Can this Java web applic be replicated in Python and/or related toolkit (e.g., AI-Labs's Orange)?:

We are using Spring data gemfire, we are planning to migrate to Apache geode latest version. In the VMWare gemfire version we had to explicitly set the path of the gemfire installable for the pulse to work properly. If we are using Apache geode jar, will we able to get the pulse up and running without specifying the installable location.
We are not using gfsh in our project, we want to ensure that we have minimal dependency on the installable version when we upgrade gemfire.
You don't need to set the GEODE_HOME environment variable when using spring-boot-data-geode, you just need to make sure the correct dependencies are within the classpath of your application (see here for more details).
I've written a very basic example showing how to start a Locator with the Pulse application embedded, you can find it here
As a side note, and regarding the following:
We are using Spring data gemfire, we are planning to migrate to Apache geode latest version.
In order to avoid weird and hard to fix runtime issues, please always make sure to use a combination of versions fully supported in the Spring Boot for Apache Geode and VMware Tanzu GemFire Version Compatibility Matrix
After going through various answers and documentations I was able to start pulse by the help of following article.

We own a product written in .NET and that uses MS SQL Server. We need to write a new Integration layer that allows integration with a number of third party applications such as Jira, ServiceNow etc. Our endeavor is to use a Microservice based architecture for this integration later and not use an iPaaS or Centralized ESB. Questions are:
Can I embed Mule into a .NET Microservice?
If no, can I embed Mule into a Java Spring Boot application?
In either of the cases above, am I forced to use any other platform/ software from Mulesoft (such as the Mulesoft's Management Plane)?
Does Microservce based embedded Mule provide capabilities for performance/ health monitoring etc.?
Does Mule support writing any custom code in .NET?
Please find the answers below:
Can I embed Mule into a .NET Microservice?
No. Mule 4 is a Java application and currently is not meant to be embedded.
If no, can I embed Mule into a Java Spring Boot application?
No. Mule 4 is not distributed as an embedded Java library.
In either of the cases above, am I forced to use any other platform/ software from Mulesoft (such as the Mulesoft's Management Plane)?
No. You can run Mule as a standalone service or application without using MuleSoft's Control Plane. Be aware that you will lose all management features from the platform.
Does Microservce based embedded Mule provide capabilities for performance/ health monitoring etc.?
Please define to what you refer as "Microservice based embedded Mule". If you mean in the scenarios mentioned in questions 1) or 2) then the answer is no, because those are not valid deployment options for Mule 4.
Does Mule support writing any custom code in .NET?
Yes. There is a .Net Connector to execute .Net code from a Mule application. Look for the last release in the release notes.
is it possible to run Solr 6.4.1 on tomcat?
I read that Solr does not support tomcat anymore, is that true, if yes is there any other option without tomcat?
Yes, any version of Solr from 5 and onwards does not support Tomcat as an alternative officially.
The reasoning for this has been documented on the wiki:
Solr is intended to be a server not a Java web application, similar to mysql or the Apache web server. When Solr was first created, designing it as a web application was a convenient choice, to avoid writing a lot of tricky code to build a network layer. These days, this design decision has become a limiting factor.
When you download Solr and install it onto your machine, it should be Solr that gets started. It should not be necessary to install Solr into a third-party application (servlet container) before it will work.
At this time, Solr is still a webapp, but this is an internal implementation detail, not an immutable property. The intention is to make Solr into a completely standalone application. Startup scripts that start the included container are the first step towards that goal. Jetty might still be the technology used once Solr is a standalone application, but if that happens, it will be internally embedded.
At the moment you can still attempt to run Solr in a different container, as the current version bundles jetty and loads Solr inside jetty, but you can run into unexplainable issues where you'll always suspect the container to be the issue .. and if you have a problem, reporting bugs while running under Tomcat won't do any good.
From one of the comments on the old tomcat page on the community wiki:
If you want to go against recommendations and run 5.3 or later in Tomcat, you can likely still do so, but you will need to inform tomcat about an exploded web application (found in server/solr-webapp) instead of the .war file.
The server/solr_webapp/webapp folder is an exploded web application. Tomcat documentation should be able to tell you how to add such an application.
.. but if you're deploying Solr now, you really shouldn't. Use the bundled version of jetty (which might change to a stand alone version later) and the solr command / script.
They have stopped the support for the same.
Other option could be, you can check out the code and see if you can build the solr. I had tried it for earlier version (3.3).
I am not sure of the current version. But that could be the option for you.
I have posted instructions on how to get solr 6.2 running on Tomcat here. However, these instructions no longer work on Solr 6.3 or 6.4.
Is it possible to deploy vm's using a csv or something similar? I want to automate the install of about 100 servers. The only option I have found is using powershell. I would really like some other options though. Thanks.
VCenter exposes an API, the documentation for which can be found here:
http://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/sdk_pubs.html
Armed with that API and a template, you should be able to do what you want to do in the language of your choice.
Templates can be customized with a CustomizationSpec directly from the VSphere client as well, which means you can deploy directly from the template in the client.
Other options: VMware's Orchestrator or Microsoft Orchestrator with the VMware plugin.
However, is there really any reason not to use Powershell? PowerCLI can do what you want to do and very easily. I've deployed thousands of servers with it.
I am looking form a test automation frameowrk which can work in Clinet/Server architecture (distributed env) and support a mix of operating systems like Windows, unix/linux and Mac
I am currently evaluating and looking for only OpenSource solutions, I found just one framework
STAF , any help on pointing out other similar framework would be of great help
This is not for a web based application , but for a application using CLI & GUI interface & no proper API layer :(
STAF is probably the best option for this sort of thing. It has really good cross-platform support, thorough documentation, and has been pretty stable for years. It's also extensible if you need to customize the services for your own needs.
STAF does seem to be the standard. However if you have something which will handle the distribution for you then it is easy to hook up results gathering. I might suggest starting with hudson which is actually a distributed build tool with some support for testing through the plugins.
The Robot Framework has a remote testing library that uses XML-RPC to send commands from the testing framework to remote servers. It has sample remote servers in python and ruby.
