Cloud Native integration using Knative and Camel K

  • Internships
  • Location: Ghent

Introduction

Large enterprises are gradually moving towards public clouds to run their services and applications. These cloud offerings have enabled them to build more innovative and more real-time solutions for their customers. 

This shift has resulted in a hybrid IT environment where business critical applications are both running in on-premises data centers as in cloud offerings. One of the biggest challenges of today is enabling a seamless cooperation between these applications in a highly distributed IT environment. 

This internship aims to use the latest iteration of open source cloud technologies to solve these challenges. 

Internship assignment

In this internship you’ll develop a set of integration scenarios between AWS (Amazon Web Services) public cloud and an on-premise environment. The on-premise services are mainly using a JMS messaging broker for Application-to-application integration and the AWS services are using Cloud Native messaging services like SQS, Kinesis and EventBridge. 

You’ll develop these integrations using a Knative environment. It’s the Kubernetes-based platform for serverless workloads recently introduced by Google. You’ll also use the “Camel K” project which is the latest innovation from Red Hat. It’s a framework specifically designed for microservices and serverless integrations.
