IBM Interconnect 2016. This session outlines the offerings and initiatives that IBM provides around cloud and "as-a-service" messaging. We explain their roles and how they work together to deliver agility to business, while retaining the mission-critical reliability that enterprises have come to expect of IBM messaging. Topics include the work we are doing in IBM MQ Enterprise messaging to facilitate its deployment in public and private IaaS clouds, the use of MQ in Docker and how we are making it easier to build self-service deployments on-premise, the new MQ Light API and how it can be exploited from IBM Bluemix and "fast-speed of IT" systems of engagement, the MQ Light Service for IBM Bluemix and the work we are doing with the Apache Kafka project.

9. Using MQ self service/as a Service
• Many clients have built MQ as a service today
• Orchestration and automation of MQ resources
– E.g. IBM Urbancode Deploy, Chef, Puppet, etc.
• Running on bare metal or in a cloud
• Today’s Guide : Red Paper now available
•

10. SupportPacs now on github
• Source code to make it easier to extend platform coverage
• Can accept public submissions for new function (or bug fixes)
• Includes MA01 and MO03 (q and qload)
• See https://ibm-messaging.github.io/

11. MQ ecosystem – what’s new
11
• Running MQ in Docker is now
supported for production use
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoomAVqk0cI
• Sample cookbook for installing
and configuring MQ using Chef
https://github.com/ibm-messaging/mq-chef

12. Platforms – MQ in Docker
12
• IBM now supports production use of MQ in Docker!
• Scripts to deploy MQ Advanced for Developers on Docker have been available on
GitHub for months
• Runs an MQ queue manager inside a container, isolated from the rest of your
system
• Process isolation – all the processes associated with MQ are run in
their own process space, and can’t see any other processes running on
your server
• Resource isolation – you can limit the amount of memory and CPU
you allocate to a container
• Dependency isolation - all software which MQ depends on is included
in the MQ image, except the Linux kernel itself.
• You can create your own customized image, using this image as a parent, for
example, to:
• Run MQSC commands to configure the queue manager
• Add users and groups

14. Pattern deployment - Virtual System Patterns
MQ Advanced Sys.Next Support in IBM PureApplication V2
•Drag and drop MQ onto Core OS image to compose VM
configuration – e.g.
– DB2 / IIB / WAS and Multiple QMs on a VM
•Support for HA with multi-instance Queue Managers on GPFS
•Management and maintenance of MQ via PureApp console
•Available for Linux x86 and Power/AIX:
