Let me clarify what this article is about. Huddo (also known as ISW) is selling 2 versions of their Boards product:
Kudos Boards – The Java application that can be installed on WebSphere. Active development has stopped a few years ago
Huddo Boards – The product consisting of several containers, which can be installed on Kubernetes or a container engine like Docker. A version with limited functionality is part of the HCL Connections component pack and known as Activities Plus. This product is actively being developed and also available for other platforms.
Although the Connections Component pack was introduced in version 6 already, many companies refrained from installing it due to the serious amount of extra infrastructure needed to run these components, which includes a Kubernetes cluster. We call these the WebSphere-only Connections installations, as they only include the WebSphere stack part of Connections.
So what if you would like to use the full power of Huddo Boards without having to install a Kubernetes cluster? That’s what this article is about.
