If you're running IRIS in a mirrored configuration for HA in AWS, the question of providing a Mirror VIP (Virtual IP) becomes relevant. Virtual IP offers a way for downstream systems to interact with IRIS using one IP address. Even when a failover happens, downstream systems can reconnect to the same IP address and continue working.

⏯ Configuring Secure File Transfer in Health Connect Cloud

Hi Community,

Watch this video to learn how to improve care and reduce costs with the HealthShare Care Management Notifications Solution Pack, a fully managed cloud solution from InterSystems.

Hi All! For those of you who are users of our cloud services, you may have been introduced to Health Connect Cloud. One topic within that cloud service that can be a little tricky is understanding how GitLab and the source control workflow fit seamlessly into your integration workflow in Health Connect Cloud. I recently presented a lightboard video explaining how this works, including the slightly different workflows for building interfaces via code versus building via the Management Portal UI. If you use Health Connect Cloud, let me know if this is helpful or if you have questions!

InterSystems has made the decision to stop further development of the InterSystems Cloud Manager and label it as deprecated as of the InterSystems IRIS 2023.3 release.  InterSystems will continue to support existing customers using the technology, but it is no longer recommended for new deployments.

Customers in the cloud who are interested in deploying and managing an IRIS deployment with many systems are encouraged to consider Kubernetes and the InterSystems Kubernetes Operator, which has very similar functionality to ICM.

Hi All! If you have looked into Health Connect Cloud at all, you may know that the cloud-native environment presents a few differences from traditional deployments of InterSystems integrations. If you've taken a classroom course at InterSystems, you may have used "in" and "out" folders in productions to simulate receiving and outputting HL7 messages.

Configuring Secure File Transfer in Health Connect Cloud shows how this is achieved in a cloud environment where you can't simply create an "in" and "out" folder on your local server. Let me know if you have any questions!

⏯ Best Practices for InterSystems IRIS System Performance in the Cloud @ Global Summit 2023

Earlier today I enrolled at Cloud Services Portal and clicked "Start trial" for the "Health Connect Cloud" service. Next step was "Create Deployment". The only deployment size offered was "Micro", so I picked that, completed the other required details and clicked "Create".

Response was:

I reported this using the "Submit Feedback" option on the dropdown from my username in the top right of Cloud Services Portal but haven't yet received a response. Hence this DC post, in case someone here can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

⏯ Stepping Out of the Shadows: How the US VA Migrated to Mirroring, InterSystems IRIS & the Cloud @ Global Summit 2023

With the world (as well as our own technology) moving to the cloud at such a fast pace it is easy (at least for myself) to get caught up in the little details. One thing I, and some clients of ours, had run into a couple of times was the necessity to specify the version of the images one plans to use with the IKO.

For example, one issue that often gets overlooked is the compatibilityVersion field for the IKO. Depending on which IKO you are using there is a default value (for IKO 3.6 this happens to be 2023.2.0, and for IKO 3.5 this is 2022.3.0).

⏯ How to Configure Firewall Rules in Health Connect Cloud

Has anyone tried AWS Batch with InterSystems IRIS docker images?

I have a noninteractive workload (but it requires internet access from the job to deliver results), so I'm considering using it as a simpler alternative to ECS since Fargate backs both, and that's enough for my use case.

I wonder if anyone tried and cares to share the results, issues, cfn templates.

Summary

A Quick start to include InterSystems IRIS Tables in Data Build Tool using Python.

It uses the sqlalchemy plugin with sqlalchemy-iris which enables the iris strategy for duckdb as a source for a project.

EDIT: If you stumbled here on Google Geuse for "iris dbt", your best bet is to checkout dbt-iris for the native adapter implementation that follows dbt guidelines.

Im out of town for the Python meetup in Cambridge, but will submit to the InterSystems Python Programming Contest starting in September.

Has anyone firstly got VIP working for mirroring in Azure?  We are pretty sure that this won't work but I wanted to verify it.

Has anyone used the Azure Load balancer to act as a Virtual IP and if so was a application gateway required.

Interested to know your experiences in getting this working.

InterSystems Kubernetes Operator (IKO) 3.6 is now Generally Available.  IKO 3.6 adds significant new functionality along with numerous bug fixes.  Highlights include:

• Easily include Web Gateway sidecars for compute and data nodes.

Iris DAT file is filling up  the Internal Storage with available Free Space to Zero. Is there any Alternative measures to reduce the File size or to control the Capacity.  Is there any chance to save Local storage. 

Once the Local Storage is full, Production is not responding and throwing Out of Space Error.

Does IRIS has any Internal Cloud Storage which can be used for managing and Storing  Database Operations. If yes, How can we configure it,

I'm trying to execute SQL on a EC2 via SSM:

Our objective

In the last article, we talked about a few starters for Django. We learned how to begin the project, ensure we have all the requisites, and make a CRUD. However, today we are going a little further. 
Sometimes we need to access more complex methods, so today, we will connect IRIS to a Python environment, build a few functions and display them on a webpage. It will be similar to the last discussion, but further enough for you to make something new, even though not enough to feel lost.

InterSystems IRIS Cloud SQL is a fully managed cloud service that brings the power of InterSystems IRIS relational database capabilities used by thousands of enterprise customers to a broad audience of application developers and data professionals. InterSystems IRIS Cloud IntegratedML is an option to this database-as-a-service that offers easy access to powerful Automated Machine Learning capabilities in a SQL-native form, through a set of simple SQL commands that can easily be embedded in application code to augment them with ML models that run close to the data.

Today, we announce the Developer Access Program for these two offerings. Application developers can now self-register for the service, create deployments and start building composable applications and smart data services, with all provisioning, configuration and administration taken care of by the service.

Nowadays, most applications are deployed on public cloud services. It brings many advantages including savings in human and material resources, the ability to grow quickly and cheaply, greater availability, reliability, elastic scalability, and options to improve the protection of digital assets. One of the most popular options is AWS. It allows us to deploy our applications usings virtual machines (EC2 service), Docker containers (ECS service), or Kubernetes (EKS service).

 These days the vast majority of applications are deployed on public cloud services. There are multiple advantages, including the reduction in human and material resources needed, the ability to grow quickly and cheaply, greater availability, reliability, elastic scalability, and options to improve the protection of digital assets. One of the most favored options is the Google Cloud. It lets us deploy our applications using virtual machines (Compute Engine), Docker containers (Cloud Run), or Kubernetes (Kubernetes Engine). The first one does not use Docker.

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud provides a broad set of infrastructure services, such as compute resources, storage options, and networking that are delivered as a utility: on-demand, available in seconds, with pay-as-you-go pricing. New services can be provisioned quickly, without upfront capital expense. This allows enterprises, start-ups, small and medium-sized businesses, and customers in the public sector to access the building blocks they need to respond quickly to changing business requirements.
