我们可以使用 AWS 上的自我管理 kube.netes 将本地独立应用程序迁移到 Runtime Fabric 吗？

Question

I want to migrate Mule applications deployed on Mule standalone (on-Premise) to Anypoint Runtime Fabric (RTF) Self managed Kube.netes on AWS, but I could not find any document on this.

Any ideas or any document available on this please share it.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Mule applications run exactly the same on-prem, on CloudHub or in Anypoint Runtime Fabric . It is only if your applications make assumptions about their environment that you are going to need to make adjustments. For example any access to the filesystem (reading a file from some directory) or some network access that is not replicated to the Kubernetes cluster. A common mistake is when developers use Windows as the development environment and are not aware that the execution in a container environment will be different. You may not be aware of those assumptions. Just test the application and see if there are any issues. It is possible it will run fine.

Answer 2

Yes, you can.

In general, it is an easy exercise. However, things may go a little bit complicated when you have lots of dependencies on the persistent object store. It may require slight code refactoring in the worst case scenario. If you are running on-prem in cluster mode, then you are using HazelCast which is also available in RTF.

Choosing the Self-managed Kube.netes in EKS have some extra responsibilities. If you and your team have good expertise on Kube.netes and AWS then it is a great choice. Keep in mind that the Anypoint runtime console allows at most 8 replicas for each app. However, if you are using CI/CD pipeline, you should be able to scale it more.

There is no straightforward documentation as the majority of work is related to setup your EKS and associated.network, ports, ingress, etc.
