I'm wondering if an external app could 'talk' to Bluemix app using IBM MQ?
Thanks in advance!
A slight clarification on MQ Light in the previous answer.
An MQ Light application in Bluemix can communicate with IBM MQ in your datacenter (via the SecureGateway), but if you are running an instance of the MQ LIght service in Bluemix, the service itself cannot be connected to IBM MQ.
Bluemix currently offers the MQ Light service which can be used for messaging to IBM MQ (formerly WebSphere MQ)
MessageHub also allows you to use the MQ Light APIs via Bluemix to do messaging.

How to connect Node-RED flow to the IoT Platform in IBM Cloud now, since the ibmiot nodes from Node-RED are gone? Almost all Node-RED based IoT tutorials for IBM Cloud referred to IoT Platform starter and those nodes. When running Node-Red in the IBM Cloud, there used to be "IBM IoT in" and "IBM IoT out" nodes which allowed to easily connect to the IBM Watson IoT platform. But now, they are no longer available.
The IoT Platform Starter has been removed from IBM Cloud for some time now. Yet it is fairly easy to add the IoT Platform service to the “vanilla” Node-Red Starter app in IBM Cloud. As soon as it is provisioned you can install the “IBMIoT” input and output nodes using the manage palette menu option in Node-RED. Follow this blog post for more details: https://medium.com/#blumareks/iot-adventure-with-a-sensor-for-a-pet-hamster-part-2-ed56b7e3d21e?source=friends_link&sk=8b9bc03fd0521ae52413476f73c6d987
I want to call Spring cloud eureka application from TIBCO BE and BW for registering the tibco applications in Eureka service registry.
If you're running TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition, you can easily connect to Spring Cloud services by setting a few environment variables. The documentation on the TIBCO Docs website will explain which variables you need to set, depending on where you're running your apps (either CloudFoundry or Docker based). Specifically for CloudFoundry based environments, there are samples that will help guide you through deploying apps.
For the HTTP Connector you can refer to this doc page on how and what to set.
IBM Provide APM as SaaS service to monitor the application performance end to end with insights to code and transaction. It require its collection agent to be installed in various application component to collect the metrics. I can see one o the application template supported in the IBM Cloud (Bluemix) application. I like to use the same to monitor my IBM Cloud native application. Application being in cloud, I am assuming that all the collection agents are automatically installed or I can configure them somehow. Once that is done, APM should help me connect to these application and start monitoring them. While This is my understanding, I do not see any document/article which can provide me the steps to configure the IBM Cloud application for APM integration and connection. Can anyone has experience in monitoring such a application ? Can anyone share article to steps to achieve the same ?
Thanks

Seems like the details of monitoring Liberty-based applications are described pretty well in the APM manual:
Configuring WebSphere® Applications monitoring involves configuring a
data collector for your application servers. The data collector can be
either stand-alone or embedded with the WebSphere Applications agent.
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSMKFH/com.ibm.apmaas.doc/install/was_config_dc_all.htm
Configuring the data collector for WebSphere Applications agent The
WebSphere Applications agent does not need any configuration after
agent installation, unless you want to change the default port.
However, you must configure the data collector, which is a component
of the agent, to set up monitoring for your WebSphere environment.
Configuring the Liberty data collector for on-premises applications To
monitor the Liberty profile on Linux for System x, you can directly
deploy a stand-alone data collector to your local Liberty directory
without installing WebSphere Applications agent.
Configuring the Liberty data collector for IBM Cloud applications To
monitor a Liberty profile running in the IBM Cloud environment, you
must download the data collector package from IBM Marketplace, deploy
the data collector to your local application files, and then push the
updates to IBM Cloud.
I have registered in Pivotal Web Services and do not see the Kafka service there. Is it available for a free trial plan ? How to use Kafka message broker with Pivotal Web Services?
At the time of me writing this, there is no Kafka service in the Pivotal Web Services marketplace. You can see the list of services that are publicly available here.
https://docs.run.pivotal.io/marketplace/services/
If you want to use Kafka with your apps, you'd need to bring your own service or use a third party service provider that's outside of the marketplace.

I would like to know the different approaches to deploy the locally built MobileFirst hybrid application to dedicated Bluemix environment.
I have used containers from public Bluemix environment to create worklight console to deploy wlapp and adapter files. Containers are not available in dedicated Bluemix environment.
Is there anything we can do to deploy the files in dedicated environment?
Thanks in advance.
The ability to use containers in a dedicated Bluemix environment is not supported at this time.
That is correct that the IBM Container Service is not yet available as part of the Bluemix Dedicated offering but we are working on making the Container Service available in the dedicated offering so stay tuned.
