Effective Kubernetes for Jakarta EE and MicroProfile Developers

There are several key techniques to understand while using Kubernetes with Jakarta EE and MicroProfile applications. Examples include: * How Kubernetes primitives (such as deployments and services) align with application server administration, clustering, auto-discovery, and load-balancing. * How to add self-healing capabilities using Kubernetes probes and monitoring with open source tools like Prometheus. * How the CI/CD pipeline of your application can be adapted to Kubernetes. * How Kubernetes can be extended using Operators to effectively manage application server clusters. This entirely slide-free demo-driven session walks through each of these considerations in turn. At the end of the session, you will have all the demos on GitHub so you can explore them on your own.

Java EE on Azure Workshop

This workshop will show you the many ways of effectively deploying a Java EE/Jakarta EE application to Azure. We will start by deploying a local Jakarta EE application to basic IaaS on Azure. We will then deploy the same application to a managed Azure PaaS. Finally we will deploy the application to Azure using Docker and Kubernetes. We will discuss the trade-offs of each approach on the way, offering guidelines for which approach might be best for your application on the cloud. At the end of the workshop, you will have first-hand exposure and be prepared to develop your own Java EE/Jakarta EE applications on Azure.
