessions for a long time.

Online Mobile Cloud Application

106

WHAT IS MOBILE CLOUD ?

MC refers to an infrastructure where both the data storage and data processing happen outside of the mobile device.

Mobile cloud applications move the computing power and data storage away from the mobile devices and into powerful and centralized computing platforms located in clouds, which are then accessed over the wireless connection based on a thin native client.

MOBILE CLOUD = MOBILE COMPUTING + CLOUD COMPUTING

107

WHY DO WE NEED MOBILE CLOUD?

Mobile devices face many resource challenges (battery life, storage, bandwidth etc.)

Cloud computing offers advantages to users by allowing them to use infrastructure, platforms and software by cloud providers at low cost and elastically in an on-demand fashion.

Mobile cloud computing provides mobile users with data storage and processing services in clouds, obviating the need to have a powerful device configuration (e.g. CPU speed, memory capacity etc), as all resource-intensive computing can be performed in the cloud.

Table of Contents

Workshop overview ..................................................................................................................................... 3 Exercise 3a: Deploy your first application ................................................................................................... 3 Exercise 3b: Deploy and then update the application by using the CLI ...................................................... 5 Exercise 3c: Working with Eclipse and Bluemix ....................................................................................... 13



Workshop overview In this workshop, you will:

Deploy a simple application from the Bluemix web interface. Use the cf command line to modify and deploy the application. Configure Eclipse so that you can create IBM Bluemix as a runtime in Eclipse

Exercise 3a: Deploy your first application This exercise will show you how to deploy a simple application from the IBM Bluemix web interface.

1. In a browser, navigate to one of the following regions: https://bluemix.net: This link should take you to your default location.

o https://console.ng.bluemix.net (Region: US South) o https://console.eu-gb.bluemix.net (Region: United Kingdom) o https://console.au-syd.bluemix.net (Region: Sydney)

2. Click LOG IN and then enter your login information on the IBM id page and click Sign in. You should see your dashboard view:

3. Click CATALOG.



4. Select the Node.js Cloudant DB Web Starter from the Boilerplates section.

5. Enter a name for your application as shown above. The host name information is automatically entered. The host name must be unique on Bluemix, so enter a name with your company name or initials to make the name unique.

6. Click CREATE.

After a short while your application should be running. You can launch the application by clicking on the route.



Exercise 3b: Deploy and then update the application by using the CLI In this exercise, you use the cf command-line interface (CLI) to work with Bluemix. You use this tool in a terminal or command window on your workstation. Use the same sample application that was used in exercise 3a.

1. Click Start Coding and then click Download Starter Code.

2. After the starter package is downloaded, move it to a directory on your workstation where you want to work, such as the Bluemix directory in your Documents folder.

3. Extract the package by double-clicking or right-clicking and click Extract or Unarchive. Do not delete the .zip file: you will need it in Exercise 3c.



4. Delete the deployed application so that you can deploy it from the command line. Click the Overview page for the application, click the gear wheel in the application, and then click Delete App.

5. Delete the service and the route with the application by selecting the checkbox in the Services tab and the Routes tab:

6. Click OK to delete the application.

7. Open a command or terminal window and change the directory to the location where you extracted the downloaded sample application. (The file package.json should be in your current directory.)

8. Log in to Bluemix by issuing one of the following commands. Use the same region that

you used in the Bluemix web UI:

cf l -a https://api.ng.bluemix.net (Region: US South) cf l -a https://api.eu-gb.bluemix.net (Region: United Kingdom) cf l -a https://api.au-syd.bluemix.net (Region: Sydney)

9. Enter the email and password that you used to log in to the Bluemix web UI. If prompted,

select the organization and space that you want to work in.



10. Before you deploy the application, deploy a Cloudant database. View the available services by running this command:

cf marketplace

11. In the list of services, find the cloudantNoSQLDB service.

12. Create the service by running this command:

cf cs cloudantNoSQLDB Shared BICloudant

CloudantNoSQLDB is the name of the service from the cf marketplace command. Shared is the name of the service plan that you want to use from the cf

marketplace command. BICloudant is the name of the service instance that you want to use. Enter your

own name rather than BICloudant. You will use this new name when connecting (binding) the service to the application.

13. Refresh your web UI to you see the deployed service.

14. Deploy the application.

Push the application to Bluemix by entering the following command. Change the application name to your unique name:

cf push BI-MyFirstDeploy-3 -c "node app.js" -m 128M --no-manifest --no-start

BI-myFirstDeploy-3 is the application name and host name. -c specifies the command to start the application. -m specifies the amount of memory to allocate to each application instance. The

default is 1 GB.



--no-manifest instructs to CLI tool to ignore the supplied manifest, which will be explained later.

--no-start instructs to CLI tool not to automatically start the application.

Dont want to allow the application to automatically start because it needs a database to run. You must link the Cloudant database instance to the application before you start the application.

15. Link the database and application by using the following command. Substitute the

application name and service instance names that you used previously:

cf bs BI-MyFirstDeploy-3 BICloudant

BI-myFirstDeploy-3 is the application name used when the application is deployed.

BICloudant is the service instance name used when the service is deployed.

If you refresh the web UI, you see that the application and service are linked, but the application is still stopped.

16. Start an application by running the following command. Substitute the name of your application:

cf start BI-MyFirstDeploy-3

BI-myFirstDeploy-3 is the application that you want to start.

If you refresh the web UI, you should see the application running. If not, you can start the application from the Dashboard.

17. Launch the application by clicking on the route in the web UI



18. In a text editor, open the file app.js and modify the name of the file, the file description, and the value (lines 306, 307 and 310):

Line 306: Change the docName from 'sample_doc' to 'test_doc' Line 307: Change the docDesc from 'A sample Document' to 'A test Document' Line 310: Change the value from 'A sample Document' to 'A test Document'

Save the file when youre finished editing.

When the application starts for the first time, it creates the sample document in the database. We have just modified the code that creates the sample document in the database. The document must be deleted from the database before you restart the application to allow the database to be populated again.



19. In the Bluemix web UI, select the Cloudant Service instance and then start the Cloudant Dashboard.

20. Launch the Cloudant console.

You should see a single database. Select the database:



21. Edit the database document.

22. Delete the document.

23. Confirm the deletion when prompted.

24. Redeploy the updated application with the push command. This time, you dont need to include the --no-start or memory parameter.

cf push BI-MyFirstDeploy-3 -c "node app.js" --no-manifest

25. After the application has restarted, test it to ensure that your changes are now running.



After the application is tested to confirm that the modified code is running, the application can be deleted to release resources for the next exercise.

26. Delete the application and service and confirm the deletion when prompted by running the following two commands:

Delete the application:

cf d BI-MyFirstDeploy-3 r

BI-myFirstDeploy-3 is the application name to be deleted. -r instructs Bluemix to also delete the routes attached to the application.

Delete the service:

cf ds BICloudant

BICloudant is the name of the service instance to be deleted.

Confirm the deletion of the application and service.



Exercise 3c: Working with Eclipse and Bluemix This exercise shows you how to work with Eclipse and Bluemix.

1. Launch Eclipse and switch to the JavaScript perspective. You should use a new workspace, but this is not essential.

2. Configure Eclipse to use Bluemix as a server by opening Eclipse Preferences and clicking Server > Runtime Environments.

3. Click Add. Then, select IBM Bluemix Runtime and select the Create a new local server checkbox.
