IBM is deploying the open-source software Kubernetes to manage container-based applications in the Bluemix environment. This article follows on from the first article in this series, and describes how to build and deploy a basic IBM Integration Bus (IIB) node in a Bluemix environment, using Kubernetes as a management tool for the IIB containers.

There is already a large and extensive set of Kubernetes documentation available. This article provides a basic implementation of IIB using Kubernetes, so if you are not familiar with Kubernetes, we recommend you review some of the many available articles. A good starting point would be the Bluemix Container Service website, at https://console.bluemix.net/docs/containers/container_index.html?pos=2, and specifically the paragraph “Tutorials for clusters” will be helpful.
