Impact of "IBM Cloud Container Registry is Deprecating Container Builds"

[Harald-U]

ibmcloud cr build is used in these scripts:

• iks-scripts/deploy-articles-java-jee.sh
• iks-scripts/deploy-authors-nodejs.sh
• iks-scripts/deploy-web-api-java-jee-v2.sh
• iks-scripts/deploy-web-api-java-jee.sh
• iks-scripts/deploy-web-app-vuejs.sh
• reactive/iks-scripts/deploy-articles-reactive-postgres.sh
• reactive/iks-scripts/deploy-authors.sh
• reactive/iks-scripts/deploy-web-api-reactive.sh
• reactive/iks-scripts/deploy-web-app-reactive.sh

and also referenced in the documentation here:

• authors-java-jee/README.md
• workshop/02-container.md
• workshop/06-java-development.md
• workshop-one-service/4-kubernetes.md

Seems like we need to replace it with local docker build, docker tag, and docker push. This in turn requires local installation of Docker.
Alternative: look into Code Engines build options.

@thomassuedbroecker I have updated the deploy scripts in iks-scripts, tested, works. Next I'll do the reactive scripts :-)
Local Docker is a requirement anyways, ic cr build requires local docker installed.

@Harald-U Thanks for the list. Let's see how to convert the existing commands and scripts in the workshops.

[Harald-U]

There are scripts for reactive but the instructions (https://github.com/IBM/cloud-native-starter/blob/master/reactive/README.md#reactive-java-microservices) point to a toolchain: "Server-side Setup in IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service"(https://github.com/nheidloff/cloud-native-starter-reactive-toolchain).
The toolchain definition will probably need rework once the deployment method for IKS changes. I wouldn't modify the scripts in reactive/iks-scripts, I would rather remove them. Your decision :-D

@Harald-U Thanks for your help :-)
