DevConf.CZ 2022 - Designing your best architectural diagrams workshop (accepted)

 

I mentioned previously that I had submitted some content to DevConf.CZ 2022 with a focus on the architecture work I've been doing lately. 

What's DevConf.cz? 

It's a free, Red Hat sponsored technology conference for community project and professional contributors to Free and Open Source technologies coming to a web browser near you!

There is no admission or ticket charge for the DevConf.CZ event. However, you are required to complete a free registration. Talks, presentations and workshops will all be in English.

The following workshop was accepted this week, so let's get ready to design your best architecture diagrams!

Edge medical diagnosis - Example architecture with GitOps

Part 4 - Example architecture with GitOps

In our previous article from this series we talked about the example predictive analysis architecture found in an edge medical diagnosis solution for the healthcare industry.

The process was laid out how we approached the use case and how portfolio solutions are the base for researching a generic architecture. It continued by discussion how we approached the use case by researching successful customer portfolio solutions as the basis for a generic architecture.

Now it's time to look at one final example architecture.

This article walks you through an example architecture for using GitOps for providing a deployment and development example for edge medical diagnosis scenarios.

Edge medical diagnosis - Example predictive analysis

Part 3 - Example predictive analysis

In our previous article from this series we talked about the logical common architectural elements found in an edge medical diagnosis solution for the healthcare industry.

The process was laid out how we approached the use case and how portfolio solutions are the base for researching a generic architecture. It continued by laying out the process of how we approached the use case by researching successful customer portfolio solutions as the basis for a generic architecture.

Having completed our discussions on the logical view of the architecture, it's now time to look at a specific example.

This article walks you through an example predictive analysis scenario showing how expanding the previously discussed elements provides an example for edge medical diagnosis scenarios.

Edge medical diagnosis - Common architectural elements

Part 2 - Common architectural elements

In our previous article from this series we introduced a use case around edge medical diagnosis for the healthcare industry.

The process was laid out how we approached the use case and how portfolio solutions are the base for researching a generic architecture. 

The only thing left to cover was the order in which you'll be led through the details.

This article starts the real journey at the very top, with a generic architecture from which we'll discuss the common architectural elements one by one.

Edge medical diagnosis - Architectural introduction

Part 1 - Architectural introduction

The last few years we have been digging deeply into the world of architectures with a focus on presenting access to ways of mapping successful implementations for specific use cases.

It's an interesting challenge in that we have the mission of creating architectural content based on common customer adoption patterns. 

That's very different from most of the traditional marketing activities usually associated with generating content for the sole purpose of positioning products for solutions. When you're basing the content on actual execution in solution delivery, you're cutting out the chuff. 

What's that mean?

It means that it's going to provide you with a way to implement a solution using open source technologies by focusing on the integrations, structures and interactions that actually have been proven to work. What's not included are any vendor promises that you'll find in normal marketing content. Those promised that when it gets down to implementation crunch time, might not fully deliver on their promises.

Enter the term Portfolio Architecture. 

Let's look at these architectures, how they're created and what value they provide for your solution designs.

Red Hat Summit Connect and Partner Experience Dublin - Talking Architecture Shop (slides)

The Red Hat Summit Connect Partner Experience and Red Hat Summit Connect events for customers were held this week in Dublin. Each was a one day event,  part of a new series of small-scale events, that brings the discussion of open source technology to your local cities.

The days were intended to bring updates and insights into the latest technologies and also offered the opportunity to get hands on with a few Red Hat technologies.  There were different streams of session topics hosting tech talks led by Red Hat experts and also business focused sessions delivered from local industry leaders including some fantastic partner and customer stories.

I was invited to give a session at both events in Dublin this week and wanted to share the slides presented that included links to all of the available content we discussed. 

Red Hat Summit Connect Partner Experience Dublin - Exploring Open Source Success at Scale

The Red Hat Summit Connect Partner Experience Dublin is a one day event,  part of a new series of small-scale events, that brings the discussion of open source technology to your local cities.

 The day provides updates and insights into the latest technologies and will also offer the opportunity to get hands on with Red Hat technologies.  There will be different streams of session topics that will host tech talks led by Red Hat experts and also business focused sessions delivered from industry leaders including some fantastic partner and customer stories.

I've been invited to give a session in Dublin and wanted to share the planning with you for this event in November. 

Codeanywhere adventures - Getting started with developer decision management tooling (part 4)

 In the previous article in this series, we introduced the world of Codeanywhere, a cloud IDE and container development experience all available in just your browser. 

Are you ready for some more amazing, easy to use, developer tooling that requires not a single tooling installation and no configuration? 

That's what the team at Codeanywhere are promising us when I stumbled on their website last week. They "...don't require you to engage in complex installations and configuration setups. Simply access our in-browser IDE for everything you need to build amazing websites in a productive and more developer-friendly way."

In a final part four of this series, we'll setup a complete decision management Java container project in Codeanywhere.

Beginners Guide to Installing Decision Management Tooling in a Local Container using Podman

 Recently the open source community project called Podman announced that there was solid support for using its container tooling to replace docker on your local development machine. Ring in the joyous music and off we go to explore how we can get back to basics without the issues of licensing around the developer desktop container tooling.

Note, the rest of this tutorial will be based on the current version of Podman at the time of publication, v3.3.1.

The first thing you want to do is just install the Podman tooling, which is fairly painless using BREW:

$ brew install podman

Now you are ready to kick off the virtual machine with the proper settings to start doing something real, like adding developer decision management tooling to your local machine.
