Emerging Architectures for Digital Transformation

Shiva Kumar H. R.

Cloud Solution Architect, IBM Software Labs

• Emerging technology & business trends that are changing the way we

build and deploy applications

• Microservices vs Monolithic Architectures

• Containers vs VMs

• Container Orchestration – Kubernetes

• DevOps – Automated delivery pipeline

• Paradigm shifts that are causing disruption in the way we build

applications and solutions

• Cognitive

• IoT

Microservices

• An engineering approach focused on decomposing an application into single-function modules with well defined interfaces which are independently deployed and operated by small teams who own the entire lifecycle of the service.

• Microservices accelerate delivery by minimizing communication and coordination between people while reducing the scope and risk of change.

Comparing Microservices and Monolithic Architectures

Category Monolithic architecture Microservices architecture

Code A single code base for the entire application

Multiple code bases. Each microservice has its own code base

Understandability Often confusing and hard to maintain Much better readability and much easier to maintain

Deployment Complex deployments with maintenance windows and scheduled downtimes

Simple deployment as each microservice can be deployed individually, with minimal if not zero downtime

Language Typically entirely developed in one programming language

Each microservice can be developed in a different programming language

Scaling Requires you to scale the entire application even though bottlenecks are localized

Enables you to scale bottle-necked services without scaling the entire application

Containers

Containers

Docker Containers

bootfs (Kernel)

ubuntu:14.04 debian:wheezy

ibm-jre:8.0

websphere-liberty:8.5.5 websphere-liberty:beta

mongo:latest

c7 c8= container

= image

Typically microservices are encapsulated inside containers… One:One relationship between a microservice and a container Everyone’s container journey starts with one container….

At first the growth is easy to handle….

But soon it is overwhelming…we need container and microservices management

Enter Container Orchestrator

Kubernetes

What is Kubernetes?

• Container orchestrator

• Runs and manages containers

• Supports multiple cloud and bare-metal

environments

• Inspired and informed by Google's

experiences and internal systems

• 100% Open source, written in Go

• Manage applications, not machines

• Rich ecosystem of plug-ins for scheduling,

storage, networking

Features:

• Intelligent Scheduling

• Self-healing

• Horizontal scaling

• Service discovery & load balancing

• Automated rollouts and rollbacks

• Secret and configuration management

IBM Developer Journey: Spring Boot Microservices on Kubernetes

This journey shows you how to create and deploy Spring Boot microservices within a polyglot application and then deploy the app to a Kubernetes cluster.

• Cognitive

• IoT

A good momentum for building your “Cognitive Journey”

Big Data, Analytics, Cognitive…I need heeeelp !

Cognitive Conversation

Scale human interaction

Use case #1

Use case #1 – Cognitive Conversation

What is this?

―Watson helped us immensely

and changed the trajectory of

the project. The visual tooling

around it made everything

significantly easier – easier to

train Watson on our product

catalog and intents, and easier

to see where we were having

issues. It’s fantastic.‖

- Ian Goodwin, Applied

Innovation organization,

Staples

Add a natural language, intelligent chatbot to an app,

website, device, messaging app or social channel.

Break down the barriers to fast, efficient customer

communications, driving improved customer

engagement.

Examples

Customer Assistant

Provide customers with a fast,

simple approach to resolve

support related questions and

problems. E.g., guide a user

through the process to reset a

password.

Employee Productivity

Provide communication

through channels such as

Slack to schedule conference

rooms, order office supplies,

schedule meetings, schedule

tasks, etc.

Conversational Commerce

Provide guided buying experience

for prospective customers to

purchase goods and services

through the mobile or messaging

channel of their choice (e.g.,

Facebook).

Core Offerings

Add a natural language, intelligent

chatbot to an app, website, device,

messaging app or social channel.

Break down the barriers to fast, efficient

customer communications, driving

improved customer engagement.

Watson Virtual Agent

SaaS solution for

Business Users that allow

you to quickly

CONFIGURE virtual

agents, using pre-built

content, without needing

specific technical skills.

Use one, or both

Cognitive Extend

Understand signals in data

Use case #2

Use case #2: Cognitive Extend

Enable applications to understand signals (visual, text, audio) in data

What is this?

Understand the meaning of signals in data,

empowering developers to extend and build

next generation user experiences in

applications that can interact with humans.

― We chose IBM Watson

because of the quality of the

actual voice-to-text conversion

and how well it integrates with

our systems.

‖Chris Maciejewski, Founder

and Technical Director,

VoIPstudio

Examples

Asset Management

Train custom image classifiers

to "detect" normal and broken

areas of infrastructure in

manufacturing or any

business process involving

images.

Mobile Application

Delight clients by enable

speech interaction for your

mobile application.

Customer Intelligence

By leveraging the power of speech

to text and natural language

processing, organizations can scan

call centers, emails, social media

and chat applications to drive

insight and understand

The possibilities are endless…
