Running the TIBCO BusinessWorks Container in Kubernetes

This section explains the procedure to run a TIBCO BusinessWorks container in Kubernetes.

Prerequisites

  • Download and install kubectl, the Kubernetes CLI tool. For details about installation and configuration, see the kubectl documentation.
    Note: When you obtain third-party software or services, it is your responsibility to ensure you understand the license terms associated with such third-party software or services and comply with such terms.
  • Set up a Kubernetes cluster.

Procedure

  1. Deploy the Hawk Container Edition components on the Kubernetes cluster. For more details, see the Hawk Container Edition documentation.
  2. Create hkbwce.yml file in a temporary directory and add the following content: 
    apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
 name: bwcehawkadapter
 labels:
   name: bwcehawkadapter
   app: hkce
spec:
 containers:
 - name: bwcehawkadapter
   image: <aws_docker_registry>/hawkadapter:improved
   imagePullPolicy: Always
   env:
   - name: HOST_NAME
     valueFrom:
      fieldRef:
        apiVersion: v1
        fieldPath: status.podIP
   - name: HOST_IP
     valueFrom:
      fieldRef:
       fieldPath: status.hostIP
   - name: tcp_self_url
     value: ${HOST_NAME}:2551
   - name: ami_agent_url 
     value: ${HOST_IP}:2571
   ports:
   - containerPort: 2551
     protocol: TCP
    Note: The ami_agent_url environment variable value set in TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition is same as the ami_tcp_session environment variable value set in the Hawk Agent container.
  3. Run the following command to deploy TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition with the microagent in Kubernetes.
    kubectl create -f hkbwce.yml
