Hello! During summer 2021, I have been working at [CSC](https://www.csc.fi/), testing their cloud computing resources from the user standpoint. First, I used the Genie framework to create a simple web application with a user interface and JSON API. I also created some unit tests. Then, I deployed the application to a traditional virtual machine and a container platform. Here are some details:

1. I deployed the Genie application with Nginx reverse proxy and encryption with Let’s encrypt to Ubuntu 20.04 virtual machine with OpenStack on the CSC Pouta cloud service.

2. I created a Docker container for the application and deployed it to OpenShift 3.11 container platform on the CSC Rahti cloud service.

You can find the code from the [csc-training/GenieWebApp.jl](https://github.com/csc-training/GenieWebApp.jl) repository and detailed setup and deployment instructions in the [documentation](https://csc-training.github.io/GenieWebApp.jl/dev/).

I’m still improving the instructions and plan to write more about automating the deployment. The deployment instructions may be helpful even if you are not using Genie. Also, I might create some videos about deploying Genie applications. If you have questions or feedback, I would be happy to answer them!
