Will it be possible to deploy an own Windows Server based VM to Bluemix? The team would like to deploy a previous version of ASP.NET not supported by the current cf buildpack. The plan is to deploy a Windows VM with all needed components and libraries to Bluemix.
As reported on VM bluemix docs
https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/starters/index-gentopic4.html
If you have a customized virtual machine (VM) image, or if you want to
create a VM from a snapshot that you took of another VM, you can
upload your own VM images within the Bluemix dashboard into a public
cloud.
You can upload a local VM image file from your local file system or
from a VM image that is located in an external HTTP URL. Note: You can
upload VM images that are supported by OpenStack only. To check the
OpenStack prerequisites, see http://www.openstack.org/.

I have a simple web server application in a docker container that I have pinned to a vm instance in GCP Compute Engine.
I am wondering how to set up automated load testing (Locust load testing via GKE) on the web server application running on my VM instance?
I saw a tutorial here: https://cloud.google.com/solutions/distributed-load-testing-using-gke. But this involves using App Engine. I am not able to find a GCP tutorial to auto load test vm instances in Compute Engine.
Any links or ideas?
The tutorial comprises of a project that you clone from github. from that project you deploy a sample-webapp to Google Compute Engine, with a domain such as test1.appspot.com.
This test1.appspot.com is the target for the Locust cluster.
This sample-webapp is a simple Flask app that you can copy and deploy in your instance in GCP (there are several ways of accomplishing this). Once the app is deployed and reachable from the internet, you need supply its address/domain as the target for the Locust cluster.
I have created windows server VM and installed ofbiz framework with Demo data. The framework is working fine when accessed through VM itself, but I need a way to access it outside (through local browsers).
You need to open ports (8080 and 8443) to access it from outside the azure VM. Here you go on how to do that- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/classic/setup-endpoints?toc=%2Fazure%2Fvirtual-machines%2Fwindows%2Fclassic%2Ftoc.json
You can also use the Apache OFBiz Mailing list for such queries - https://ofbiz.apache.org/mailing-lists.html
HTH!
edit: I have updated this question with more detail
I'm trying to deploy an Docker compose to Service Fabric. This cluster is a custom setup using three vm's (Windows Server 2016 Datacenter with Containers) on Azure running the latest version (CodeVersion 6.0.219.9494).
I'm using VSTS with the 'Deploy docker-compose application to a Service Fabric cluster' task to deploy the docker compose file. VSTS uses a custom build server (Server 2016) on which Service Fabric SDK 2.7 is installed. I couldn't install 2.8 because the task in VSTS is not compatible, see https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-tasks/issues/5505.
So far, so good. But when Service Fabric deploys the container I receive the following error (In Service Fabric Explorer): There was an error during download. Failed to download container image erwinstaal/dockerdemo. This image has been pushed to a public repo on Docker Hub. However, when I use the Docker images command on one of the nodes the image has been downloaded. Does anyone have a clue on what could be going on?
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.

Currently I have some IBM LAB servers which are deployed on local virtual machines. I want to migrate them to IBM Bluemix. Is it possible to take an image of them and upload it to IBM Bluemix or create a new server on IBM Bluemix with those images?
Thank you
Ashok: You can use the Openstack CLI http://docs.openstack.org/cli-reference/openstack.html and upload the image to Bluemix. Check openstack image create option from the list.
