Article Ron Sweeney · Nov 28, 2023 2m read k9s - Manage Your IrisClusters In Style K9s is a terminal-based UI (aka kubectl clown suit), to manage Kubernetes clusters that drastically simplifies navigating, observing, and managing your applications in K8s, including Custom Resources like the InterSystems Kubernetes Operator (IKO) and ArgoCD Applications. If you are about to take your CKD, CKA, or CKS, leave k9s well enough alone for awhile as the abstraction to kubectl will become the standard for navigating the cluster and you will undoubtedly become estranged to the extended flags of kubectl and bomb the exam. #Kubernetes #Namespace #Terminal #InterSystems IRIS 3 1 0 158

You don't have to build out to far with a production implementation until you'll need to reach out and get something or set something in IRIS to make your application do its awesome sauce, so hopefully you will find value in this article and build something that matters or doesn't matter at all to anybody else but you as that is equally important. #integration-required #Python #InterSystems IRIS #InterSystems IRIS for Health 7 2 1 742
Article Ron Sweeney · Nov 7, 2019 5m read Export InterSystems IRIS Data to BigQuery on Google Cloud Platform Loading your IRIS Data to your Google Cloud Big Query Data Warehouse and keeping it current can be a hassle with bulky Commercial Third Party Off The Shelf ETL platforms, but made dead simple using the iris2bq utility. Let's say IRIS is contributing to workload for a Hospital system, routing DICOM images, ingesting HL7 messages, posting FHIR resources, or pushing CCDA's to next provider in a transition of care. Natively, IRIS persists these objects in various stages of the pipeline via the nature of the business processes and anything you included along the way. Lets send that up to Google Big Query to augment and compliment the rest of our Data Warehouse data and ETL (Extract Transform Load) or ELT (Extract Load Transform) to our hearts desire. A reference architecture diagram may be worth a thousand words, but 3 bullet points may work out a little bit better: It exports the data from IRIS into DataFrames It saves them into GCS as .avro to keep the schema along the data: this will avoid to specify/create the BigQuery table schema beforehands. It starts BigQuery jobs to import those .avro into the respective BigQuery tables you specify. #Best Practices #Big Data #Cloud #GCP #integration-required #InterSystems IRIS #InterSystems IRIS for Health Open Exchange app 5 3 0 946

In short, I wanted to highlight: The implementation of Amazon Web Services to provision the infrastructure, including the auto-creation of the state level instances through Cloud Formation. The use of the HSPD Broadcast functionality to Notify Upstream Systems Changes in Master Provider Data. The implementation of a transformation of the standard Broadcast Object to HL7 MFN for interoperability.
