i found cloudfoundry uaa on github.
github.com/cloudfoundry/uaa
is it designed for cloudfoundry cloud services only or i can use it as oauth/openid server with my web application ?
The UAA is designed to be generic and generally usable as an OAuth2 server and identity management solution. It's use and current home in Cloud Foundry could be seen as validation that it works in production, but it is very much supposed to be used by others. Feedback on the google list would be great, but if you prefer to ask questions, stackoverflow works too (the CF support team monitors the cloudfoundry keyword).

I have this case where i want to manage the ssls in google cloud.
Manually i could just go to GCP > Network Services > Advanced menu > Certificates to manage the certificates.
I googled about http apis and i stumbled upon this REST Resource: sslCertificates. but these apis only work through OAuth.
Is there a way to access these apis through service acccounts ?
I also looked at GCP NPM and all its complimentary packages but none of them had functions to manage ssl in load balancers
moreover these packages dont have any function to initialse the service account at my own. they run only in google cloud environments like compute engine.
Please help 🙏
any kind of response is welcomed 🙏
I'm studying web and confused about the concepts of Django, Apache, and AWS.
I have an experience of developing web backend with Django and AWS.
Django handled the interactions between web browser and server.
AWS enabled the clients to share the same server and data.
But, what is Apache? This wasn't considered during the development.
According to my research, Apache is web server application.
But, I can't tell the exact difference of it with AWS.
Does AWS include Apache?
Please help me make sure what Apache is. Thanks :)
Django
Django itself is web framework used for developing web applications based on python. Which is used for making development proccess more simple and easy. It provides various built in things such as Django ORM, Forms, Security, Authentication, Admin and many third party packages that are available on django packages. Which enables you to develop your application rapidly.
AWS
AWS stands for amazon web services which provides cloud applications such as computation units, cloud storage, databases, cache servers and so on. It provides computation units to deploy your web apps on. i.e EC2 intances (Elastic compute cloud). As well as it provides database such as RDS (Amazon relational database) along with S3 buckets (Amazon storage) for storing media files and serving static ones.
Apache
Apache is web server which is used to deploy web applications on production. You can setup Apache web server on you premises or let you setup in cloud platform such as Amazon EC2 instances. By defalt Django or any other web apps run on single thread which do not give better performance. Apchae web server enables you to run multiple threads/ workers to handle parallel request simultaneously.
By putting all together You can develop you application using Django framework. Than choose AWS for deployment steps. i.e EC2 instance for Apache web server setup, RDS or any other database instance and S3 bucket for storage option.
Please note that this setup may be vary upon your requirements
These are two completely different services/software. AWS (Amazon Web Services) is a cloud platform where you run applications and softwares.
Apache on the other hand is a SOFTWARE that run on servers. So, essentially you can run Apache on AWS.
That is the basic idea. AWS is a platform and Apache can run on top of AWS.
The stated goal for Django is to offer a web application framework that enables quick development and minimal code.That goal can be accomplished with a simple single-threaded web server that simply facilitates development and testing.
The goal of Apache httpd, Nginx, IIS, etc. on the other hand is to offer exceptionally scalable and performant web servers. These applications are highly configurable as all applications differ and there's no one size fits all. They also require different expertise to design, implement and maintain.
My dedicated server will expire soon. I just consider whether to renew it or migrate to Google cloud platform.
There are several points needs to consider:
Currently I am using Google Cloud Storage API to host static large files for my website. That will be fine.
My website also contain dynamic contents, such as PHP. Will Google supports to host such contents?
My website also use WordPress and MySQL database. Will Google support to host such contents?
My server is also host mailboxes and mail forwarders. Will Google support to host these?
My server is also host several add-on domains via cPanel. Will Google support to host these?
To the best, is it possible to use cPanel on Google cloud platform as I am familiar with cPanel.
Thank
Yes, you can migrate a dedicated server to Google Compute Engine. It is possible to run cPanel on a GCE instance. From your question, it sounds like you are used to a managed service where they have configured the server for you. GCE is not managed, so you will have to do much more systems administration to set it up and operate the server.
It is not easy to run email on a GCE instance because outbound port 25 is blocked by default.
I know this kind of question is basic concept of bluemix but, I just worder if I develop an application on public bluemix using certain runtime, such as Node.js or Liberty, can this application run on my own Local server or AWS?
Is it depends on bluemix-provided services that I bind to application?
or If I install cloudfoundry on my local server or AWS cloud host, can the application run without any problem or issue?
thank you
You can try out Lattice. It will allow you to run your own local or AWS hosted minimal cloudfoundry runtime. This will allow you to run your applications. If the services you are talking to are publicly accessible ie. Have a publicly routable host and port, then you can expose them as environment variables in your CF app manifest and reach out to them from your own CF or you could look at user provided services. You will need to upload buildpacks to your lattice/cf installation that are not a part of the standard installation.
DISCLAIMER: Lattice is useful during development and NOT recommended for production use. You should setup the entire cloudfoundry for that.
Is there support for Azure integration to deploy and manage WSO2 products, specificaly Elastic Load Balancer. I am also curious if JCloud and Apache Stratos support Azure as an IAAS ?
Thanks
--Mahesh
jclouds Azure support is in the works and scheduled to be released with version 2.0. You can track progress here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-664
Once jclouds starts support Azure, this will indeed add Azure support in Apache Stratos, WSO2 Private PaaS, WSO2 App Factory - since these rely on jclouds for IaaS support.
For other WSO2 products, if you do not need the IaaS support and just want to deploy them on VMs in Azure (without autoprovisioning, autoscaling, etc.) you might be able to do so already. I have not tried using Azure ELB specifically but have configured WSO2 stuff with various different load-balancers (WSO2 ELB, AWS ELB, nginx, etc.) and they worked. So Azure ELB might as well, if not - you can probably run nginx in Azure just fine too.
