Making the best of Jakarta EE, Kubernetes, WebSphere and the cloud with AI

Track: JakartaEE

Abstract

This hands-on session will show you how to enable deployments of Jakarta EE applications using Open Liberty or WebSphere Liberty to the cloud with AI. Attendees will explore how to set up a Liberty deployment on Kubernetes, and how to streamline the containerization, deployment and provisioning of resources using AI. We’ll also cover how to establish a SQL Database connection to the deployed application. We’ll be using GitHub Copilot and Copilot Chat to access generative AI, enabling smooth, secure deployments while saving time. By the end, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of how to optimize, test, and deploy their Java applications on the cloud using Open/WebSphere Liberty and Kubernetes.
