I recently started to look into Istio and Kiali.

This isn’t specific to our game “Blue Cloud Mirror”. Everyone trying to create a Hybrid Cloud will need to decide how to connect a local application in a secure manner with code running on the Cloud without fully opening “the doors”. IBM offers a service called Secure Gateway exactly for this purpose. It creates a TLS encrypted tunnel (TLS v1.2) between a Secure Gateway Server on the IBM Cloud and a Secure Gateway Client installed on-premise in your private network. The connection is initiated from the Client so there shouldn’t be any issues with your firewall.

In my last blog I presented an overview and introduction to Blue Cloud Mirror. In this blog I want to describe the back end of the Users API.

Blue Cloud Mirror is an online game based on multiple IBM Cloud technologies. It has two levels, in level one you need to show five facial expressions like happy, angry, etc. In level two you need to show five body positions. Have a look at it and play it here.

Last Thursday night was the Stuttgart Kubernetes Meetup, hosted by CGI in Echterdingen (thanks!!!). I got the chance to talk about “Project Eirini”.
