Containerization of traditional Java EE Application Servers needs a mind-shift of how applications should be developed and how existing domains can be transformed to a managed Kubernetes Docker platform. This session will explain some key aspects around getting your Java application server platform migrated to Kubernetes where everything lives in "Yaml", "Containers", API's and JSON.

The session will also cover everything needed for such a huge transformation with Kubernetes, Helm charts , operators, and several (Cloud) Kubernetes Engines and all that's needed for this transformation. This session will discuss how a major transition was made from traditional applications to a microservices landscape, in this particular case using Helidon with GraalVM.

Bringing this transformation from the design phase to live operational production needs you to take action and think about aspects like Cloud, DevOps, CI/CD, containerization and what that means for your organization in terms of development, lifecycle management, team structures, and ways of working.

The session reviews how to handle the path of this transition, which affects the entire IT organization, from architect to operator, from application to infrastructure, and culture change.
