- 6. Deploying & Orchestration InstallingMQ • Initial installation • Applying fixpacks • Migrating between versions • Managing licenses Running queue managers • Create/start/stop/delete QM • Naming queue managers • Binding apps to QMs • Failing over Provisioning an Environment • Create VM, start docker container etc. • Setup virtual network interface • Create storage • Create security policies
- 7. Provisioning an environment ManualConfiguration and in-house management tools Cross Cloud & Multi Resource management tools
- 8. 9 Manage andscript software installation Similar to Chef, use in conjuction with an MQ install package to automate and repeat installations Provides an MQ cookbook to include in Chef recipes Use to perform repeatable & automatable MQ installations Create immutable OS images with MQ pre-installed Cookie-cutter installations of e.g. MQ & Redhat Deploy images to chosen IaaS service Installing MQ https://developer.ibm.com/messaging/mq-on-cloud/
- 9. 10 Simple shellscript can be a useful lowest common denominator Use in a heat template, docker image, VM… Not dependent on specific framework As well as being able to install MQ, can create and start queue managers Can combine with installation steps to give a complete MQ environment Creating & starting QMs https://developer.ibm.com/messaging/mq-on-cloud/
- 10. 11 Deleting resources whenthey’re no longer needed Orchestration isn’t limited to creating resources Tear down resources when they’re no longer required Quickly spin up everything necessary to run a scenario, tear everything down when it’s no longer needed Useful for running one-off tests, creating short-lived development environments Keeps cloud costs to a minimum – only pay for what you need at the time Don’t need to manually keep track of what you created Repeatability terraform apply terraform destroy https://developer.ibm.com/messaging/mq-on-cloud/
- 11. 12 Using tools tocreate a full QM If you use Packer to create an image You can use scripts to provision, deploy that image and start/configure the QM https://developer.ibm.com/messaging/mq-on-cloud/
- 12. • MQ 8.0.0.4+supported to run inside a Docker image •Details: https://ibm.biz/mqdocker • Brings the benefits of Docker to MQ •Lightweight containers for running MQ •Predictable and standardized units for deploying MQ •Process, resource and dependency isolation Binary image in Docker Hub Source in GitHub Sample MQ Docker Container – Install and basic QM setup in 1 command “docker run –e LICENSE=accept –e MQ_QMGR_NAME=QM1 ibmcom/mq” Downloads MQ docker image from DockerHub Starts MQ docker container Creates QM1 Starts QM1 Runs optional mqsc config script 1 2 3 4 5
- 13. MQ Advanced forDevelopers in the Bluemix Container Service It is now possible to spin up MQ queue managers in the Bluemix Container Service with a couple of clicks The fastest way to get up and running with MQ for development and experimentation Pre-configured defaults mean instant access for administration and messaging applications

- 16. AWS Auto-Scaling &Route53 DNS EC2 auto-scaling group MQ EC2 Instance MQ EC2 Instance MQ EC2 Instance MQ EC2 Instance x n • Manually or automatically scale the number of EC2 instances • Scaling policies define when instances scale up or down • Scheduled – e.g. scale up every Monday morning, scale down Monday evening • Based on metrics - e.g. when queue depths stay above a certain level for 15 minutes • Have a listening app register new instances in DNS with unique hostname AWS Service Discover Reference Architecture https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/service-discovery- an-amazon-ecs-reference-architecture/
- 17. AWS Auto-Scaling EC2 auto-scalinggroup MQ EC2 Instance MQ EC2 Instance x 1 • Auto-scaling not just for very dynamic systems • Also appropriate for MQ failover scenarios • Auto-scaling group size set to 1 • Monitoring process checks the health of the instance and replaces it if it has died Networked file system or block storage (e.g. AWS EFS)
- 18. Kubernetes – Createclusters of MQ Containers StatefulSet mq0 mq1 mq2 mq0 data mq1 data mq2 data ReplicaSet Get client IP Service
- 19. Auto-Scaling Challenges Challenges • Newqueue managers need naming • Permanently removing instances should only be done when queues are empty • Application queues • Transmit queues • Dead letter queue • If you’re using clustering, samples like amqsclm can help move your data to another queue manager before deleting it • Clients need to be able to handle changing Queue Managers MQ(?) EC2 Instance Important Messages App ?
- 20. MQ Infrastructure Service Discovery •Runtime components understanding where they need to connect to • MQ clients need to know where they can find a queue manager • MQ queue managers need to know where they can find a queue • MQ partial repositories need to know where the full repositories are Registration • Administrators & planners need to know what they’re running and where • Out dated versions of MQ • Installations that need patching • Queue managers that are underutilised • Queue managers that are close to capacity Auto-Scaling Challenges Admin App ?
- 21. Constraints to bearin mind • QM-scoped artefacts • Durable subscriptions only exist where they were created • Likewise for global transactions • Performance • Putting to the same QM as a getter is preferable to multiple QM hops • Availability • A queue manager with no getters may have orphaned messages
