A SoFy solution is a Kubernetes application described by a Helm diagram generated by SoFy. A solution includes:

  • One or more services (products, modules, demo packages) selected from the SoFy catalog that provide the desired application functions
  • Routing and monitoring services
  • Optional platform services, known as SoFy Common Services, provide a secure and managed environment (you can optionally enable this feature when creating a new SoFy solution).

All services are managed via their respective Helm charts. When a solution is deployed in Kubernetes, the services run in a private network and communicate with each other using internal IP addresses that services outside the solution's network cannot access. All access from outside the solution, such as from your browser or local application, uses the solution's single external IP address. This external IP address connects to the routing component, or ingress controller. SoFy uses Ambassador as the ingress controller for each solution. It provides a useful control point for all traffic to and from the solution network, such as in the access control application example.

    Deploying a SoFy solution takes place in 3 simple steps:

    1. Explore the catalog

    2. Create a solution

    3. Release to the cloud

    Choose the cloud that suits your company's needs: private, public, or hybrid. You decide where your data is processed and stored.

    Step 1: Explore the catalog

    Wouldn't it be great to have a catalog of ready-to-use enterprise software products and services with a tool to easily deploy them in a cloud-native environment like Google Kubernetes Engine? HCL SoFy uses Helm technology to deliver HCL products and APIs as cloud-ready building blocks. These catalog products and services are enabled for Kubernetes as Docker images and Helm charts.

    To view the entire catalog, select "Catalog" from the top menu. Click the drop-down button to change the version, add it to a solution, or click the card to learn more. The catalog details page contains important information and documentation on using that product or service. You can also search the catalog by entering keywords in the search box.

    Step 2: Create a solution

    Creating a solution can be quick and easy. To begin, click the Catalog tab and follow the instructions:
    Select one or more products and/or services from the catalog. The solution window will appear on the page. Give your solution a name, version, and description, and click "Create".

    Once your solution has been created, you will be redirected to the solution details page where you can view the content of your solution and download the .tgz file.
    Note: You have the option to use HCL's own sandbox to preview your solution.

    HCL SoFy

    Step 3: Share to the cloud

    Deploy the solution in a cloud-native, container-based environment that is fast and cost-effective. Whether you choose a public cloud like Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) or prefer a private platform like Anthos GKE, SoFy solutions are portable to all Kubernetes environments, giving you complete freedom of choice.

    Once you have created your solution with the products and services of your choice, you can preview it in our sandbox or use it locally in the cloud of your choice.

    SoFy offers a sandbox (Kubernetes cluster) for limited testing of solutions, but it is not a deployment platform. Note: Solutions have only been tested in GCP and AWS so far.
