Darwino applications be seamlessly deployed to cloud or on premises infrastructures. This deck introduces the cloud deployment, and in particular IBM Bluemix and Microsoft Azure.

1. Deploying Cloud Applications
IBM Bluemix, Microsoft Azure

2. Cloud Deployment
• Leverages the web app server and the database from the cloud provider
• Automatically detects the runtime environment and adapts to it
– The Darwino runtime looks for specific properties and beans files in WEB-INF
– It loads the different files in order, based on the runtime platform
– It also loads global files – depends on the environment

3. IBM Bluemix
• Runs within the WAS Liberty server
• Use the database provided by Compose, like Postgresql
– The standard DB2, SQLDB, service is deprecated by IBM
• Read the VCAP_SERVICES variable and makes it available
– Was used by the SQLDB connection
• Loads the config files from
– “server.config.dir”
– “wlp.install.dir” /etc

4. IBM Bluemix Configuration
<bean type="darwino/jsondb" name="bm" class="com.darwino.config.jsonstore.JsonDbJdbc" alias="default">
<property name="db">postgresql</property>
<property name="user">admin</property>
<property name="password">vfdsjkdljkjlkfsjkllk</property>
<property name="url">jdbc:postgresql://aws-us-east-1-portal.18.dblayer.com:11410/compose</property>
<property name="cp">hikaricp</property>
</bean>

5. IBM Bluemix – Development Environment
• Install the IBM Eclipse Bluemix plugin and WAS liberty
• Bluemix is a DevOps environment, not a development one
– Run your app in a local server, which is much more convenient
– Then deploy the server to Bluemix

6. Microsoft Azure
• Runs within a deployed version of TOMCAT
– Currently supports TOMCAT 8 by detecting AZURE_TOMCAT8_HOME
– Other versions of TOMCAT or Jetty can be supported if needed
• Use the SQL Server cloud (2016) database
• Loads the config files from
– HOME (from the Windows OS)
– Tomcat WEB Application server
• “catalina.base” /conf
• “catalina.home”

7. MS Azure Configuration
<beans>
<bean type="darwino/jsondb" name="azure" class="com.darwino.config.jsonstore.JsonDbJdbc"
alias="demo,default">
<property name="db">sqlserver</property>
<property
name="url">jdbc:sqlserver://darwino.database.windows.net:1433;database=dwodemo;encrypt=true;trustServe
rCertificate=false;hostNameInCertificate=*.database.windows.net;loginTimeout=30;</property>
<property name="user">priand</property>
<property name="password">${sqlserver.password}</property>
</bean>
</beans>

8. MS Azure
• There is a Microsoft Eclipse plug-in to manage the server deployment
– Used to have a bug, but this is apparently fixed
• Else, Azure is exposing the server directory through FTP
– Develop using a local TOMCAT
– Generate and copy the WAR file to site/wwwroot/webapps

9. Connecting to Directories
• Simple development directory
– Use a set of static users defined in managed-beans.xml
• Use an online LDAP Server
• Use WebGate user’s database
• IBM Bluemix
– Use IBM Connections Cloud as the directory
• MS Azure
– Use Azure AD as the directory
