Use the monthly runtime 

IBM® Cloud Foundry is deprecated and no longer supported as of 1 June 2023. For more information, see the [deprecation details](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cloud-foundry-public?topic=cloud-foundry-public-deprecationdep_details).

The Liberty monthly runtime provides the latest version and access to new functionality and programming models.

To use the Liberty monthly runtime in IBM Cloud, you will need to do the following:

Set the JBP_CONFIG_LIBERTY environment variable to "version: +" and IBM_LIBERTY_MONTHLY environment variable to true. These variables enable the [Liberty monthly runtime](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cloud-foundry-public?topic=cloud-foundry-public-buildpack_defautsliberty_versions). For example:



*  Using the IBM Cloud CLI tool:

ibmcloud cf set-env <yourappname> JBP_CONFIG_LIBERTY "version: +"

ibmcloud cf set-env <yourappname> IBM_LIBERTY_MONTHLY true
*  Or, using the manifest.yml file:

env:
JBP_CONFIG_LIBERTY: "version: +"
IBM_LIBERTY_MONTHLY: true

env:
JBP_CONFIG_LIBERTY: "[version: +, app_archive: {features: javaee-8.0]}]"
IBM_LIBERTY_MONTHLY: true



If you are enabling the monthly runtime on an existing app you may need to delete and re-push your app after you set the environment variables.
Troubleshooting for runtimes 

IBM® Cloud Foundry is deprecated and no longer supported as of 1 June 2023. For more information, see the [deprecation details](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cloud-foundry-public?topic=cloud-foundry-public-deprecationdep_details).

You might experience problems when you use IBM Cloud® runtimes. In many cases, you can recover from these problems by following a few easy steps.



 General troubleshooting 



 Obsolete buildpack used when an app is pushed 

You might not be able to use the latest buildpack components when you push an app. You can use buildpacks that have built-in mechanisms to prevent loading obsolete components, or you can delete the contents in your app's cache directory before you push or restage the app.

 What’s happening 

When you push or restage an app after the buildpack is updated, the latest buildpack components aren't loaded automatically. As a result, your app uses the obsolete buildpack components from the cache. Updates that were applied to the buildpack since the last time you pushed the app aren't implemented.

 Why it’s happening 

Some buildpacks aren't configured to automatically download all updated components from the internet to ensure that you always use the latest version.

 How to fix it 

You can use buildpacks that have built-in mechanisms to avoid loading obsolete components, for example, the following buildpacks:



* [Cloud Foundry Java buildpack](https://github.com/cloudfoundry/java-buildpack). This buildpack has a built-in mechanism to ensure that the latest version of the buildpack is used. For more information about how this mechanism works, see [extending-caches.md](https://github.com/cloudfoundry/java-buildpack/blob/main/docs/extending-caches.md).
* [Cloud Foundry Node.js buildpack](https://github.com/cloudfoundry/nodejs-buildpack). This buildpack provides similar functions by using environment variables.
Best practices for running apps in production 

IBM® Cloud Foundry is deprecated and no longer supported as of 1 June 2023. For more information, see the [deprecation details](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cloud-foundry-public?topic=cloud-foundry-public-deprecationdep_details).

Cloud Foundry is an excellent platform for running cloud-ready apps in production. These best practices can help with running production Cloud Foundry apps with IBM Cloud®.



  Multiple instances 

Cloud-ready apps are horizontally scalable, and are therefore able to dynamically add or remove app instances. Run at least three instances of each app to help avoid unexpected downtime in the event of isolated incidents or platform maintenance.





  Monitoring options 

IBM Cloud makes it easy to monitor your app with services like [IBM Cloud Monitoring](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Monitoring-with-Sysdig?topic=Monitoring-with-Sysdig-getting-started) and [New Relic](http://newrelic.com/). Check out [Integrated logging capabilities](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cloud-foundry-public?topic=cloud-foundry-public-monitoring_logging_cloud_foundry_apps) for more information.





  Support options 

IBM Cloud paid pricing plan offers a number of different account types with optional paid support. No matter the type of your account, if you plan to bring an app to production on IBM Cloud, consider enrolling in this option.

With or without paid support, you can get help as described at [Getting support](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/get-support), but paying for support will help ensure that your support tickets will be given the level attention that they deserve.

3. Click Install Packages.
4. Click the Watson Package group.
5. Click the Tone Analyzer Package.
6. Click Install.
7. After the package is installed you are redirected to the actions page and can search for your new package, which is named tone-analyzer-v3.
8. To use the actions in the tone-analyzer-v3 package, you must bind service credentials to the actions.



* To bind service credentials to all actions in the package, follow steps 4 and 5 in the [CLI instructions](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/openwhisk?topic=openwhisk-pkg_tone_analyzertoneanalyzer_cli).
* To bind service credentials to individual actions, complete the following steps in the console:



You must complete the following steps for each action that you want to use.



1. Click an action from the tone-analyzer-v3 Package that you want to use. The details page for that action opens.
2. In the left navigation, click the Parameters section.
3. Enter a new parameter. For the key, enter __bx_creds. For the value, paste in the service credentials JSON object from the service instance that you created earlier.











 Using the Tone Analyzer package 

To use the actions in this package, run commands in the following format:

ibmcloud fn action invoke tone-analyzer-v3/<action_name> -b -p <param name> <param>
* [eu-gb](https://eu-gb.functions.cloud.ibm.com/)
* [eu-de](https://eu-de.functions.cloud.ibm.com/)
* [jp-tok](https://jp-tok.functions.cloud.ibm.com/)
* [au-syd](https://au-syd.functions.cloud.ibm.com)



The following examples point to the images ibmfunctions/action-nodejs-v12 and openwhisk/java8action on [hub.docker.com](https://hub.docker.com/). The tags can be version numbers such as 1.1.1 or the short form of a Git commit hash, like a231007.

Example image fields.

image: "ibmfunctions/action-nodejs-v12:1.1.1"

image: "openwhisk/java8action:a231007"

This JSON response shows the supported and the disabled runtimes. Disabled runtimes are marked with deprecated=true. Deprecated runtimes are not shown in this response. The deprecated flag that is returned in the response does not correspond to the deprecated runtimes as mentioned in [Available images and runtimes](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/openwhisk?topic=openwhisk-runtimesruntimes_available).

Deprecated runtimes are not marked as such in this response until the runtime is finally disabled. Deprecated runtimes are only marked as such in the console and in this documentation ([Available images and runtimes](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/openwhisk?topic=openwhisk-runtimesruntimes_available)).

When you troubleshoot a failing action (400, bad request) to identify whether a disabled runtime is used, check for deprecated=true in the query response. Actions that use a disabled runtime can be only read or deleted. You cannot run such an action.
Install the ibmcloud cf command line interface (CLI).



1. Download the ibmcloud cf command line tool installation program for your operating system.
2. Follow the tool wizard to complete the installation.

 Running your source code 

[Planning your build](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/codeengine?topic=codeengine-plan-buildplan-build)



* [Prepare your source location](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/codeengine?topic=codeengine-plan-buildbuild-plan-repo)
* [Choose a build strategy](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/codeengine?topic=codeengine-plan-buildbuild-strategy)



* [Dockerfile](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/codeengine?topic=codeengine-plan-buildbuild-dockerfile-strat)
* [Cloud Native Buildpacks](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/codeengine?topic=codeengine-plan-buildbuild-buildpack-strat)
Navigate to the Grant a Service Authorization page in the [IAM dashboard](https://cloud.ibm.com/iam/authorizations/grant).
2. From Source service, select Functions. Then, from Source service instance, select a Cloud Functions namespace. Note: Only IAM-enabled namespaces are supported.
3. In Target service, select Cloud Object Storage, then from Target service instance, select your IBM Cloud Object Storage instance.
4. Assign the Notifications Manager role and click Authorize.







 Assigning the Notifications Manager role with the CLI 

Copy the following command to assign the Notifications Manager role to your Cloud Functions namespace. Replace the source_service_instance_name variable with the name of your Cloud Functions namespace. Replace the target_service_instance name variable with the name of your IBM Cloud Object Storage instance.

ibmcloud iam authorization-policy-create functions cloud-object-storage "Notifications Manager" --source-service-instance-name <source_service_instance_name> --target-service-instance-name <target_service_instance_name>

Verify the Notifications Manager role has been set.

 2. Determining your trigger parameters 

The IBM Cloud Object Storage trigger includes multiple parameters that can be set to filter which bucket change events fire the trigger. For example, you can configure the trigger to fire on all bucket change events. Or, you can filter trigger fires based on the bucket change event type, such as write, delete, or all events. You can also filter the trigger activations by object prefix or suffix or both. You can then create actions and rules to process object changes from the bucket.

When you create a trigger from the CLI, you can also specify an endpoint parameter When not specified, this parameter is set to the schemeless private regional endpoint of your bucket. Example:



* (Default) Private schemeless endpoint: s3.private.us-south.cloud-object-storage.appdomain.cloud.
See [Deploy from Red Hat Marketplace](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/blockchain-sw-252?topic=blockchain-sw-252-deploy-ocp-rhm) to learn more.
* Is it possible to deploy blockchain nodes to multiple clouds from a single blockchain console?

You cannot currently deploy blockchain nodes to multiple hosted cloud providers. However, you can use your console to operate a distributed multicloud network by importing nodes deployed by using consoles on other clouds.
* How can I find what version of the IBM Blockchain Platform that I am running?

View the Support page by clicking the question mark icon ![Support link icon](https://cloud.ibm.com/images/support-link.png) in the upper right corner of the page. The IBM Blockchain Platform version is visible under the page heading.
* How do I get the latest Fabric version and Fabric functionalities on my IBM Blockchain Platform network?

Depending on the contents of a Fabric release and IBM Blockchain Platform, it might only be necessary to upgrade nodes to get access to the latest features. However, often it is necessary to update channel configurations with the latest capabilities in order to get access to the latest Fabric features. In these cases, it is important to upgrade components and channels in a particular order:



1. Upgrade nodes to the latest Fabric versions. Note that nodes are always backward compatible with earlier versions and earlier capabilities. For more information about upgrading nodes, see [Upgrading to a new version of Fabric](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/blockchain?topic=blockchain-ibp-console-govern-componentsibp-console-govern-components-upgrade).
2. Update channels with any new channel capabilities. If you update capabilities to a capability level (such as 2.0) before upgrading nodes to the Fabric version corresponding to a capability, the node may crash. For more information, see [Capabilities](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/blockchain?topic=blockchain-ibp-console-governibp-console-govern-capabilities).
The provider block includes all the input variables that the IBM Cloud Provider plug-in for the Terraform on IBM Cloud to provision your resources.

Do I need to provide the IBM Cloud API key?

The IBM Cloud API key is essential to authenticate with the IBM Cloud platform, receive the IAM token and IAM refresh token that Schematics requires to work with the resource's API, and to determine the permissions that you were granted. When you use native Terraform on IBM Cloud, you must always provide the IBM Cloud API key. In Schematics, the API key is automatically retrieved for all IAM-enabled resources, including IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service clusters, and VPC infrastructure resources. However, the API key is not retrieved for Cloud Foundry and classic infrastructure resources and must be provided in the provider block.

Can I specify a different IBM Cloud API key in the provider block?

If you want to use a different API key than the one that is associated with your IBM Cloud account, you can provide this API key in the provider block. If an API key is configured in the provider block, this key takes precedence over the API key that is stored in IBM Cloud.

Can I provide an API key for a service ID?

You can provide an API key for a service ID for all IAM-enabled services, including VPC infrastructure resources. You cannot use a service ID for classic infrastructure or Cloud Foundry resources.

To configure the provider block:



1. Choose how you want to configure the provider block.



* Option 1: Create a separate provider.tf file. The information in this file is loaded by Terraform on IBM Cloud and IBM Cloud Schematics, and applied to all Terraform on IBM Cloud configuration files that exist in the same GitHub directory or tape archive file (.tar). This approach is useful if you split out your infrastructure code across multiple files.
* Option 2: Add a provider block to your Terraform on IBM Cloud configuration file. You might choose this option if you prefer to specify the provider alongside with your variables and resources in one Terraform on IBM Cloud configuration file.
For more information, see [Configuring application scaling](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/codeengine?topic=codeengine-app-scale)





 High availability 

For aspects of high availability (and disaster recovery), Cloud Foundry and Code Engine are similar.



* Follow best practices for handling concurrent requests.
* Make sure to have at least two or even three instances of the app up and running.
* Run app instances in the available zones of a multi-zone region (MZR).
* Use a [global load balancer (GLB)](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/codeengine?topic=codeengine-deploy-multiple-regions) in front of app instances deployed to multiple MZRs for high availability on a global level.







 Traffic management and rolling updates 

To keep your app available when deploying a new version on Cloud Foundry, you use special CLI command options for [rolling updates or zero-downtime deployments](https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/devguide/deploy-apps/rolling-deploy.html). With Code Engine, the rolling updates are performed automatically. After the new app revision is ready, the traffic is moved from the old app to the new revision.

Performing blue-green deployments and gradually moving traffic from the old app to the new revision [required some manual intervention](https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/devguide/deploy-apps/blue-green.html) in Cloud Foundry. With Code Engine, you can use the capabilities built into its underlying Kubernetes and Knative layers. The blog post, [Blue-green deployment with IBM Cloud Code Engine and Knative](https://blog.4loeser.net/2022/03/blue-green-deployment-ibm-cloud-code-engine-knative.html), shows how the Knative CLI command to update the app so that the traffic is configured to split between revisions. Given an app named bluegreen and two revisions rev-old and rev-new, the following command splits the traffic 80/20 between them.

 26 March 2021 

IBM Cloud Code Engine is supported as an app deployment type
: IBM Cloud® Code Engine is now supported as an application deployment type when you use a starter kit in the IBM Cloud console. For more information, see the [Creating apps tutorial](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/apps?topic=apps-tutorial-starterkit).

[Code Engine](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/codeengine?topic=codeengine-getting-started) is a fully managed, serverless platform that runs your containerized workloads, including web apps, micro-services, event-driven functions, or batch jobs. Code Engine even builds container images for you from your source code. Because these workloads are all hosted within the same Kubernetes infrastructure, all of them can seamlessly work together. The Code Engine experience is designed so that you can focus on writing code and not on the infrastructure that is needed to host it.

Duplicate access group names
: Access groups must use unique names. You can't create or update IAM access groups to use the same name.

Configuring the IBM Cloud Provider plug-in 

Before you can start working with Terraform on IBM Cloud, you must retrieve the credentials and parameters that are required for a Terraform resource or data source, and specify them in the provider configuration. This configuration is used by the IBM Cloud Provider plug-in to authenticate with the IBM Cloud platform and to view, create, update, or delete IBM Cloud resources and services.



 Required input parameters for each resource category 

The configuration of the IBM Cloud Provider plug-in varies depending on the resource or data source category that you want to work with as shown in the following table. The values in this table are required. To retrieve the values or view more parameters that you can specify, see the [Supported input parameters](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/ibm-cloud-provider-for-terraform?topic=ibm-cloud-provider-for-terraform-provider-referenceprovider-parameter-ov).

By default, the IBM Cloud Provider plug-in is configured to create resources in the us-south region. If you want to create your resources in a different region, specify this region by adding the region parameter to your provider configuration.
