Serverless web app and eventing for data retrieval and analytics
Serverless web app and eventing for data retrieval and analytics

In this tutorial, you create an application to automatically collect GitHub traffic statistics for repositories and provide the foundation for traffic analytics. GitHub only provides access to the traffic data for the last 14 days. If you want to analyze statistics over a longer period of time, you need to download and store that data yourself. In this tutorial, you deploy a serverless app in a IBM Cloud Code Engine project. The app manages the metadata for GitHub repositories and provides access to the statistics for data analytics. The traffic data is collected from GitHub either on-demand in the app or when triggered by Code Engine events, e.g., daily. The app discussed in this tutorial implements a multi-tenant-ready solution with the initial set of features supporting a single-tenant mode.

GitHub only provides access to the traffic data for the last 14 days. If you want to analyze statistics over a longer period of time, you need to download and store that data yourself. In this tutorial, you deploy a serverless app in a IBM Cloud Code Engine project. The app manages the metadata for GitHub repositories and provides access to the statistics for data analytics. The traffic data is collected from GitHub either on-demand in the app or when triggered by Code Engine events, e.g., daily. The app discussed in this tutorial implements a multi-tenant-ready solution with the initial set of features supporting a single-tenant mode.

Understand how to Create your private catalog, manage your private catalog, assign access to the private catalog in IBM Cloud®. And import your Terraform templates as products to make them available to your users. With a private catalog, you can limit the services that you want your users to see and the service settings that they can adjust. This way, you have more control over the type of service that is provisioned in your account and that naming conventions for services and service components are followed in your organization.

There are several architectural approaches to enabling consumer connectivity to the workload VPC. When using public internet access to the workload VPC, a web application firewall (WAF) is required. A WAF helps protect web applications by filtering and monitoring internet traffic. This tutorial guides you through one approach to enabling WAF by using IBM Cloud® Internet Services (CIS) and F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition. Global load balancing along with a WAF forms the basis for you to meet IBM Cloud Framework for Financial Services requirements for boundary protection. Alternatively, IBM Cloud® Internet Services can independently fulfill the WAF requirements of the IBM Cloud Framework for Financial Services.

Centrally managing resources in an enterprise account by using APIs

A common request from companies across many industries is how to manage cloud resources across their accounts centrally. At IBM Cloud®, there are a few ways to complete this task. You can either use IBM Cloud projects to manage the Infrastructure as code (IaC), or you can use an API directly, which is recommended for companies with existing resource management systems that are looking to extend them to include IBM Cloud resources. This tutorial walks you through the steps on using a single service ID to manage resources in all enterprise subaccounts by using only API requests. Steps 1–5 are one-time configuration steps that are required to set up access and permissions, while steps 6–9 are operational steps that must be performed each time you want to manage account resources. The configuration steps include obtaining access credentials, creating the necessary service identities, and defining access policies. The operational steps involve retrieving access tokens, listing the trusted profiles that the operator service ID can use, generating an access token for the child account, and using them to manage resources.

In this tutorial, you create an application to automatically collect GitHub traffic statistics for repositories and provide the foundation for traffic analytics. GitHub only provides access to the traffic data for the last 14 days. If you want to analyze statistics over a longer period of time, you need to download and store that data yourself. In this tutorial, you deploy a serverless app in a IBM Cloud Code Engine project. The app manages the metadata for GitHub repositories and provides access to the statistics for data analytics. The traffic data is collected from GitHub either on-demand in the app or when triggered by Code Engine events, e.g., daily. The app discussed in this tutorial implements a multi-tenant-ready solution with the initial set of features supporting a single-tenant mode.

Build, deploy, test and monitor a predictive machine learning model

This tutorial walks you through the process of building a predictive machine learning model, deploying the generated model as an API to be used in your applications and testing the model all of this happening in an integrated and unified self-service experience on IBM Cloud. You will then monitor the deployed model with IBM Watson OpenScale.

Text analysis with Code Engine
Text analysis with Code Engine

In this tutorial, you will learn about IBM Cloud® Code Engine by deploying a text analysis with Natural Language Understanding application. You will create a Code Engine project, select the project and deploy Code Engine entities - applications and jobs - to the project. You will learn how to bind IBM Cloud services to your Code Engine entities. Moreover, you will also understand the autoscaling capability of Code Engine where instances are scaled up or down (to zero) based on incoming workload.

Use a VPC/VPN gateway for secure and private on-premises access to cloud resources
Use a VPC/VPN gateway for secure and private on-premises access to cloud resources

This tutorial provides the automation to create resources that demonstrate Virtual Private Network (VPN) connectivity between on-premises servers and cloud resources like IBM Cloud® Virtual Private Cloud Virtual Service Instances (VSIs) and IBM Cloud data services. DNS resolution to cloud resources is also configured. The popular strongSwan VPN Gateway is used to represent the on-premises VPN gateway.
