Promote Glassfish Deployment on Nanos Unikernel Image

[AngeloRubens]

Hi Glassfish team member, I'm Angelo Rubini, a professional developer and a Jakarta EE community member. I've been following Glassfish since v2. For a personal case study, I created a POC and an article demonstrating the maturity of the Nanos unikernel and how to use it with JRE Azul and Glassfish version of Payara. At the end of the article, there's a link to the demo running on Oracle OCI Free Plan. Do you think it could be published in the Glassfish social channel after editing the article for promote the glassfish on nanos unikernel image ? Link to Article and POC regards and Happy New Year.

Hi, @AngeloRubens , the Nanos Unkernel project looks very promising. I already tried it with GlassFish 7.1 and made both GlassFish server and Embedded GlassFish running on it (on Linux). We'll try to promote your article and presentation as possible, e.g. on the glassfish.org website, on OmniFish website and blog and on social media.

Hi @OndroMih, great, I've also created a sample CI/CD pipeline to build and deploy nanos(https://github.com/nanovms) images with Jakarta EE. If the Eclipse Foundation or the Glassfish team has a cloud provider available, we could consider creating this pipeline to deploy the Glassfish nanos image to their cloud provider. What do you think?

This is the GitHub Action article sample https://github.com/AngeloRubens/ci-cd-nanos-unikernel

Hi @OndroMih, @arjantijms , i want deploy nanos image with last version of glassfish 8.
Do you have any sample applications we want to include in the POC to show? Or I'll include this one I used on payara7 primefaces-showcase + info page, http://158.180.236.67:8080/primefaces-showcase-16.0.0-SNAPSHOT/info.xhtml

Hi, @AngeloRubens, we don’t have any special application. We usually use the CargoTracker demo application for demos, but the Primefaces showcase is also good.

We have this one too: https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-examples/tree/main/applications/kickoff and several ones here: https://github.com/javaeekickoff (but frankly, they all need work)
