Learning 2: MiniKube Kubernetes Cluster WebLogic Application deployment

Hey Middleware Expert, I am going to discuss the Kubernetes cluster deployment. This is most important for the topic in Kubernetes in pod management with replicas and deployment for application Lifecycle management.

MiniKube having built-in Kubernetes Dashboard. This post is a continuation of  our  previous post "Learning  1. Minikube  Kubernetes Cluster  Running in the Oracle VirtualBox".

Create a new deployment using a Kubernetes dashboard

To create the new deployment in the minikube Kubernetes dashboard click on the 'deployments' under the workload. On the top right select +CREATE  and there are :

  1. CREATE FROM TEXT INPUT
  2. CREATE FROM FILE
  3. CREATE AN APP
Select the third option

Minikube dash board deployment of WebLogic 
For the App Name, we’ll call this deployment 'wls-app'. Container image for WebLogic 12c we will take ismaleiva90/weblogic12:latest. Here I've used docker pull for this image once it is available in the local docker registry then we can proceed further above step.

To make a deployment complete we need to expose the container port to the host port.


kubectl expose deployment wls-app --port=7001 --type=NodePort

service "wls-app" exposed

kubectl get pods -o wide

kubectl get pods with wide option

kubectl get svc
Listing Kubernetes services with kubectl

It might take few secs to bring up the container in the pod. We can see that the pod is now Running and we will now be able to curl it/browse it:

minikube service wls-app


WebLogic Admin console running in a Kubernetes - local Kube

6. If you want to delete the WebLogic application service wls-app and delete its deployment
kubectl delete service wls-app
service "wls-app" deleted

kubectl delete deployment wls-app
deployment "wls-app" deleted

Clearing Cache for WebLogic instance

Image
Hey smart WLA,  Here I am with one more interesting story of WebLogic Administration "Clearing Cache". This is most often in development environments, where you need to clear the cache for new releases for Web-tier changes, XML loadings, JDBC connection changes, JMS issues, etc.,. Some of the great developers think like this "I can change minor things directly in the jsp files to test stuff" What is actually WebLogic Cache? Basically all the web-tier related files (.jsp .class, JSPCompiled files etc.,) get stored in ./wlnotdelete/app_yourapplicaiton directory. This is treated as cache whenever there is a restart of a WebLogic instance happen then the WebLogic server will look up for last serviced object status stored in the cache to service for any pending requests. Usually, when your EJB Classes need sessions, JMS object requires persistence, your web-tier may contain static contents then Cache will be used by WebLogic Application Server instance. Cache Cleari...

WebLogic Server name its PID, CPU, MEM

I am on a 'THINKING CHAIR' again, thinking to find the fine chopped shell script for displaying process id on the opposite to it the WebLogic(java process) instance name. This is the regular need for any WebLogic Administrator. 1. Some times the Thread counts monitoring cannot help to know the status of the Server instance then need to look for the instance is alive or not. That is the java process exist for that particular instance. 2. You may get Stuck Thread alert for any machine through your monitoring tools (HP OVO, Introscope or some other). Then you need to get the thread dump for the stuck thread found WebLogic instance. 3. You may want to kill an instance for any abnormal reasons What is 'ps' command does? The 'ps' command gives us information about processes status on Solaris or Linux or any other UNIX flavor.  There are different varieties of 'ps' command paths i) /usr/bin/ps ii) /usr/ucb/ps If you type “ps” at the prompt, and you...

Check system information for Capacity Planning

Working for migration projects requires lots of mesurements about the current running environment that gives you right way for predictions, estimations about the newly build environment. Thinking BIG!!! as architect for the enterprise applications, I started digging details of the system information of every machine I mean, every box and I need to prepare a table that will give all the details about the machine. This will make easy for deciding various things for WebLogic domain and its related environment. Script Objective: Capacity Measurements The Capacity plan is critical where a Senior WebLogic Administrator or Infrastructure Architect need to be more smarter to make wise decisions on allocated infrastructure. If you know the mesurements you can tailor your environment to give best predicated application environment platform. I had seen there is a legacy(old) shell script which gives the required information for mesurements! But it is not really robust and effective to gi...
