Deploy your cloud-native applications
on IBM Power Systems
using the same experience and tools
as on Intel-based servers
and gain a twofold increase
in price performance.
In this environment, a two-tier application
is built with multi-architecture docker images
Let's explore how to deploy
the two tier application on Intel based servers
The let's look at how to deploy the same
two tier application on IBM Power Systems
We'll also find out what is the value proposition of using IBM Power Systems architecture.
The two tier application made up of
Node.js and MongoDB,
is leveraged to deploy a geospatial workload.
Respective multi-architecture Docker images with manifest,
are created to run on both
IBM Power and Intel architecture.
We will now deploy the application on IBM cloud Kubernetes services running on an Intel server.
You can see that the containers
are up and running,
and have consumed the x86 docker images.
Once the application is deployed in the cloud, we can run a query to fetch a specific data set.
We will now deploy the same application to
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform cluster,
hosted on IBM Power Systems.
You can see that the containers are
up and running, 
and have consumed the IBM Power
docker images.
You can now fetch the same data set
that was queried on the public cloud.
As you have seen,
there is no additional configuration required
to deploy an application on
IBM Power architecture.
So what are the advantages of running a
cloud-native application on IBM Power Systems?
The POWER9 server supports
thrice as many containers,
and has more than twice the price performance advantage compared to Intel x86 servers.
Which means, you will need about half the servers to support your cloud infrastructure,
along with realizing significant savings on
any core-based licensed software.
