Many enterprises have IBM Integration Bus environments running hundreds of integration flows in production. You have likely read about the benefits of moving to containers, perhaps even more generally of agile integration, and you’d like to explore that. You’d also like to move to a more recent version of the product (now named IBM App Connect Enterprise). However, it is likely you have no, or at least a very limited background in container technology. How do you take the first steps to explore these new platforms and product versions?
In this series, we are going to describe how you move to containers running IBM App Connect Enterprise. We’ll build up to more complex examples, but for this first one we’ll take the simplest possible flow, and we’ll use a Docker container environment that can easily be run on a laptop.
