I need to deploy a few microservices on the Openshift. These microservices are implemented using Spring Cloud. I use Spring Eureka for service discovery/load-balancing && Spring Zuul for service routing.
From what I understand, Openshift already provides these features ( service discovery, load balancing, routing ) via Kubernetes.
With this being said, can I integrate Spring Eureka and Spring Zuul with the openshift platform?
Woudn't it be redundant to add Spring Eureka & Spring Zuul components into Openshift since the platform itself already provides these microservice features ?
I was thinking of removing the service registry & routing Spring components and just implement routing using Openshift. However, that would leave the project heavily dependent on this cloud platform.
What would your approach be? Use the features provided by the OpenShift (routing, load balancing) or use the ones provided by the Spring framework and try to integrate them with the cloud platform?
Thanks
It would indeed be redundant.
Eureka can be replaced by Kubernetes services. (they provide a load balancer and a domain name for a group of pods)
Zuul can be replaced by OpenShift Routes for exposing your services.
If you are using a platform, use the platform provided functionality. Kubernetes services will be used on any Kubernetes based platform. So I think that's the easy one to replace and keep your coupling to the platform low. The routing can be more difficult, if Zuul is only used for routing; replace it with the OpenShift router. If Zuul also has other responsibilities like security it might be better to stick with Zuul.
I agree with #Jeff and I want to add about using spring zuul as a gateway instead of openshift routes:
If you use spring zuul as a gateway, you provide the accessing from single point to your cluster. Otherwise, your client you must know the urls exposing by openshift routes. It gets increase the complexity of your code and hard to maintain. A major benefit of using an API Gateway is that it encapsulates the internal structure of the application.
The other is about security. If you use openshift routes to expose your internal microservices, actually you open door of the microservice to the public world directly. In addition, If you want to use JWT or security token, you should choose the spring zuul.
The API Gateway provides each kind of client with a specific API. This reduces the number of round trips between the client and application.

We are using Azure API Management where is supporting WebSocket, but we need 2 different endpoint routes for it, because you can`t create route to your API:
http(s)://{base_url} and ws(s)://{base_url},
you must add difference by using suffix, like :
http(s)://{base_url}
ws(s)://{base_url}/{suffix}
or
http(s)://{base_url}/{suffix}
ws(s)://{base_url}
How we can configure same endpoits ?
During the WebSocket passthrough the client application establishes a WebSocket connection with the API Management Gateway
Check for the steps in adding WebSocket API to APIM here.
Make sure we follow below limitations:
WebSocket APIs are not supported yet in the Consumption tier.
WebSocket APIs are not supported yet in the self-hosted gateway.
Azure CLI, PowerShell, and SDK currently do not support management operations of WebSocket APIs
Refer to this SO thread in including two endpoints for same URL in backend, thanks to Hury for great explanation. Though it is for functions app, but the process is similar.
We have a use case to monitor kubernetes clusters and I am trying to find the list of exceptions thrown by kubernetes to reflect the status of the k8s server (in a namespace) while trying to submit a job on the UI.
Example: if k8s server throws ClusterNotFound exception that means we cannot submit any more jobs to that api server.
Is there such a comprehensive list?
I came across this in Go Lang. Will this be it? Does java has something like this?
The file you are referencing is a part of Kubernetes library used by many Kubernetes components for API requests fields validations. As all Kubernetes components are written in Go and I couldn't find any plans to port Kubernetes to Java, it's unlikely to have a Java version of that file.
However, there is an officially supported Kubernetes client library, written in Java, so you can check for the proper modules to validate API requests and process API responses in the java-client repostiory or on the javadoc site.
For example, objects that are used to contain proper or improper HTTP replies from Kubernetes apiserver: V1Status and ApiExceptions, (repository link)
Please consider to check java-client usage examples for better understanding.
Detailed Kubernetes RESTful API reference could be found on the official page
For example: Deployment create request

I have spring boot admin server deployed in openshift with the help of fabric8 maven plugin
And also i have several applications deployed in openshift.
Spring boot admin server (SBAS) use spring cloud kubernetes discovery to discover services (applications) registered / running in namespace / cluster, which is automatic client discovery.
SBAS discovered as expected, its fine but some applications shown / registered in SBAS use http and some use https to check the health as like below
I have no idea, why SBAS use http for some apps and for https for some apps to check the health.
Since SBAS use https and port 8443 it shows applications are offline but those applications are exposed in http 8080 only
I have compared applications code and openshift configurations but i don't see any difference and how to fix this issue.
I am new to all above concepts could some one help me ?
I didn't find solution for this issue, but i did work around which helped me.
Since i am using only one port 8080, i have deleted other ports such as 8443 and 8778 via openshif yml as shown below. but you have you have to expose more ports this won't help.
Currently, we're working on a spring boot application in a GCP project, which connects to a PubSub endpoint in the same GCP project, but also to a PubSub endpoint in another GCP project. I want to use plain spring cloud GCP PubSub components, but with those, I have no chance to set a second PubSub connection to a second GCP project. Also, if I would have one service account, with PubSubTemplate object I have no possibility to target a topic in another project than the current from the service account. Is the only way to implement/extend the PubSubAdmin/PubSubTemplate or is there also a solution like multiple connection and template for JPA databases?
Kind Regards
Sven
Considering correct privileges for another project,you can publish/subscribe to topics in different projects with a fully qualified topic/subscription name
eg. for topic publish pubSubTemplate.publish("projects/other-project/topics/the-topic", "payload").
This should be available with the latest spring-cloud-gcp version. Please see this issue for more details.
I want to establish an connection between API managment and Application Gateway in Azure.
Please can someone provide step by step solution.
What is your scenario? Generally, people set up API Management in an internal VNET and expose a small set of APIs via Application Gateway with a WAF SKU, which is an extra Web application firewall for Front.
