Kris Kobylinski, Jon Bennett, Norman Seto, Grace Lo, Fred Tucci · Computer Science and Software Engineering · 2014
This workshop gave you an overview of IBM Bluemix and presented the enterprise application development process in the cloud environment. You have learned how to prototype an application and work with runtimes in the cloud environment. You also learned about boilerplates and services in IBM Bluemix. Participants used the Liberty profile to create a Java application and used services to extend the Java application's functions. Participants learned how to deploy applications using the blue-green, or zero downtime, deployment. Application monitoring and scaling were discussed as well as the charges for using Bluemix and how to estimate those charges. Participants acted as different personas; thereby using Bluemix as it would be used by a variety of clients. By the end of the workshop you have understood what Platform as a Service (PaaS) is and why to use Bluemix for cloud application development.
